The **Welcome Checklist** is a global onboarding feature in your Mighty Network that helps new members explore key actions and content when they first join. It's a simple, customizable way to guide members through their first steps and ensure they understand your community's purpose and features.

The Welcome Checklist appears as a **flyout on the right side** of the screen for all full members with Network access. It's available on both desktop and mobile, and progress syncs automatically across devices.

**Note:** The Welcome Checklist is only available to [**full members**](https://docs.mightynetworks.com/for-hosts/payments-and-access/what-is-a-full-vs-limited-membership) with Network access. Limited members do not have access.

## Why Use the Welcome Checklist

The Welcome Checklist helps you:

* Onboard new members quickly and consistently.
* Direct people to important posts, Spaces, or events.
* Encourage engagement with default actions like commenting or reacting.
* Track which members have completed key onboarding steps.

## How to Set Up the Welcome Checklist

1. Go to **Admin > Engagement > Welcome Checklist** — the direct path is `/admin/member-welcome-checklist`.
2. **Customize your Checklist:**
   * Rearrange items using the **three-line menu**.
   * Add content such as **Articles**, **Posts**, **Spaces**, **Events**, **Lessons**, or **Sections**.
3. **Add Mighty Suggestions** (defaults include):
   * Fill Out Your Profile
   * Adjust Your Notifications
   * Download the App
   * React to Something
   * Add a Comment
   * Start a Chat
   * Invite Someone to the Network
   * Follow a Member in the Network
   * RSVP to an Event
   * Introduce Yourself
4. **Add Custom Actions:**
   * You can include actions tied to specific Spaces.
   * The Space's visibility must be set to **Who Can See This Space? → Anyone in the Network** for members to access it.
5. **Write a Welcome Article (optional):**
   * A Welcome Article is a great way to introduce your community's purpose, values, and key features.
   * For inspiration, check out the Welcome Article in **Mighty Community**.
6. **Preview Your Checklist:**
   * Available on web only, this allows you to see what members will experience.
7. **Disable the Checklist:**
   * Turn the feature off anytime from the same setup menu.

## Important Notes

### Flyout Visibility

* Once a member completes the Welcome Checklist, the flyout disappears permanently.
* If you want members who have completed the Checklist to see new items, enable the **Welcome Checklist** in **Global Discovery** settings.

### New Content for Incomplete Checklists

* If a member hasn't finished their Checklist, any new items you add will automatically appear in their flyout.

### Tracking Progress

* When you download your **Member List**, you'll see which members have completed the Welcome Checklist.

## Member Experience

**For Members Who Have Completed the Checklist:**

* The flyout disappears once all items are finished.
* New Checklist content remains visible in the **Global Discovery** section if it's toggled on.

**For Members Still Working on the Checklist:**

* Any new items you add appear automatically, ensuring their Checklist stays current.

## Tips for Creating an Effective Welcome Checklist

* **Keep it short:** Focus on the five to seven most important actions for new members.
* **Mix content types:** Include a variety of items—Spaces, posts, events—to showcase what your Network offers.
* **Include quick wins:** Early tasks like "React to a Post" or "Follow a Member" help members feel immediately connected.
* **Revisit regularly:** Update your Checklist as your Network grows or changes focus.

## Automations

On the Scale plan and up, we have a trigger for "Completed Welcome Checklist". This means, you can set up an Automation that completes an action (ie: assigning a badge, sending a welcome message) whenever a new member completes the checklist.
