# View and acknowledge documents

Available in:

**HR Essentials**

**HR Advanced**

Company documents relate to your organisation rather than an individual. They can be shared amongst the whole company or at a team level. This article explains how you can view these documents, and where required, acknowledge you have read them.

### View a document

From the side menu, select Company **Docs**.

The Company Docs page will show details depending on your role.

**HR managers**

HR Managers have access to all Company Documents & Company Document Types, as well as the Acknowledgement and Read counts of documents.

You can switch between a list or grid view and choose which columns are visible by clicking the **Options** menu.

Click any document to view it. Within the document viewer, you can:

- View more information about the document, including when and who created it.
- **Download** the document
- **Open** it in a new browser tab.

### Acknowledge a document

When you are required to acknowledge a Company Doc, you will:

- Receive an email
- Receive a notification in the My Actions section of the Dashboard.

From the side menu, select Company **Docs**. When acknowledging a company doc, you can:

1. Acknowledge
2. Acknowledge with Comment
3. Submit Comment (do not acknowledge)

If a comment has been submitted, this can be seen on the acknowledgement status tab. A blue speech bubble will show next to the document preview to show it has comments.
