# Activate a built-in framework

> Learn how to activate a pre-built governance framework and apply it to your projects

Openlayer provides pre-built frameworks for major governance standards. Activating one
maps the standard's requirements to actionable rules across your projects. No configuration needed.

## How to activate

<Steps>
  <Step title="Review the framework">
    Navigate to **Governance > Frameworks** and click any framework to open its overview.

    You'll see a description of the standard, the total number of rules, a breakdown of platform rules vs. evidence-based rules, and current completion metrics across your workspace.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Activate the framework">
    Click **Activate** on the framework. A modal opens prompting you to choose
    which projects should follow it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Scope to projects">
    Select projects individually, or use filters to apply the framework based on:

    * **Risk level** — e.g., apply only to high-risk projects
    * **Approval status** — e.g., apply to projects pending review
    * **Task type** — e.g., Generative AI, Tabular classification

    The framework applies to all matching projects — both existing ones and any future projects that meet the criteria.
  </Step>

  <Step title="What happens next">
    Each scoped project immediately receives a compliance checklist. Teams can view and complete their requirements directly from the project's Governance mode.
  </Step>
