Once the Expr3ss! integration is set up, you can launch background checks and track their progress without leaving Expr3ss!.

If you haven't set up the integration yet, see [Setting up the Expr3ss! integration](/v1/docs/setting-up-the-expr3ss-integration) before continuing.

## Launch checks within Expr3ss!
1. In Expr3ss!, navigate to the candidate you would like to launch checks for.
2. Click **Select Check(s)**.

![click Select Check(s)](https://cdn.document360.io/7b4c6a0d-ec3b-4e70-95f8-547fce240019/Images/Documentation/01_expr3ss_checks_select_checks.png){height="" width=""}

3. A window will popup, prompting you to select your desired background checks. 
4. Select the **Bundle** or individual checks you'd like to launch. If your organisation has more than one brand, select the appropriate **Brand**.
5. Once you've selected your checks and configured any options for those checks, scroll down and click **Launch Checks**.

## Monitor progress
You can monitor the progress of checks and any candidate activity at any time by returning to the candidate's profile in Expr3ss!.

The following 3 tabs allow you to view progress and edit candidate details:

**Background Checks** - From here you can view the status of the check, add additional checks using the **Add Checks** button and download results when checks are complete.

**Candidate** - This tab allows you to update the candidate's details at any time during the background check process.

**History** - This tab shows a chronological log of events related to the candidate's background screening process.
