Updates to review: when iComply changes an item
When iComply publishes a new version of an item you follow, or retires one, you see what changed and choose: adopt, ignore or later. Admins get one email a week at most.

iComply reviews catalogue items and publishes new versions when the rules change. You keep following the version you have until you choose otherwise: nothing changes by itself.
How to review an update
- Step 1: Open your compliance profile. Updates to review lists each item with a newer version, every version since yours, and What changed in plain words.
- Step 2: Select Check it against the source to read the regulator's page.
- Step 3: Choose Adopt (follow the new version), Ignore (keep the one you have; you'll hear about later updates) or Later (keep it in the list and off your dashboard for a week).
Retired items
If iComply retires an item you follow (usually because the rule changed or another item replaced it), it's marked Retired by iComply. Your evidence and history stay. Choose Keep it as it is, Make it my own rule (it becomes your own rule with the same content and history, which you can then change) or Switch it off.
What happens next
- Your dashboard shows N updates to review, leaving out anything you put off with Later.
- Every admin gets at most one email a week (“N compliance profile updates to review”) listing each new update with what changed and a link. An update is emailed once; updates you adopted, ignored or put off aren't sent. Email only.
- Updates to a peak body's shared pack are listed here too; they're emailed when the peak body publishes them.
- After adopting a stricter version, existing evidence that lacks something the new version asks for shows as details missing.
