Content policy
A content policy is a check you create yourself. You define phrases to look for, and Silktide reports every page where they appear. What a match means - and what to do about it - is defined by whoever created the policy.
Organizations use content policies to enforce their own rules at scale: finding outdated product names, banned or non-compliant wording, or placeholder text that should never reach a live page.
How to fix it
Each finding shows the matched text in context on the page. Edit the page in your to remove or replace the offending content, or findings that are acceptable where they are. If the policy itself is too broad, refine its phrases rather than approving matches one by one.
How Silktide tests this
- The policy defines one or more phrases to find, one per line.
- Its match type controls precision: Whole words only matches complete words ("cat" does not match "catalog"), while Any text matches anywhere, even inside longer words. Matching can also be made case sensitive.
- Silktide evaluates the policy against the text people can see on each page,
including such as image
altattributes. Elements you have excluded from checking are skipped. - Every match becomes a finding, highlighted on the page in the Inspector. A policy that matches a page without pointing at a specific element reports the page as a whole.
Troubleshooting
A phrase on the page is not found
Check the policy's match type. With Whole words, a phrase inside another word does not match. Also confirm the text is real page text: text drawn inside images or embedded media cannot be searched.
Too many findings
Prefer longer, more specific phrases. Matching short common words with Any text can flag hundreds of harmless occurrences.
