How it's used
Primarily used in professional or formal contexts to describe the progression of a task or event. While it functions as a verb, it is very frequently used as a noun modifier to describe subsequent actions or plans. It carries a sense of continuity and responsibility for what happens after an initial phase.
Examples
How will you follow up on this matter later?

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 跟進, which is the more common, everyday way to say follow up on a specific task or person. Use 後續 when referring to the general sequence of events or future arrangements, but use 跟進 when you need to check on the status of a specific project or request.
