An acknowledgement request showing confirmed and pending document confirmations An acknowledgement request showing confirmed and pending document confirmations An acknowledgement records that a person read and confirmed a document. It is not a signature on a contract. The Acknowledgements guides own the detail; this page shows where the feature meets your documents.

Start from a document

Open the document’s menu and choose Request acknowledgement. The request form opens with that document selected; add more documents, choose the audience and set the deadline. You need Full access to every document in the request.

Check one person

Open People → person → Acknowledgements to see that person’s pending and confirmed items, with history and signed files where they exist. You need workspace-wide acknowledgement read access, or acknowledgement access for a direct report. Each person sees their own list under My profile → Acknowledgements.

Confirm by e-signature

E-signature asks the person to sign instead of typing their name. It needs contracts (qualified e-signing) enabled for your workspace, and each signature uses one of your plan’s monthly e-signatures (Buying e-signature credits).
