# Creating A New Policy
To create a new policy, click on **Create New Policy**. Input the name of the policy and add a short description with details such as version number (v1.0, v2.0 etc.). Optionally, the policy can be attached to a control by selecting **Attach Framework.**
After this, a new policy will be created as a placeholder. To finish, click on **Start.**
Select between creating one using Complyan's templates or uploading an already existing file. Note, different types of documents; policies, procedures, processes, guidelines etc., can be uploaded in this module.
Follow steps after selecting your preferred method to complete the creation of a new document.
