+[Compliance frameworks](#compliance-frameworks) allow group owners to specify the location of
+compliance pipeline configuration stored and managed in dedicated projects, separate from regular

-When you set up the compliance pipeline configuration field, use the
-`file@group/project` format. For example, you can configure
-`.compliance-gitlab-ci.yml@compliance-group/compliance-project`.
-This field is inherited by projects where the compliance framework label is applied. The result
-forces the project to run the compliance configurations.
+When you set up the compliance framework, use the **Compliance pipeline configuration** box to link
+the compliance framework to specific CI/CD configuration. Use the
+`path/file.y[a]ml@group-name/project-name` format. For example:
 
-When a project with a custom label executes a pipeline, it begins by evaluating the compliance pipeline configuration.
-The custom pipeline configuration can then execute any included individual project configuration.
+- `.compliance-ci.yml@gitlab-org/gitlab`.
+- `.compliance-ci.yaml@gitlab-org/gitlab`.
 
-The user running the pipeline in the project should at least have Reporter access to the compliance project.
+This configuration is inherited by projects where the compliance framework label is applied. The
+result forces projects with the label to run the compliance CI/CD configuration in addition to
+the project's own CI/CD configuration. When a project with a compliance framework label executes a
+pipeline, it evaluates configuration in the following order:
 
-Example `.compliance-gitlab-ci.yml`
+1. Compliance pipeline configuration.
