What are Checklists?

Checklists are onboarding contents containing a list of organized guides. They are placed on web applications' dashboards to assist and support end-users. 

They have been designed to ensure consistency and completeness in end-user experiences that you build with guides.

To open a checklist, you must click on the launcher icon as shown below. If you prefer, you can set it to open by default by accessing:
​Checklists > Settings > Configure > Appearance Settings > Open by Default.

In the Appearance Settings, you can also hide checklists when completed. And give your users the option to dismiss and stop seeing this checklist.

To open a guide in a checklist, click on its name.

If the end-user reaches a goal, conditioned by a guide they follow through, the Guide on the Checklist gets completed and wins a tick.

Let's continue talking over them through an example that is very familiar to you 😉

Below, you can see UserGuiding's Onboarding Checklist residing in panel.userguiding.com.

After this point, the only thing you should do now is to click on a guide's name and follow its steps.  All guides on our Onboarding Checklist will direct and support you all the way. And, within NO TIME, you will
