 Identify Important Details When reading workplace documents, you may sometimes find that not all important details are clearly stated. Details are often implied, or suggested, because it is assumed that the reader will understand a detail without it being clearly stated. For instance, suppose you weren’t sure if you locked your front door. You might ask someone with you to check to be sure that the door is locked. By asking then to do so, you are also likely implying that if the door is not locked, you would like them to lock it. Part 1: Reading for Information
