First success: one space, one page, one signature

Do this before you create groups, acknowledgements, or version strategies. If the instructions here don’t work, stop and use https://support.qc-analytics.com/qc-read-and-understood-for-confluence-cloud/troubleshooting.

Step 1: Open the space

In the Confluence left sidebar:

  1. Open the Spaces menu,

  2. Find the space you’ll use QC R&U and click its name (the area where your pages live).

Your space opens, and you can see its pages in the left sidebar, under the menu “Content”.

Step 2: Turn the app on for the space

When turning on/off this switch, the app automatically saves the changes, so you don’t need to click “Update”.

Step 3: Open one page

  1. In the space sidebar, click a page your colleague is allowed to open

  2. Look near the title for QC - R&U

If QC - R&U is missing, the space may still be off, or the page may override the byline. See https://support.qc-analytics.com/qc-read-and-understood-for-confluence-cloud/i-cannot-find-the-qc-r-u-button.

Step 4: Assign your colleague

  1. On that page, click ••• (top right, More actions).

  2. Open the Apps menu and click QC R&U - Page Overview.

  3. Navigate to the Users tab.

  4. Click the Add Users button. A panel titled “Add Users & Groups” opens.

  5. Type your colleague’s name and select them.

  6. You can tick Notify users via email about their pending R&U if you want them to get an email.

  7. Click Add Users & Groups.

Once the user is added, you should see their name in the table, with status Pending .

If the app cannot find them in the Add Users menu, they may lack view permission on the space. Give them access in Space settings → Users (Confluence), then try again.

Step 5: Your colleague confirms the page

Ask your colleague to:

  1. Open the same page.

  2. Click QC - R&U in the byline.

  3. Click Read and Understood.

QC R&U - Byline before user confirmation.

They should see: A message that they have read and understood this version. The message will also show the version number they R&U.

If you want, you can confirm that it worked by going to QC R&U - Page Overview → Users → and check if the user’s status says Accepted .
