Follow-ups make it easy to stay on top of items from Check-ins that need further attention. Instead of searching through old Check-ins, notes, or Slack conversations trying to recall when and where something came up, you can simply flag an answer or comment for follow-up. Flagged items are automatically organized into a dedicated section in Check-ins, giving you clear oversight and ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
