# Check in from Slack

Answer a check-in reminder in Slack: set progress, status and notes for each goal without leaving the DM.

An admin connects Slack once for the workspace and turns on Slack reminders. On your organization's check-in schedule, Brev DMs everyone with goals due, and you check in from the DM.

## Check in from the reminder {#steps}

1. In the reminder, click **Check in**. A window opens on the first goal.
2. Set the new progress. **-10%** and **+10%** step it without typing. A metric goal asks for the value instead.
3. Pick a **Status** if it changed.
4. Write a note in **Check-in Notes**. If Brev drafted one, it's already there.
5. Click **Save & next**, or **Skip** to move on without saving. When Brev drafted the note, **Skip, and don't check in for me** shows too, which tells Brev never to file that draft. Closing the window with the X leaves the current goal unsaved.
6. On the last goal, click **Save & finish**.

> **Tip: Success check**
>
> The window closes. Each goal you saved shows your check-in in its history in Brev.
