Only one check will be reported to GitHub per commit sha and workflow name.
| * GitHub Checks are administered from the GitHub UI, and are reported in the GitHub UI per _workflow_. | ||
| ** GitHub Checks from OAuth integrations have the same name as the associated workflow. | ||
| ** GitHub Checks from GitHub App integrations are named using a combination of the workflow name and the first eight characters of the pipeline definition ID. The identifier is used to prevent naming collisions. The pipeline definition ID is available in the *Project Settings* > *Pipelines* page in the CircleCI web app. | ||
| ** Each workflow in a pipeline generates a GitHub status check. However, if multiple pipelines are triggered for the same commit SHA with workflows that share the same name, only one check will appear for that workflow name. Use unique workflow names across pipelines to get distinct checks. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think maybe this should read "GitHub Check" rather than "status update" ?
Removed "Status" for clarity
