<a name="change-compliance-status"></a>

You can change the compliance status of a process check using the AWS Config console, the AWS CLI, and APIs.

------
#### [ Change Compliance Status for Process Checks (Console) ]

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Config console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/config/home](https://console.aws.amazon.com/config/home).

1. Navigate to the AWS Config Rules page.

1. Choose the name of the process check that you specified in the template along with the identifier in the conformance pack. 
**Note**  
All the process checks from the same conformance pack have the same suffix.

1. On the Rule details page, you cannot edit the rule but you can edit the compliance of the rule. In the Manual compliance section, choose **Edit compliance**.

1. Choose the appropriate compliance from the dropdown list.

1. (Optional) Enter a description for the compliance status.

1. Choose **Save**.

------
#### [ Change the Compliance Status for Process Checks (AWS CLI) ]

You can update the compliance of process checks within a conformance pack using the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). 

To install the AWS CLI on your local machine, see [Installing the AWS CLI](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/installing.html) in the *AWS CLI User Guide*.

If necessary, type `AWS Configure` to configure the AWS CLI to use an AWS Region where AWS Config conformance packs are available.

1. Open a command prompt or a terminal window.

1. Enter the following command to update the compliance of a process check where `ComplianceResourceId` is your `Account ID`, and include the name of your rule.

   ```
   aws configservice put-external-evaluation --config-rule-name process-check-rule-name  --external-evaluation ComplianceResourceType=AWS::::Account,ComplianceResourceId=Account ID,ComplianceType=NON_COMPLIANT,OrderingTimestamp=2020-12-17T00:10:00.000Z
   ```

1. Press Enter to run the command.

#### [ Change the Compliance Status for Process Checks (API) ]

After the deployment is complete, to update the evaluations and compliance of the process checks, use the `PutExternalEvaluation` API. For more information, see [PutExternalEvaluation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_PutExternalEvaluation.html).
