# Assign a journey and track progress

> Apply a journey to the right partners, then follow each one through to do, in progress, and done so you can step in before anyone stalls.

{/* A journey does nothing until it is applied to partners, and applying it is only half the job:
  the value comes from partners actually completing it. This guide covers both halves end to end:
  publish the journey to a chosen cohort, then read live progress so you can nudge the partners
  who stall instead of finding out at the next review that onboarding never finished. */}

## What you'll achieve

A journey applied to a selected set of partners, each with their own task progress, and a live read on where every partner sits so you can act on the ones who are stuck. Onboarding or activation actually completes, rather than quietly stalling.

## Before you start

<Steps>
  <Step title="Confirm setup">
    The journey and its tasks should be ready, and the partners you want to apply it to should exist in Introw.

## Steps

### Apply the journey

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the journey">
    On [Journeys](https://app.introw.io/tasks), open the journey you want to apply.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start applying">
    Choose **Assign to partners** to open the partner picker.

    <Frame>

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the partners">
    Pick the partners who should run this journey, for example a new cohort or a group that has gone quiet. You can apply to many partners at once.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Confirm to publish. Introw copies the journey's tasks onto each selected partner so they each get their own progress.

    <Warning>
      Applying a journey copies its tasks onto each partner at that moment. Editing the journey afterward does not rewrite tasks already applied, so a partner keeps the version they were given. Re-apply, or edit their tasks directly, when a later change needs to reach partners already on the journey.
    </Warning>

    </Frame>
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Track progress

<Steps>
  <Step title="Read the progress tabs">
    Back on the journey, use the tabs to see partners grouped by **to do**, **in progress**, and **done**. The to do and in progress groups are where your attention is needed, since those partners have not finished.

    <Frame>

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Drill into a partner">
    Open a partner to see their specific tasks and how far they have gotten, so you know exactly what is blocking them. For a sequential journey, an unfinished early task blocks the rest, so look for the task they are stuck on.

    <Frame>
      <img src="https://assets.introw.io/docs/features/partners/journeys/guides/assign-a-journey-and-track-progress/steps/09.png?v=1783332265" alt="Drill into a partner" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Follow up">
    Reach out to partners who have stalled, or complete a task on their behalf when that is appropriate, to keep the journey moving. Partners shift between the groups as they complete tasks, giving you a live view of journey health.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Verify it worked

The journey's progress tabs list the partners you applied it to, starting in **to do**, and each partner sees the tasks on their own task list. As partners work through the journey, they move across **to do**, **in progress**, and **done**, so the tabs always show current journey health.
