## Define milestones in the Release Management module

You can define milestones in the Release Management module. Select whether to create a cross milestone or a release-specific milestone.

Note: In workspaces that are members of a shared space, space admins can create shared milestones. Shared milestones are available across all the workspaces in a shared space. For details, see Shared items.

To define milestones in the Release Management module:

1. Open the Release Management module, and click the Milestones tab.

2. Click Milestone to define a milestone in the current workspace.

   Click Shared Milestone to define a milestone that will be shared across all the workspaces in a shared space.

3. Select the Release Specific checkbox to indicate that the milestone will be part of a release's timeline. Select a release.

   Leave the Release Specific checkbox empty to create a cross milestone.

4. Set the milestone's date.
5. Enter a description and add attachments to the milestone.

Tip: You can also define milestones from within a release's details. Milestones are defined in the Timeline tab, along with sprints.
