Adding a read confirmation

A read confirmation can be a:

Standalone read confirmation for pages or blog posts (where no workflow has been added).
Workflow read confirmation added to a workflow

A standalone Read Confirmation cannot be added to content with an active workflow.

If a workflow is added to content, any existing standalone read confirmation will be overridden. If the workflow is subsequently removed, the previous standalone read confirmation will become active.

Standalone read confirmation

A standalone Read Confirmation is added using the page action menu.

The read confirmation status (double-tick) icon is added to the page.

The read confirmation breadcrumb is also displayed in the page footer. This is contextualized to the current progress of the read confirmation and the current user.

Workflow read confirmation

A read confirmation can be enabled in a workflow using the workflow builder (or markup editor).

When active, a read confirmation is added on the transition to the workflow's’s final state.

The workflow default option adds a read confirmation every time the workflow enters the final state during an approval transition.

The read confirmation can be configured in the workflow builder

You can

Pre-assign users and groups as readers
Add a due date
Allow users to edit the due date
Allow a reviewer to decide if the read confirmation is added on transitioning to the workflow final state

If enabled, the double-tick read confirmation status icon is displayed on the page in the final state of the workflow after an approval transition.

When a previously published page is updated at any point, any assigned user read confirmations will reset set once the page re-enters the final state in the workflow.

Requesting user read confirmation

In a standalone read confirmation, users can be requested to undertake read confirmation by page editors using the read confirmation dialog box.

Users assigned to read confirmations are readers. Readers can be added and removed in the dialog box.

Read confirmation status is PENDING if no readers have been assigned or any assigned reader has not confirmed.
