Everyone will not have access to the policies, so I won't be able to save all the policies in one library.
But from your reply, I gather that you don't think a library (to which only the compliance officer has access) with all the work/editable policies files - where she then distributes a copy of the latest final versions to the various departments - is the right way to go.
Seems like "add to Onedrive" will be rolled out to all by the end of September. From what I've seen it will apply to folders but not individual files.
Since it is not yet available on my tenant, I guess I'll add a Policies document to sites where applicable. She can then sync those libraries or else maybe tag the docs in a way that they are easy for her to search.
