How do I use the onboarding checklist to set up my account?

Work through the six first-run steps in the dashboard checklist, see how each one completes, and hide it when you're done.

Verified Sep 12, 2026Web

Your dashboard includes a welcome checklist that tracks your first-run milestones. On a desktop-size window it sits as a floating card at the bottom of the screen; on a small window it's a percentage button in the header. Either one opens a side drawer with the steps and a completion percentage.

The drawer opens automatically right after the setup and demo-data step. After that, open it from the floating card or from Get Started in the account menu.

Where the checklist appears

The checklist is on the web dashboard only. It doesn't appear in the coach mobile app, and it never shows on the Messages page — if it looks missing, open the web dashboard on another page.

Once every step is complete, the floating card disappears on its own. You don't need to dismiss it.

Hide the onboarding checklist

  1. Open the checklist drawer from the floating card.
  2. Click Hide checklist.
  3. Confirm when asked "Are you sure you'd like to hide this checklist forever?"

Quick answers

I hid the onboarding checklist — can I bring it back?

The floating card is gone for good, but the checklist itself isn't. Open Get Started in the account menu to see the drawer and your progress.
