# Create a banner and change confirmation policy

Define a policy that allows you to display a custom banner with your chosen text and color across a specified group of environments, helping users clearly distinguish between them.

This policy also lets you configure a confirmation prompt that appears whenever a user applies a change to those environments, adding an extra layer of protection for sensitive workloads.

To create a banner and change confirmation policy, in the menu, under **Environment-related**, select **Policies** then select **Create policy**. From the policy type list, navigate to the **All (Kubernetes, Docker, Podman and Swarm)** > **Banner and change confirmation** section, select either a predefined template or the **Custom** policy, then select **Continue** to begin configuring the policy.
