Clear answers for the way AcknowledgePoint works.
Learn how workspaces, controlled documents, assignments, acknowledgements, dashboards, billing, and role-based access fit together.
Getting Started
Company signup, email verification, and the Foundation plan.
What is AcknowledgePoint?
AcknowledgePoint is a controlled-document acknowledgement platform. Teams use it to create policies, SOPs, procedures, work instructions, handbooks, notices, training materials, and other employee-facing documents, then assign those documents and track acknowledgements.
Who should sign up a new company?
The best person to sign up is usually the HR leader, compliance owner, safety manager, operations leader, or business owner responsible for company document administration. People joining an existing company should ask their company administrator for an invitation.
What happens after I submit the signup form?
Complete Cloudflare bot verification to have your new company automatically approved on the Foundation plan. An email invitation lets the first administrator verify their email and finish setting up access. Platform Admin approval is not required.
Do I need a credit card for the Foundation plan?
No. The Foundation plan is designed as the starting point for new organizations. Teams can begin with the included capacity, then upgrade or add capacity when they are ready to expand.
What should I set up first?
Start with departments, locations, categories, and document types. Those records make employee organization, assignment targeting, dashboard filtering, and acknowledgement reporting easier to understand.
Documents and Templates
Document types, drafts, publishing, templates, categories, owners, and word limits.
What document types can I manage?
AcknowledgePoint supports policies, standard operating procedures, procedures, work instructions, safety procedures, handbooks, notices, standards, guidelines, training materials, emergency plans, compliance attestations, and other controlled documents.
Can I create and edit documents inside AcknowledgePoint?
Yes. Company Admins can create document content directly in AcknowledgePoint, choose a document type and category, assign an owner, save drafts, publish approved documents, and move published documents back to draft when edits are needed.
How do templates work?
Templates are reusable starting points. Admins can select a template, copy it into a new document, choose the right type and category, and edit the language so it matches the company's actual process.
What is the difference between Draft and Published?
Draft documents are still being prepared and cannot be assigned. Published documents are approved for use and can be selected in the assignment workflow.
Is there a document length limit?
Yes. Document editors show a live word count, warn when content becomes long, and prevent saving or publishing content above the configured maximum. Existing historical documents remain readable.
Users and Organization
Employees, admins, departments, locations, invitations, and access.
How are employees added?
Company Admins add employees from the Employees page. Employee records can include department, location, status, acknowledgement status, and invitation actions.
Can invitations be resent?
Yes. Employee and Admin Account grids include resend actions so admins can send another invitation when someone has not completed access setup.
Why should I use departments and locations?
Departments and locations make targeting easier. For example, a warehouse safety procedure can be assigned only to warehouse employees, while an HR handbook can be assigned across the whole company.
Do Company Admins also count as users?
Yes. Administrators count against the administrator allowance and the active employee allowance because they can also receive and acknowledge assigned documents.
Can admins be assigned to departments and locations?
Yes. Admin accounts can be tracked with department and location context so acknowledgement reporting and assignment targeting remain consistent with employee records.
Assignments
Selecting documents, choosing audiences, avoiding duplicates, and resending notifications.
How do I assign a document?
Open Assignments, select a published document, choose the audience, review the recipient list, set the due date, and assign the document. Only published documents should be available for assignment.
Can I assign by department, location, or individual employee?
Yes. The assignment workflow can filter by document type, category, department, location, document, employee search, and status so the right audience can be selected.
How do I avoid assigning the same document twice?
The recipient list shows whether a user is already assigned the selected document. Admins can use the Exclude Users Already Assigned option to keep duplicate assignments out of the next batch.
Can assignment notifications be resent?
Yes. Current Assignments include a resend action so a Company Admin can retransmit an assignment notification when an employee needs another reminder.
What does assignment status mean?
Assignment status reflects whether the assigned user has acknowledged the assigned document version, is still pending, or is overdue based on the due date.
Employee Experience
My Documents, document review, acknowledgements, and historical reference.
What does an employee see after signing in?
Employees see their assigned documents, due dates, status, category, document type, and available actions. They can select a document, review the assigned version, and acknowledge it.
Can employees use AcknowledgePoint as a document reference?
Yes. The employee workspace is designed to show assigned and historical documents so employees can reference the documents they have been asked to read.
What happens when an employee acknowledges a document?
AcknowledgePoint records the acknowledgement against the assigned document and user so Company Admins can review it in acknowledgement details and reporting.
Can Company Admins acknowledge documents too?
Yes. Company Admins can be assigned documents and acknowledge them. Their acknowledgements are included alongside employee acknowledgement records.
What should I do if a document is missing from My Documents?
Ask a Company Admin to confirm the assignment, document status, user record, department, location, and whether the employee is viewing the correct workspace.
Reporting and Compliance
Dashboards, highest-risk documents, upcoming reviews, evidence, and exports.
Where do Company Admins review compliance?
Company Admins use the dashboard, Document Performance, Highest Risk Documents, Upcoming Reviews, Current Assignments, and Ack Details to understand acknowledgement readiness.
Can the dashboard be filtered?
Yes. Compliance Overview can be filtered by category, document type, and document so admins can focus on the exact document set they need to review.
What are Highest Risk Documents?
Highest Risk Documents are documents with the most overdue acknowledgements. This helps admins focus on the items that need attention first.
What are Upcoming Reviews?
Upcoming Reviews group upcoming assignments by date and document so admins can see what is coming due without scanning individual employee names.
Can acknowledgement records be downloaded?
Yes. Company Admins can download professional PDF acknowledgement history for a user, including the documents that user has acknowledged.
Billing and Capacity
Plans, included limits, overages, Paddle subscription management, and taxes.
What plans are available?
AcknowledgePoint offers Foundation, Essentials, Team, Professional, Advanced, Premier, and Enterprise plans. Plans include limits for employees, administrators, active documents, departments, locations, and categories.
How are overages handled?
When a company exceeds included capacity, AcknowledgePoint displays the additional usage and subscription impact for supported resources such as administrators, employees, active documents, departments, locations, and categories.
Who manages payment and subscription checkout?
AcknowledgePoint uses Paddle for subscription checkout, customer portal access, transaction state, and payment processing.
Does Paddle calculate sales tax?
Yes. Paddle calculates applicable taxes during checkout and subscription updates based on the billing information entered in Paddle.
Where can Company Admins review billing?
Company Admins can use the Billing or Subscription areas to review plan, usage, current charges, Paddle subscription state, payment status, and available customer-portal actions.
Security and Access
Company Admins, Employees, Clerk sign-in, role boundaries, and support access.
How does role-based access work?
AcknowledgePoint separates company management from employee document review. Company Admins manage their company workspace, while Employees can access only their own assigned documents and acknowledgement workflow.
What can a Company Admin manage?
Company Admins manage their own workspace: employees, admin accounts, departments, locations, categories, templates, documents, assignments, acknowledgement details, billing, and company-level reporting.
What can Employees access?
Employees can access their own assigned documents and acknowledgement workflow. They do not manage company settings, billing, templates, assignments, or other users.
How is public contact support protected?
The public Contact Support page uses Cloudflare Turnstile and server-side verification before accepting submissions. Support delivery routes messages through approved server-side destinations.
Who can contact support?
Public visitors can use the Contact Support page for pre-sales, billing, privacy, security, or general questions. Authenticated users can also use support workflows available inside the application.
Use the Help Center for guided workflow support.
The Help Center explains common workflows for Company Admins and Employees. For a specific question, use Contact Support or sign in to continue working inside your workspace.
