# Publishing Reels via Instagram Achievements

> Upload Reels directly from unearned achievement cards to potentially increase reach

This workflow method initiates Instagram Reel creation from inside the Professional Dashboard's Achievements section rather than the standard upload button. Creators use it based on claims that linking the upload directly to milestone targets helps trigger broader algorithmic distribution.

## How it works

1. Go to your Instagram profile and open the 'Professional dashboard' (Профессиональная панель).
2. Under 'Your tools' (Ваши инструменты), select 'Achievements' (Достижения).
3. In 'Available achievements' (Доступные достижения), tap on an unearned milestone (the video suggests choosing 'Views' / 'Просмотры', e.g., 2M views).
4. Tap the 'Create Reels video' (Создать видео Reels) button inside that achievement card to upload your video.

## What it is for

- Test alternative upload workflows to potentially boost Instagram Reel reach
- Track and target specific creator milestones directly while publishing content

## Key points

- Navigate to the Professional Dashboard on your Instagram profile
- Open the Achievements section located under Your Tools
- Select an unearned milestone card under Available Achievements, such as a high view target
- Tap the Create Reels video button directly inside the selected achievement card to publish
