# Managing a Confirmation Cycle
Confirm that you have read and understood newly published changes.
During **confirmation**, key stakeholders verify that they have read and understood the updated documentation, enhancing accountability and communication.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Confirmation is **obligatory** by default and is automatically triggered when documentation is published.
{% endhint %}

## How to Customize a Confirmation Cycle
In **Phase 1**, governance cycle management is not yet available in the platform. All setup and administration must be performed in EPC.
To customize which RASCI-VS role(s) are required to confirm, refer to the following EPC topic:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://interfacing.gitbook.io/interfacing-help-files/document-control/managing-documentation-lifecycle/managing-a-confirmation-cycle.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
