# What are Props?

### Odds are your team already has an emoji that is used to say "thank you" or give "kudos" to helpful colleagues.  [Message reactions](https://slack.com/help/articles/206870317-Use-emoji-reactions) with that emoji count as Props.

* **Proper** only keeps track of reactions with the selected emoji in the channels the app has joined.
* The tracked emoji can be changed with a [**vote**](/proper/reference/props/settings/emoji.md) or **manually**.
* Admins can configure approval [**settings**](/proper/reference/admin-settings.md) for which channels **Proper** can [**join**](/proper/reference/props/settings/channels.md), calling a **vote**, and/or accepting a new emoji.
