Overview

A workflow read confirmation can be enabled/disabled for the final state of a workflow using workflow builder.
In workflow builder the workflow Read Confirmation can edited to:
automatically assign users to undertake the read confirmation
set a due date for the read confirmation
allow users to edit the read confirmation due date
allow the reviewer to decide if workflow assigned read confirmation users (readers) are automatically assigned
Readers can be added and edited using the read confirmation popup when the content is in the final state.
