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

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

1. Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the Amazon Config console at [https://console.amazonaws.cn/config/home](https://console.amazonaws.cn/config/home).

1. Navigate to the Amazon 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 (Amazon CLI) ]

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

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

If necessary, type `Amazon Configure` to configure the Amazon CLI to use an Amazon Region where Amazon 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.amazonaws.cn/config/latest/APIReference/API_PutExternalEvaluation.html).
