What is Read and Sign?

Read and Sign is a compliance feature that ensures employees have read and acknowledged important documents or changes — such as updated procedures, safety bulletins, or company policies. This feature is especially important in regulated environments like aviation, where staff must demonstrate awareness of critical updates.

Web Manuals includes a built-in Read and Sign function that tracks acknowledgments in real time, making it easy for managers to follow up on compliance and for organizations to provide audit evidence. It enhances accountability while reducing the administrative burden of manual tracking.
