An acknowledgement progress card with 48 confirmed and 12 pending An acknowledgement progress card with 48 confirmed and 12 pending The Acknowledgements overview updates as people respond. Its progress is always scoped to the people your role can see, so a manager and administrator can open the same request and see different counts. Acknowledgements must be enabled for your workspace and your role needs access (Acknowledgements overview).

Find the request

Search by request or document name. You can also filter the overview: Completion is derived from the current audience. A completed request can become outstanding again when somebody joins its audience, a renewal starts or a document changes.

Inspect the evidence

Open the request to see its audience, due date and progress for each document. Select a document row to open its people list. Each person is Pending, Overdue or Confirmed, with the applicable due or confirmation date. An acknowledgement request showing audience, deadline and progress for a document pack An acknowledgement request showing audience, deadline and progress for a document pack Open a confirmed person’s history to see earlier confirmations and why they were asked again. A signed acknowledgement also offers its signed file for download. The document link opens the exact document the person was asked to read. A document deleted after sending shows a placeholder name, and its pending people stay pending.

Check one person

Open People → person → Acknowledgements to see that person’s pending and confirmed items across every request, with history and signed files where they exist. You need workspace-wide acknowledgement read access, or acknowledgement access for a direct report. When two requests ask for the same document, one confirmation satisfies both. The person sees how many pending items it covers before they confirm.
