Welcome to Warrant OS! Please explore this article for tips on setting up your company and team on the platform.

This guide walks you through the four things you need to configure before your team can start using Warrant:

  1. Company Settings — Tell Warrant about your business

  2. Approval Workflows — Define how content gets reviewed

  3. Scan Settings — Choose which regulations to check

  4. Team — Invite your colleagues

💡 The easiest way to set up is to use the Getting Started flow in the left sidebar. It walks you through each step.


Step 1: Company Settings

Tell Warrant about your business so our AI can give you relevant compliance feedback.

The more Warrant knows about you, the smarter your compliance reviews become.

How to get there

  1. Click Admin in the left sidebar

  2. Select Company Settings

What to fill in

Fields marked with ⭐ are required.

Company Name ⭐: Your organization's name

Industry Sector ⭐: Helps us prioritize the right regulations

Website URL: Your company website

Company Description: Grab this from your About page — it helps our AI understand your business

Products & Services ⭐: Add each product name and type, separated by commas. These become selectable options when you scan content.

This means your team can quickly tag which product a piece of content is about.

Countries Operating In ⭐: We'll show you the right regulators based on where you do business

States Operating In ⭐: Select all states where you operate. Use 'Select All' if you're in all 50 states + D.C.

State-level rules matter. Insurance, securities, and consumer protection laws vary by state.

Brand Guidelines ⭐: Upload your brand standards as a PDF. Warrant will check content against your brand rules too.

Now every scan can catch off-brand content, not just compliance issues.

The page saves automatically as you fill it in.


Step 2: Approval Workflows

Define how content moves through review before it can be used.

No more email chains or lost approvals. Everything is tracked in one place.

How to get there

  1. Click Company in the left sidebar

  2. Select the Approval tab at the top

Turn on approvals

Toggle Approvals on (blue) to require review before content can be marked approved.

Choose your auto-approval setting

Decide which content needs human review:

Setting

What happens

Best for

All Assets

Everything goes through manual review

Strict compliance (FINRA, etc.)

Any Risk

Only flagged content needs review

Balanced approach

High & Medium Risk

Low-risk flags auto-approve

Faster workflows

High Risk Only

Only critical issues need review

High-velocity teams

⚠️ For FINRA-regulated companies: We recommend requiring review for all assets since a licensed principal must review marketing materials.

Create an approval flow

  1. Click Add New Approval Flow

  2. Name it clearly (e.g., 'Marketing Review' or 'Legal Approval')

  3. Add a description so your team knows when to use it

  4. Choose the review mode:

    • Sequential — Stages happen in order. Stage 2 doesn't start until Stage 1 approves.

    • Parallel — All reviewers see it at once. Anyone can approve.

  5. Add your first stage:

    • Give it a name (e.g., 'Legal')

    • Add the approvers

    • Choose: Any One (one person approves) or Everyone (all must approve)

  6. Add more stages if needed with '+ Add Stage'

  7. Click Save Changes

You can create multiple flows for different content types: quick review for social, full review for campaigns.

Set expiration rules

Approved content doesn't stay approved forever. Set when it expires:

  1. Choose a default expiration period (30 days, 90 days, 1 year, etc.)

  2. Decide if expired content should automatically resubmit for re-approval

Never worry about outdated content staying live. Warrant tracks it for you.


Step 3: Scan Settings

Choose which regulations and policies Warrant checks your content against.

1,500+ rules from federal regulators, state agencies, and platforms; you pick what applies to you.

How to get there

  1. Click Settings in the left sidebar

  2. Select Scan Settings

  3. Stay on the Default Policies tab.

Turn on compliance reviews

  1. Toggle on AI Compliance Reviews at the top. This enables scanning in Studio and Scan.

  2. Toggle on Brand Guidelines at the bottom to also check content against your brand standards.

Select your regulators

  1. In the first table, enable the federal regulators and platform policies that apply to your business:

  2. Once enabled, you'll see individual policies in the table below. Use search and filters to find specific rules, then enable the ones you need.

💡 Don't enable everything, more rules means more noise. Focus on what actually applies to your business.

Set risk levels

For each policy, assign a risk level:

Level

Use for

High

Critical violations that could mean fines or lawsuits

Medium

Important rules you want to catch (recommended for most)

Low

Nice-to-have checks, company-specific preferences

Risk levels tie into auto-approval settings you set in Company Settings.


Step 4: Invite Your Team

Add your colleagues so they can start uploading and reviewing content.

How to get there

1. Click Settings in the left sidebar and select Team.
