Mandatory reading simplifies the process of ensuring that users read and acknowledge essential information. This feature is ideal for sharing policy documentation, and company guides, guaranteeing that every user reads and confirms their understanding of critical information.

In Zoho Learn, administrators or contributors need to enable mandatory reading for a manual first. Once this is done, they can then enable mandatory reading for individual articles within that manual.
Additionally, you can customize the acknowledgment form that users submit after reading an article. Customization options include adjusting the form’s appearance, editing the message displayed on the form, and customizing the text and design of the acknowledgment button.

 Enabling Mandatory Read for a manual 

 To enable Mandatory Read for a manual: 

  1. Navigate to the manual and click the More Options icon () in the top-right corner.

  2. Select Mandatory Read, then click General Settings.

  1. Select the Mandatory Read button to enable it.

  1. To customize the acknowledgment message, enter your new message in the Acknowledgment message text box.

  1. To update the button text, enter the new text in the Button text box.

      6.  Choose a theme for the form from the available options in Select theme.


  1. Preview the acknowledgment form in the Preview section.

  1. Click Save.

After configuring the manual-level settings, you can also set up mandatory reading for individual articles within the manual.
Notes
 You can only make articles that have been published mandatory reading.

Enabling Mandatory Read for an individual article
