# Perform Compliance Check in Web Viewer

The Compliance Check tool in the Web Viewer allows you to validate artwork elements against predefined compliance profiles. It highlights whether required elements are present in the artwork and shows compliance results based on the configured validation rules.

1.  Sign in to your [ManageArtworks](https://app.manageartworks.com/karomi/global/build/login) account.
2.  Open the required artwork file in the Web Viewer.  
    **Note:** Ensure that **Copy** property is enabled for the selected asset/file type.
3.  Select the **Compliance Check** tool from the toolbar.
