## 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](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CRCCL/pages/655756829). 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
  
- 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

:blue_star:  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**.

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

:yellow_star:  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.
