How do badges work, and where do I find them?

Badges celebrate steady habits in your ministry, like sharing each month, sending your report, and going back to see people. There's nothing to set up: WitnessWork checks your records and adds a badge when you reach one. To see yours, tap your profile picture, then Profile. Your badges sit right under your profile card; tap one to see it up close, or tap See all to open Badges, where you can see every badge you have and what helps each one grow next. Most badges grow through four levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Pearl. A few one-time badges, like First Bible Study, stay hidden until you have them. When something you just did earns a badge, like logging time, checking off that you shared, saving a visit or plan, sending your report, answering Going, or confirming a buddy, a small card with the badge slides in at the top of the screen. Tap it to celebrate the badge full screen, or swipe it away. Several new badges stack, newest in front; tap the ones behind to spread them out. A badge you don't tap, and one that arrives another way, such as a plan's day arriving overnight, time logged on your watch or another device, or a buddy's reply, doesn't interrupt you: it waits in the notification bell on Home. Tap View there to celebrate it, or X to dismiss it; either way the badge is saved and stays marked new on your profile until you open your badges. (Before version 1.45.0, a badge you just earned was celebrated full screen right away, and one that arrived another way showed a New badge card at the top of Home.) If your records already reach badges the first time WitnessWork checks them on a device, a one-time “Your badges are here” screen says how many you have: Take a look opens your profile, and Later closes it. It waits for a time you open WitnessWork without an update's tour. Badges reached by records you add or restore while setting up WitnessWork are added without it. Either way, your badges are already saved. Badges work on iOS and Android and update a moment after your records change and whenever you return to WitnessWork. They aren't the red number on the app icon, which counts unread items in the notification bell.
