Dismissing Announcements and Read Receipts (Confluence)
On this page:
Dismiss Announcements
Confluence users will be presented with Announcement banners or dialogs on any page they visit.
Each announcement has a "dismiss" button. This allows the user to acknowledge an announcement and clicking this button will mark it as read. Behind the scenes, we note the fact that this user marked an announcement as read, and in the future, don't show this same announcement anymore.
It is possible for users to hit the Escape key on their keyboard to exit out of an announcement. This, however, does not mark the announcement as read, and the user will be presented with the same announcement again when the next screen loads.
note:
Users can always view active announcements from the Dashboard gadget, even if they have already marked them as read.
Reading Receipts
You can view read receipts for an announcement by opening that announcement from the Manage Announcement screen. From there, click on an announcement and scroll down to the Scheduling section.
If the announcement has been viewed by users, it will appear below the start and date fields. And, you’ll be able to see when and which user has viewed or accepted the announcement.
