Any due date is displayed in the read confirmation dialog box. Only assigned readers see the due date displayed in the read confirmation popup.

Page editors and administrators can add a due date to read confirmation but unless they are a reader they may not see the due date added to the read confirmation dialog box. Users assigned as a reader are able to view the due date for any pending read confirmation in their personal read assignments.

If the read confirmation due date passes without all the requested read confirmations being completed, the read confirmation dialog box displays an **OVERDUE** status lozenge.

The read confirmation status icon on the page is displayed in red to indicate the due date has expired.

Once all readers have confirmed the read confirmation, the due date icon is not displayed until a new read confirmation is added to the content.

## Resending read confirmations and due date

[Resending read confirmations](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDALS/pages/649560487) using the read confirmation dialog menu removes any existing due date. 

A new read confirmation request by a reviewer whilst making an Approve decision removes any previous due date.

In both cases, a new due date needs to be added using the read confirmation dialog box.
