In Weplanify, the **To do** tab is the first page of the Documents module: it gathers everything waiting for an HR decision, without opening each collection.

## Steps

1. Open **People → Documents**: the To do tab is shown.
2. In **Documents to check**, click **View** to open the paper, then **Approve** or **Reject** (with a reason the employee will see).
3. In **Signatures in progress**, click **Remind** to notify those who have not signed yet, or click the document to [see the detail](https://weplanify.io/docs/documents.signature.suivre?lang=en).
4. In **Expired or expiring papers**, click **Ask for new copies**: a "Renewal" collection is created per document type, due in 15 days.
5. In **Collections in progress**, click a collection to [follow the uploads](https://weplanify.io/docs/documents.collectes.verifier?lang=en).

## Good to know

- A paper sent in answer to a [collection](https://weplanify.io/docs/documents.collectes?lang=en) only counts in the employee's file once approved.
- Only papers linked to an employee can be requested again; a company document (an insurance certificate, for example) is renewed by hand.
- When everything is up to date, the tab shows "Nothing to do".
