# 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.
