# Manage Paid Search Monitoring Policies
Take the PXA course
Once you've created a policy, it will appear on the *Policy* screen. From here, you can find policies using the search or filter bar. You can edit or deactivate active policies, and reactivate or delete policies no longer in use.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Inactive policies count toward your keyword limit. To remove these keywords from your limit, you must delete the inactive policy.
{% endhint %}
1. From the left navigation menu, select  **\[Protect] → Monitoring → Policies**.
2. Find the specific policy you want to change.
* Optionally, use the filters at the top of the page to narrow down your searches.
