Settings → Compliance holds the standing rules for what your drafts can and
cannot say: the wording that always gets attached, the claims you never make,
and the posture your industry demands. It is set per workspace, and it is the
standing version of rules you would otherwise repeat in every request.
Things that always get said
Your standing disclosures — the paid-partnership line, the results disclaimer,
the regulated footnote — and where each one belongs.
Each row shows what it says, where it shows up, and whether it is settled.
Two ways to add one:
- Adopt a standard one offers published standard wording, your declared
industry’s set first. Adopt it, then edit it until it sounds like you.
- Write a new one takes a short name and the text itself. It starts
unsettled, so you can read it back before it counts.
Once a disclosure is settled, its wording is added automatically to video
descriptions and ad copy when a piece goes out, and it is checked against its
stored fingerprint first. Email footers are not added for you — your team
still carries those.
Adding, adopting and settling are owner and admin actions. Anyone on the team
can ask for a change.
Changing settled wording
Settled wording does not get quietly edited. Open the disclosure from its row
and you get one of two things:
Ask to change it
Write the wording you want instead, and why. Send it for a decision puts
it in front of an owner or admin. Both fields are required. The wording in
use does not move while the request waits.
Decide a change
An owner or admin sees In use now beside Proposed, who asked and
why. Approve and settle makes the new wording the one in use;
Send it back needs a reason. Either way the old wording is kept.
The page keeps the full history of a disclosure — every version, who settled it
and when. A disclosure written before changes were tracked shows no history
until an owner or admin records the wording in use as its first version.
Approving a change you asked for yourself depends on your industry posture.
Where A regulator reads your marketing is on, it is refused outright —
someone else has to clear it. Where it is off, you can settle your own request
and the record shows that you did; the screen still says that another person
deciding it is the stronger trail.
Things you never claim
The standing list of words and claims to keep out of drafts. Type a phrase and
press Enter to add it; the × on a term removes it.
Goosy works within this list while he writes. Anything sent for approval that
uses one of these terms is held until a compliance approver clears it — so a
term on this list slows a piece down rather than being silently stripped out of
it.
This is the same list as the never-use words on your Brand screen. One list,
two places to reach it — add a phrase in either and it applies to both.
Your industry
Picking your industry decides which standard wording you are offered when you
adopt a disclosure. Leave it Not set if none of them fit.
Beside it, A regulator reads your marketing records the stricter posture
your team works to for this brand.
Who signs off
Owners and admins decide a change to settled wording, and the screen tells you
which of the two you are: either you can settle a change on this account, or you
can ask for one and an owner or admin settles it.
A change that is waiting shows on the disclosure’s own row as waiting, with
the settled wording still in use until somebody decides.
Industry restrictions
A free-text box for the standing rule you draft to — the thing a new writer in
your industry would have to be told on day one. Goosy reads it before he writes
anything for this brand.
