- Send it.
Everyone who reads it sees I acknowledge below the post.
Acknowledge a post
Department manager Member Guest When a post asks for acknowledgement, read it and select I acknowledge. You then see ✓ You acknowledged.
See who has acknowledged
The sender, Owners, Company admins and HR see Receipts with the number of confirmations below the post. Select it to see:
- how many people confirmed, for example 12 of 15 confirmed,
- Still pending: who has not confirmed yet,
- Confirmed: who confirmed and when.
Receipts record who confirmed and when. The announcement text itself stays encrypted.
Announcements notify people under Mentions in their notification settings, so they reach people even when other messages are quiet.
