1. Studio

Studio is where you write content and get instant compliance feedback, before you've created final assets or as a last check before sending for approval.

→ Catch problems early. Don't wait until the design is locked.

Open Studio

Click Studio in the left sidebar. You’ll immediately open a new chat. 

Get compliance feedback

1. Upload, type, or paste your content or question. You can even drag and drop a file into the chat window. 

   → To get a better review, add context on the channel, product, and geography to your request.

2. Warrant analyzes your content and shows:

   • What's flagged — the specific text with issues

   • Why — which rule it violates

   • How to fix it — suggested alternative language

3. Make changes, upload new versions, and ask for clarification. 

4. When your draft is ready for formal review or to add to the company’s file libary, click “Add to Library.” 

5. Then, either “Add to Folder” or “Create a New Project.”

Your content is now in the File Library where you can scan it, add new versions, and submit for approval.

2. Uploading Content

Add existing files or capture web pages to review in Warrant.

→ Everything in one place, a single source of truth for your marketing assets. PDFs, images, videos, and even live web pages.

Warrant is a full digital asset manager that is flexible to how your team works.

3. Warrant captures the page as a png and pdf. Now you can scan it like any other file.

Duplicate file check

→ Warrant automatically compares new uploads to past materials, so your library stays clean and you can track items across versions.

If your file has the same name or is 80% similar to an existing file, Warrant will flag you during upload. 

You have two choices:

1. You can add the file as a new version. It will be part of the existing file as the new primary version.

2. OR Create a new file. These files will not be linked.

3. Running Scans

Check your content against compliance rules before submitting for approval.

→ Know exactly what needs to be fixed and save your approver’s time. 

Open your file

Double-click any file in your library to open it in the File Viewer.

3. Click Run Compliance Scan

Review results

Results show up organized by risk:

Click any flag to see:

• The exact text that's problematic and where it is in the asset

• Which AI policy rule it violates

→ Fix the issues, upload a new version, and scan again to confirm they're resolved.

4. Adding Versions

When you update content, add a new version instead of uploading a new file.

→ All your history stays connected. See what changed, when, and why.

When to add a version

• You fixed compliance issues
