Assign a reader to a read confirmation

Overview

One or more users and Confluence user groups can be assigned by an author or editor as readers for a read confirmation.

A user can be assigned as a reader using the read confirmation popup. Once a reader is assigned, all the assigned readers must confirm reading the content for the overall read confirmation to be confirmed. 

Any user with view permission for the content can undertake a read confirmation without being first assigned as a reader.

Add a reader

On a page with a read confirmation added

• choose the Assign button
  
  

   

If the read confirmation has readers who have previously confirmed, choose the See who button.

• in the read confirmation popup search for the user or user group to be assigned as a reader
  
  

  Open

  

  
  
  

• select the required user or user group
  
  

   

• choose the + (plus) icon to add the selected user or user group as readers
  
  

If a Confluence user group is selected all members of the group are added as individual readers. If required choose the + (plus) icon to add more readers.

Close the read confirmation popup to view the read confirmation on the page

• the Read confirmation PENDING status lozenge is added to the page byline and read confirmation bar

Users assigned as readers

Once a reader is assigned

• the overall read confirmation will not be CONFIRMED until ALL assigned readers have undertaken the read confirmation request

If an edit occurs on content with a read confirmation any user who undertook the read confirmation prior to the edit will need to re-confirm the read confirmation and the overall read confirmation will change to PENDING.

Adding a new reader to a CONFIRMED read confirmation will change the overall read confirmation status to PARTIAL.

Unassigning a user who has already confirmed will change the overall read confirmation status depending on the read request progress for the remaining assigned readers. However, the popup will still display the confirmed read undertaken by the unassigned reader.
