# Responding to Check-Ins

When a client submits a check-in, it appears in your **Unread Check-ins** list in the sidebar. Open it to review their data and send your response.

## Opening a Check-In

You can access check-ins from several places:

- **Sidebar > Unread Check-ins** — shows all check-ins waiting for your response
- **Client list** — click the **View check-in** button on a client row
- **Client profile > Check-Ins tab** — view a client's full check-in history

## Reviewing a Check-In

The check-in view is organized into sections, each accessible via sticky navigation tabs at the top:
