# Nudges

> Proactive prompts that surface useful next actions.

A nudge is Sidekick noticing something you could act on and offering to help, without you having to ask first. This page covers the two places nudges show up: on your desktop, and inside a thread as a draft to review.

## Desktop nudges

A desktop nudge is a small card that appears on your machine when Sidekick has a suggestion for a better next step. You have two options:

* **Open in Sidekick**: opens the suggestion in a thread so you can act on it.
* **Dismiss**: closes the card. Nothing happens and Sidekick doesn't ask again for that suggestion.

## Draft review

Some work produces something meant to go out on your behalf, a message, for example. Before it's sent, Sidekick shows it to you as a draft.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Review the draft">
    Read what Sidekick produced as if you were about to send it yourself.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify it says what you want">
    Check the details: who it's going to, what it claims, and whether it matches what you actually meant.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send or discard it">
    Choose **Send** to let it go out as drafted, or **Discard** to stop it. Nothing leaves without one of these two actions.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Draft review is the last checkpoint. Nothing goes out until you choose Send.
