An acknowledgement asks you to confirm that you have read and understood a document. Open **My profile → Acknowledgements**, or follow the notification sent to you. On your phone, find **My profile** under **More**.

<BetaCallout>
  Acknowledgements are rolling out gradually. If you are expecting a request and the tab is missing,
  ask your manager to check that the feature is available for your workspace.

## Read and confirm

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open a pending document">
    Check its due date, then select its name. A pack can contain several documents, each needing
    confirmation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read to the end">
    Read the whole document, scrolling inside its preview when needed. The confirmation control asks
    you to read to the end before continuing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete the requested confirmation">
    For a typed-name request, enter your full name and choose **I have read and understood this
    document**. If the request needs an e-signature, follow the signing prompts instead.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check it was recorded">
    The document shows your confirmation and date. Return to **Acknowledgements** to find anything
    still pending, or use the next-document link when offered.
  </Step>
</Steps>

An overdue item still needs your attention. Opening it, marking its notification read or reacting to a message does not record the acknowledgement. Ask your manager if you cannot open the document or do not understand what it asks you to confirm.

## Check earlier confirmations

Your list includes confirmed items and their history. A confirmation made by e-signature can also provide a signed file to download.

You may be asked again after a document changes or a renewal becomes due. Read the current document before confirming again. A notice that the document changed can mean a new confirmation is still being prepared.

## When several requests name the same document

One confirmation can cover multiple pending requests for that document. The confirmation area tells you when this applies. Different documents in a pack still need separate confirmations.

An acknowledgement, including one made by e-signature, is separate from an employment-contract signing request.

The personal list reads the signed-in member’s pending and resolved assignments, not the manager dashboard. Current duplicate assignments for one document are consolidated for confirmation. Document changes and renewals preserve earlier confirmation history. A stale assignment cannot be confirmed until refreshed by the request lifecycle. The full-name entry is required but the typed-name UI does not claim to verify legal identity.
