Hello Acknowledgements should be kept. However the following should be taken into account.
The acknowledgement for each individual chapter is normally dropped from the front of a chapter when the guide is created. Acknowledgement should only remain in a chapter if that individual chapter is to be published separately from the guide and remain available for download on the LO website.
