# Track progress with journey snapshots

> A snapshot records where a journey stands at a moment in time. Take them as you go and your journey charts its own progress, so you can see what moved and what stalled from one pass to the next.

## Save a snapshot

1. Open the journey from your **Journeys** list.
2. On the **Details** tab, find **Progress**.
3. Add a label if you want one, like "End of sprint 3". It's optional.
4. Select **Save snapshot**.

You can save a snapshot if you can manage the journey. Everyone who can see the journey sees its snapshots.

## Take snapshots automatically

A snapshot is taken for you each time a stage is completed. To also take one every week:

1. Open the journey and go to the **Edit** tab.
2. Turn on **Weekly snapshot**.

Weekly snapshots are taken on Mondays. In the list, each snapshot shows how it was taken: **Saved**, **Stage completed** or **Weekly**, or the label you gave it.

## Read your progress

**Progress** charts every snapshot over time. The solid line is how much is done. The dashed line is how much should be done by then. Hover a point to see its date, label and both numbers.

| Reading | What it counts |
| - | - |
| Done | Completed stages, actions and action steps, out of all of them |
| Expected | How far you are between the journey's start and target dates |

Expected only shows when the journey has both a start and a target date. Open **Snapshots** under the chart to see each snapshot's numbers, newest first.

## See every journey's progress

The **Snapshots** tool in a venture's space charts every journey there that has snapshots, with each one's latest reading. Select a journey's name to open it and take another.
