# Completing a Visit

### Closing the Checklist

When all checklist steps are complete, return to the main menu by selecting **Finish Visit**. If surveys or Flow recordings are incomplete, a warning will appear.

NOTE:You do not need to press **Finish Visit** for surveys and Flow recordings to upload to the Kernel Cloud. If a step is marked complete (green in the checklist), the data has already been saved/transmitted.  

- Surveys are marked complete once submitted.
- Flow recordings are marked complete if a recording was captured (simply placing the headset and turning the lasers on does not count).

Alternatively, if a participant misses the visit entirely, you may press **Mark Missed**.

### Sanitizing the Headset

When the participant leaves, sanitize the headset according to the procedure in [Cleaning your Flow system.](/v1/docs/cleaning-your-flow2-system) The headset must be sanitized between each participant.

### Power down the Headset

The headset may remain in its "sleep state" (power on, lasers off) between scans. However, if there is at least 1 hour between study visits, we recommend fully powering down the headset using the On/Off switch on the power cable.
