# Resetting agreements after a content update
## Learn how to use the "Reset Agreements" feature to clear existing sign-offs, prompt your team to re-agree to updated systems, and track compliance progress while preserving historical audit logs.
---
### **🔄 When to Reset Agreements**
When you make a meaningful change to a system or policy, the previous sign-offs no longer reflect the current content. For audit and compliance purposes, you need the team to acknowledge the new version. **Reset Agreements** clears all existing sign-offs and prompts every assigned member to re-agree.
### **Use this feature when:**
- A policy has been substantively rewritten, not just a typo fix.
- A safety procedure has changed.
- A compliance review has resulted in updated content.
- An audit requires evidence that the team has seen the current version.
### **Do NOT use this feature:**
- After a minor edit, such as formatting, typo, or link fixes.
- For low-stakes systems where the audit trail is not critical.
- More than once for the same change, as resetting multiple times causes the team to start ignoring re-sign requests.
---
### **🚀 How to Reset Agreements**
1. Open the updated system or policy document.
2. Navigate to the right panel and click **View Agreement Log**.
3. Click **Reset**.
4. Confirm your choice in the pop-up window to clear existing active sign-offs.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Optionally, click **Notify** before or after the reset to automatically email everyone that a re-sign is needed.

### **📜 What Happens to the Audit Trail?**
Resetting does not delete your compliance history. The **Agreement Log** safely keeps a permanent record of:
- All previous sign-offs, preserved exactly as they were completed.
- The reset event, including the timestamp and details of who triggered it.
- New sign-offs completed going forward.
Compliance auditors can see the full timeline, including who agreed when, when the reset happened, and who re-agreed.
---
### **📈 Tracking Re-Sign Progress**
After resetting your agreements, monitor your team's compliance progress:
- Check the **View Agreement Log** on the document to see who has re-signed and who has not.
- Click **Notify** to send a direct email reminder specifically to those who have not responded.
- Use the **Members Sign-Off Report** across the whole account to see all open re-sign items in one centralized place.
For high-stakes resets, set yourself a calendar reminder to chase non-responders within a week.
