How Completion Works
By default, CaseStacks automatically marks cases complete when you open them. You don't need to click anything โ simply viewing a case records it in your progress.
This is the recommended setting for most users. You can turn it off if you'd rather mark completion manually.
Turning Auto-Complete Off
If you prefer to mark cases complete yourself:
- Open the settings panel (gear icon in the footer), or go to Account Settings โ Accessibility tab
- Turn off Auto-complete cases
- Cases now stay "not complete" until you mark them
Manually Marking Complete
When auto-complete is off, the Mark Complete button appears in the case header. On the website it sits at the top of the right column on a wide screen, and near the top of the case on a narrow one such as a phone browser.
- Click Mark Complete to record the case as done โ the button turns green and shows "Completed"
- Click Completed again to undo completion
There are no prerequisites โ you don't need to open every image first. The button is always available when auto-complete is off.
Marking a case complete also works in the CaseStacks mobile app, which is a separate app from the website. It needs a connection.
Where Completed Cases Show Up
- Dashboard โ overall cases-completed count and recent activity
- Course pages โ completed cases get a green checkmark
- Progress โ see Tracking Your Progress
- CME Dashboard โ CME-eligible cases count toward your earned CME once completed
CME and Completion
CME credit is awarded for the first time you complete a CME-eligible case. Marking a case incomplete and then complete again does not re-award credit for the same case. If a case has CME credit attached, completing it automatically adds those credits to your balance โ see Claiming CME Credits.
