# Read and sign a policy (/docs/training/read-and-sign-a-policy)

Everyone who is asked to sign does this when a policy is approved or a new version comes out.

## Steps [#steps]

1. Open **Policies**. You can also use the **Policies to read and sign** list on **Today's checks**.
2. On the **To sign** tab, press **Read and sign** next to the policy. Managers and owners press **Open** or **Review** instead.
3. Read the whole policy.
4. Press **I've read this. Sign**. You will see **Policy signed**.

The policy then moves to your **Signed** tab.

## If something goes wrong [#if-something-goes-wrong]

- **There is no button to sign.** Press **Details** and look at **Your signature**. It says whether you have signed, whether the policy is approved yet, or **Not needed from your role**.
- **It says Not needed from your role and you think it should be.** Some policies are for certain jobs only, so ask your practice manager to check your job is set.
- **A policy you signed is back on your list.** Each new version needs a new signature from the team.
- **Nothing to sign.** You are up to date. When a policy needs your signature, it will be here.
- **A Confirm signature box appears.** Your practice uses stronger signing. Choose **Continue with passkey** or **Use authenticator code**.
- **Could not sign the policy.** Read the reason on the screen and try again. If it happens again, ask your practice manager.
