# Frequently Asked Actions

This section answers common questions about working with controls in Sprinto, including creating new controls, mapping checks, and managing frameworks.

**1. What is a control in Sprinto?**

A control is a specific measure or safeguard that addresses a compliance, security, or operational requirement. Controls can be linked to monitoring checks and mapped to compliance frameworks and criteria.

**2. Can I create custom controls?**

Yes. You can create controls manually by providing details such as control number, name, description, owner, and domain, or add multiple controls in bulk using the CSV template.

**3. What is the difference between adding a single control and adding controls in bulk?**

Adding a single control allows you to create and configure one control at a time. Bulk import enables you to upload multiple controls at once using a pre-formatted CSV file.

**4. Can I edit a control after it is created?**

Yes. You can edit the control’s details at any time, including its number, name, description, owner, and domain.

**5. What happens when I disable a control?**

Disabling a control removes it from active compliance monitoring. It is moved to the **Disabled** tab and its linked checks are also deactivated.

**6. Can I map multiple checks to a control?**

Yes. You can map multiple automated and workflow checks to a control from the **Monitoring** section. You can also unmap checks that are no longer relevant.

**7. How do I manage frameworks linked to a control?**

From the control’s details view, scroll to the **Mapped Frameworks** section to add or remove frameworks. You can also map specific framework criteria to the control.

**8. Is it possible to delete a control?**

Control deletion is not a standard action in Sprinto. You can disable a control to remove it from active use while keeping its history for audit purposes.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sprinto.com/compliance/controls/frequently-asked-actions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
