checkmarking
Indicating completed tasks
Checkmarking is placing a checkmark—a small tick or ✓ symbol—next to an item, typically to indicate completion, verification, or selection.
The word often appears in contexts of reviewing lists or confirming tasks: I spent the morning checkmarking items on the inventory.
It can suggest methodical but superficial approval—going through the motions of verification without deeper scrutiny.
