2. Link to open document in SharePoint in a new browser tab
3. Date by which acknowledgement is required
4. Open Reading and Acknowledgement pane, see below:
1. Confirmation of reading document (optional). Users can be required, like with Terms of Service on many websites, to check a box to confirm that have fully read the document before being allowed to click the Acknowledge buttons.
2. Acknowledge reading. Users are presented with two Acknowledge Options, the Green button allows them to acknowledge without comments, however the Red button (optional) requires the comments to be filled in. It is possible to remove the Red button feature of not required, but is useful way to provide editorial feedback.
