-GitLab 13.9 introduces custom compliance frameworks at the group-level. A group owner can create a compliance framework label
-and assign it to any number of projects within that group or subgroups. When this feature is enabled, projects can only
-be assigned compliance framework labels that already exist within that group.
+You can create a framework label to identify that your project has certain compliance requirements or needs additional oversight.
 
-If existing [Compliance frameworks](#compliance-framework) are not sufficient, project and group owners
-can now create their own.
+Group owners can create, edit and delete compliance frameworks by going to **Settings** > **General** and expanding the **Compliance frameworks** section.
+Compliance frameworks created can then be assigned to any number of projects via the project settings page inside the group or subgroups. 
 
-New compliance framework labels can be created and updated using GraphQL.
+NOTE:
+Attempting to create compliance frameworks on subgroups via GraphQL will cause the framework to be created on the root ancestor if the user has the correct permissions.
+The web UI presents a read-only view to discourage this behavior.
