Acknowledgements overview

An acknowledgement records that somebody read and understood a document. You choose the documents, the audience, the deadline and how each person confirms. Begin then keeps one live view of the response.

What you can see

Open Acknowledgements in the sidebar. Begin chooses the scope from your role; there is no scope switch.

• A manager sees requests involving their direct reports. Every progress figure is narrowed to those people.
• An administrator, owner or role with workspace-wide acknowledgement access sees the whole workspace.
• A person who only needs to respond finds their pending items under My profile → Acknowledgements and confirms each one on the document.

The table shows the request, attestation method, due date, renewal, progress and status. Use search or the Outstanding, Overdue, Completed and Renewing soon filters to narrow it.

​

Read and confirm is not contract signing

The standard attestation is Typed name. A person reads to the end, types their full name and selects I have read and understood this document. If contracts are enabled for your workspace, E-signature can record the same acknowledgement with a qualified signature; each one uses one of your plan’s monthly e-signatures. Neither method creates or sends a contract. Contract signing is a separate workflow with its own parties and signing state. A post’s seen count also differs: it records a view, without an explicit confirmation.
