# Documents: School Document Library with Staff Read Confirmation

> The Documents module provides a central library for school policies and guidance, with the ability to require staff to confirm they have read and understood key documents.

Every school maintains a library of policies, handbooks, and guidance documents. The Documents module gives you a central, organised repository where staff can easily find what they need — and where you can require and track read confirmation for important documents.

## Key Features

* Organise documents into configurable groups, such as Policies, Guidance, and Handbooks.
* Upload and manage your school's key documents.
* Assign individual staff to specific documents and require them to confirm they have read and understood them.
* Managers can monitor confirmation status and send reminders to outstanding staff.

## How Read Confirmation Works

When you assign a document to a member of staff, they receive a notification. They read the document and click to confirm their understanding. As the manager, you can see at a glance who has confirmed and who hasn't.

This creates an auditable record — useful for governor reporting and Ofsted evidence packs.
