If you want to have visibility into another person's Check-ins, you can request permission to "follow" them. Follow requests are sent to the other person and, if they accept, will give you access to view and interact with their Check-in. This includes commenting, liking, and passing up answers. You can also choose to be notified each time they submit their Check-in.

Uh-oh: I lost the follower approval email
When you request to follow another person's Check-ins, they will get an in-app notification and an email notification asking them to approve or deny your request. Similarly, if someone requests to follow your Check-ins, you will receive an in-app notification and email notification. If the follow request email was lost or if you do not see the email, you can approve the request in-app by following the steps below.
- Click on the Settings gear in the top, right-hand corner of your 15Five account.
- Select 'My settings' from the dropdown menu.
- At the top of the page, click to open the 'Check-in visibility' tab.
- From the 'Who can see my Check-ins' tab, click in the 'Followers' box. From here, click either Approve or Ignore.
