Create a Read Request

Create read requests and manage read confirmations on your multi-page Confluence documents.

When you create a new read request, a notification is sent to your readers that they should read a specific version of a document. You can track their confirmations to ensure everyone has reviewed it.

You need Confluence space administrator permissions to create read requests:

  • From the version history table in the Document Manager, open the ••• menu of a version and click Create read request:

  • The Create Read Request dialog displays:

  • Enter a title for your request. Use this field to specify the context of the request for your readers.

  • Optionally, add a message and set a deadline.

  • Click Next.

  • Add the readers you want to notify. Reader can be individual users or a group of users.
