# 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. Each framework
comes with its requirements already configured.

## Available frameworks

## How to activate

**1. 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.

![Framework overview](https://mintcdn.com/openlayer-44/hqy5ZRaiSZXnkZzZ/images/governance/framework_overview.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=hqy5ZRaiSZXnkZzZ\&q=85\&s=cf091bfc2e9fba4d50085640e9d469ba)

**2. Choose current projects**

Click **Activate**, then choose the existing projects that should follow the framework.
Your choices are pinned: changing a selected project's properties later does not remove
the framework from it.

**3. Optionally include future projects**

Turn on **Apply to future projects with** to automatically apply the framework to new
projects by risk level, task type, or tags.

These criteria apply only to projects created after you save the activation. An existing
project you leave unselected stays out, even if it matches now or later. With the switch
off, only the projects you picked are covered; Openlayer keeps the criteria but does not
apply them.

Openlayer preserves criteria configured through the API that this form cannot display
and shows them as **+N advanced criteria**.

**4. Optionally create framework tests**

Turn on **Automatic framework test creation** to create the tests required by the
framework's test-setup rules. Review the tests and clear any you do not want Openlayer
to create. At least one test must remain selected.

The review identifies rules that still require manual setup, such as tests that need a
column, parameters, or a reference dataset. Drift tests are always created manually.
It also identifies tests that run LLM judges; these use each project's configured judge
and contribute to its LLM-as-a-judge costs.

**5. Apply the framework**

Each covered project receives a compliance checklist in its **Governance mode**. If
automatic test creation is on, Openlayer creates missing selected tests in the current
projects and in matching projects that join later. Tests that already exist are not
duplicated.

Development tests use manual thresholds. Monitoring tests use automatic thresholds
over a one-day window. A plan limit can prevent an individual test from being created
without stopping the other eligible tests.

## Change an activation

On an active framework, open the options menu (⋯) and select **Edit activation**. You can
change the current project picks, future-project criteria, and automatic test creation.
Turning automatic test creation on creates missing selected tests in every project the
framework currently covers.
