# 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.
To view inbuilt policies and documents on Complyan or only see documents created by you, toggle the highlighted button.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.complyan.com/complyan-modules/policy-management/creating-a-new-policy.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
