# Working with checklists

> Open a manual test's checklist, inspect individual checks, and record a Pass, Failed, or N/A assessment against each one.

A checklist turns a manual test into a set of discrete security checks you can work through and mark off.

## Check statuses

| Status     | Meaning                                              |
| :--------- | :--------------------------------------------------- |
| **Pass**   | The check passed without issues.                     |
| **Failed** | A security failure or non-compliance was identified. |
| **N/A**    | The check does not apply to the current scope.       |

## Update a check

1. Open **Manual Tests** from the sidebar and select a test from the list, such as *Upgrade of SSH across Azure*.
