1. To view file policy matches, files that are suspected to violate the policy, go to **Policies** -> **Policy management**. Filter the results to display only the file policies using the **Type** filter at the top. For more information about the matches for each policy, under the **Count** column, select the number of **matches** for a policy. Alternatively, select the three dots at the end of the row for a policy and choose **View all matches**. This opens the **File policy report**. Select the **Matching now** tab to see files that currently match the policy. Select the **History** tab to see a history back to up to six months of files that matched the policy.
