Open the approved policy update source
Use the text you already trust as the baseline in the Original column.

Check policy update export against the source text
An export is the moment when text often becomes harder to inspect but more expensive to get wrong. Foldly extracts the export text, lines it up against the approved source, and gives you a faster way to confirm that the wording still matches.

How to do it in Foldly
2
Load the exported or returned file
Open the PDF or DOCX version beside it so Foldly can compare the extracted text.
3
Check high-risk sections first
Policy summaries can drift from the approved requirement language.
4
Fix drift before the file goes out
If the wording changed in a way that matters, update the source or regenerate the export before distribution.
Inspect these first
- Check summaries, requirement language, and exceptions first.
- Look carefully at rewritten bullet lists or shortened sections.
- Policy summaries can drift from the approved requirement language.
- Inspect changed headings, summaries, and closing lines before lower-risk body copy.
Comparison setup
This is the practical shape of the workflow before you start reviewing changed lines.
Approved policy update source
Starts as: Plain text, markdown, or the trusted working draft
Reviewed as: Editable Original column
Best for: Anchoring the review to wording the team has already approved.
Watch for: Late edits that were never reviewed in the source file.
Exported or returned file
Starts as: plain text, docx text extraction, pdf text extraction
Reviewed as: Extracted text in a comparison column
Best for: Finding wording drift before the final version is shared.
Watch for: Layout, comments, and image-only content are outside this text check.
Why policy update exports need verification
Policy updates are sensitive because even small wording changes can weaken a rule, exception, or requirement.
- Check summaries, requirement language, and exceptions first.
- Look carefully at rewritten bullet lists or shortened sections.
What teams usually do instead
Teams often compare policy revisions by memory or comments, which is risky when exact wording matters.
Why Foldly is better for policy update export checks
Foldly gives policy owners a text-level verification pass before the updated policy is circulated.
What good looks like
- The exported policy update matches the approved source where wording matters.
- Any drift is corrected before the final file is shared.
- A separate visual proof is used if layout, formatting, or design fidelity also matters.
Example scenario
Policy release check
An operations lead compares the approved policy update against the final distributed PDF.
Outcome: They catch a softened requirement in the summary section and correct the document before it is shared internally.
Limits and caveats
- Foldly compares extracted text, not the visual layout or formatting of the exported file.
- Policy summaries can drift from the approved requirement language.

FAQ
Why is policy update export verification a separate page?
Policy updates have a stricter review threshold than general content, which makes exported-text verification a strong standalone task.
Should this replace a visual proof?
No. This workflow is for wording-level drift. If layout also matters, run a separate visual proof after the text check.
