6. Project progress 2

Introduction
In this module, you will learn how to update your progress by marking tasks as completed. You will also create a progress report.

Before you start
You have been working on your translation and have finished a task. You now want to update your progress.

Why is this important?
For the project plan to work well, you need to mark the tasks you have finished. This allows Paratext 9 to make the next task available for the other team members. It also gives Paratext accurate information on your progress for the reports. Creating a progress report helps you prepare a report for your supervisors and funders.

What you are going to do
You will open the assignments and progress window and update the progress made. You will then produce a report.
