# Check in on a goal

Update a goal's progress, status and a note from the check-in dialog on the goal page.

A check-in records where a goal stands now: its progress, its status and a sentence on why. It moves the goal's chart and history.

**Who can do this:** by default, the goal's owners, people and teams it is shared with, Team Admins of its team, and Org Admins. Observers never can. See [Roles & permissions](https://help.brev.io/roles-and-permissions/#matrix).

## Add a check-in {#steps}

1. On the goal page, click **Check in** beside the title. You can also choose **Add check-in** in the goal's ⋯ menu.
2. Type the new percentage. For a Metric, type its current value. At 100%, Brev picks Completed and shows a score.
3. In **Add context...**, write what changed.
4. Check the status pill. Brev sets it from your progress against [what's expected today](https://help.brev.io/goal-status/). Click it to pick another.
5. Click **Add check-in**. If nothing changed, it asks you to update the context, status or progress first. On a Completed goal the button reads **Score goal**, and **Score this goal?** asks you to confirm.

> **Tip: Success check**
>
> A Check-in added toast appears. The new entry tops the goal's check-in history, and the chart gains a point.

## After you check in on a goal {#what-happens-next}

- The goal leaves your [Check in](https://help.brev.io/check-in-page/) list for 7 days.
- Pick a status yourself and Brev stops changing it as you edit the number.
- To finish a goal, pick **Completed** and score it. See [Score a goal](https://help.brev.io/score-a-goal/).
