Document acknowledgment lets you mark a file as requiring confirmation. The people assigned to the event must confirm they have read it before the job starts.
Use it for safety briefings, site access instructions, scope documents, or any file your team or vendors need to read.

Tracking acknowledgements
Hover over the People column on the file row to see who has acknowledged and who has not. Each entry shows the person's name and the date and time they confirmed.
Vendors can also acknowledge documents from the mobile app. See Documents your vendors need to acknowledge for the vendor-side experience.
