Silktide's custom policy module allows
you to create custom checks that Silktide performs
on your websites, allowing you to enforce consistency
across them.
If there's a check that Silktide doesn't include by default,
the chances are you can add one via custom policies.
Many of our customers use these to help enforce their style
guide or to help their QA teams adopt their best practices.
Let me show you an example.
Here's a demo account we've put together.
This fictional company has recently
moved address from Canary Wharf in London to Liverpool.
So what we don't want to happen with any new content
created is any reference to the old address
still being present on the website.
This policy appears under "Custom checks".
And as you can see, it has a title and a handy description
to let your content editors know what it's for.
The rules are set up to look for the phrase
"Canary Wharf" in any text on your website.
If Silktide finds some,
it lists them here.
As with all Silktide checks, you can just
click on this magnifying glass and you
can see where the issue appears for this instance.
Custom policies can be made for any number of things, not just
text content.
You might want to check that images above a particular file
size aren't uploaded, or you might
want to check that some custom JavaScript is
installed on every page.
Whatever you're trying to test,
Silktide can help you create a custom policy for it
so it can be as flexible as you need it to be.
