Website monitoring keeps an eye on your live web pages after they are published. Warrant checks the pages you choose on a schedule, compares them with what was approved in Warrant, scans them for compliance issues, and turns anything that needs a decision into a task. It is for compliance teams who need a record of what was live and what they did about it. Admins set it up, and people with a Monitoring seat review what it finds. To watch social or ad accounts, see Monitoring Social.
Before you start
Monitoring is an add-on. If you don't see Monitoring in Settings, contact [email protected] to turn it on for your company.
Give Monitoring seats to the people who will review findings. Go to Settings → Members and turn on their switch in the Monitoring column, or open their page and use Monitoring seat. Settings → Monitoring → Members lists everyone who holds a seat.
Add a website
Click Settings in the left sidebar, then under Monitoring select Websites.
In Add a website, choose Single page or Multiple pages.
For a single page, enter its Page address, for example https://www.example.com/rates. For several pages, enter the Website address, click Check the site to list its pages, then search and tick the pages you want.
Choose how the site is checked:
Check every: how often Warrant checks the pages, from every 7 days to every 360 days.
Owner: who new tasks from this site are assigned to. Only people with a Monitoring seat can be owners.
Brands: the brands whose guidelines and rules the pages are checked against. Leave it empty for every brand.
Flag pages that are: Never approved, Changed since approval and Compliance issues. At least one must stay ticked. Without Compliance issues, pages aren't scanned, only compared with what was approved.
Click Start monitoring.
The first check reads every page you picked. After that, only pages that change are scanned again. Your plan sets how many websites you can monitor at once, and the page shows how many are in use.
Monitoring checks your pages on a schedule, so a change that goes live and is replaced between two checks isn't recorded. Approving content before it is used is still your firm's process.
What Warrant checks
Whether the page was approved. Warrant looks for the approved file in your Library that each page came from. A page that matches nothing approved is flagged as Never approved, and a page that no longer matches its approved version is flagged as Changed since approval.
Compliance. Each page is scanned against your regulations, policies, disclosures and brand, the same way a file in your Library is.
Key pages. Key pages are also checked from a screenshot, for logos, colors, disclosure marks and fine print. The home page is always a key page, and you can mark others as key in the site's page list.
Manage a monitored website
Under Monitored websites, open a site to see its pages, scans and downloads. From there you can:
Add pages, rename them, mark key pages, or archive pages you no longer want checked. Archived pages keep every version and finding in the record, and you can restore them.
Change the site's schedule, owner, brands and what it flags.
Use the ⋯ menu to Pause checks (for a week, 30 days, 90 days or until you resume), Download record as a readable PDF or a full zip for filing, or Remove website. Removing a site stops checks, but every version, scan and finding is kept, and adding the site again picks up where it left off.
Review what Monitoring finds
People with a Monitoring seat switch to Monitor in the sidebar.
Overview shows what is live, how it compares with what was approved, and what needs a decision.
Tasks lists every flagged page with its Reason flagged, who it is Assigned to and whether it is on track or overdue.
Open a task to see the live capture, its Scan findings, Versions, Info, Notes and Audit trail. From there you can Map to an approved asset (any file in your Library, approved or not), Approve after it went live through an approval flow, comment on or dismiss findings, or choose Don't flag again for a finding that doesn't apply.
In your Library, a file's Info tab shows Live in Monitor when Monitor has found it live, with a link to each page.
Notifications, Search, Calendar and Reports help you follow up and export what was live, what changed and what compliance did about it.
Website Scanner scans a page, or pages of a site you pick, once, and lets you download the report as a PDF, CSV or Excel file. Nothing is monitored afterwards.

Settings → Monitoring → SLA: who new tasks go to and how long a fix may take for each severity.
Monitoring noise control (in Settings → Compliance → Policy tasks & audit trail): findings reviewers chose not to see again, and pages Monitoring never checks.
Monitoring page scans (in Settings → Members → Usage): your Monitoring plan. Each website page Monitoring checks is one page scan, and these don't use your regular AI scans.
Who can use it
Admins set up websites, seats and Monitoring settings, even without a seat of their own.
People with a Monitoring seat use Monitor to review tasks and findings.
