Confirm an SOP

An SOP here is a Confluence page that tells someone how to do a job. The acknowledgment is the Read and Understood click on that page’s version — not a comment, and not a meeting attendance list.

Step 1: Open the SOP page

  1. Open the space in the left sidebar.

  2. Click the SOP in the page tree (or use Confluence search).

You should see: The SOP title and the procedure text.

Step 2: Put a Signature Box at the end of the text

People should finish the procedure, then confirm. That is how teams use the box on long pages and internal newsletters.

  1. Click Edit (pencil, top right).

  2. Click at the bottom of the page body, after the last step.

  3. Type /, then qc, then choose QC R&U - Signature Box.

  4. Click Publish.

You should see: Read and Understood under the SOP, not only in the title row.

The byline QC - R&U can stay as well. If you need a reading-time wait, that wait exists on the Signature Box only. Details: Sign from the Signature Box.

Step 3: Assign the people who must follow this SOP

  1. On the same page, click ••• → Apps → QC R&U - Page Overview.

  2. On Users, add a group for that role (for example operators), then Sync Groups.

Steps: Add a group and Sync Groups.

For many SOPs that share a label such as sop, use Acknowledgements instead of visiting each page.

Step 4: Users confirm the SOP

  1. They open the SOP.

  2. They read it.

  3. They click Read and Understood on the Signature Box (or the byline).

You should see: In Page Overview, their status Accepted with a version.

If the SOP uses Page properties for a document number, set that version strategy so the record matches the number on the SOP, not only Confluence’s v.12.
