Where everything lives in Confluence

QC Read & Understood does not live in one menu. It appears in seven Confluence places. Opening the wrong place is usually why you can’t find a control and think it’s missing.

QC R&U - Space Overview opens, and you see the “Overview” and “Acknowledgements” tabs. A “Space settings” button is also there to take you to the app’s space configuration.

Use this R&U table to:

  • See progress for the space (Overview)

  • Create acknowledgement lists (Acknowledgements)

You will not find version strategy, OTP, or the Sync button here.

QC R&U - Space Settings opens,s and you see the “Settings”, “Analytics”, and “History” tabs.

This is where a space admin turns the app on, chooses how versions work, and runs manual user synchronization.

If another app already owns the version

Read & Understood stores who confirmed which version. If QC Approvals, QC Documents, AppFox Workflows, or Comala Publishing already decide that version, you must tell R&U to follow it. Otherwise people confirm a draft, or the byline shows no version.
