# Milestones

Create release milestones for events within a release's lifecycle, or cross milestones for events that are not connected to any particular release.

In this topic:

## Define milestones

You can define milestones in the Release Management module and in the Settings area.

When in the Release Management module, select whether to create a cross milestone or a release-specific milestone.

In the Settings area, you can add milestones to a release within a workspace.

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 on shared spaces, see Admin.

To define a milestone:

In the Release Management module, do the following:

1. Open the global menu and select Release & Process > Release Management.
2. Go to the Milestones tab.

3. Click + Milestone to define a milestone in the current workspace.

   Expand the list and select Shared Milestone to define a milestone that will be shared across all the workspaces in a shared space.

4. 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.

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

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

Tip: You can create user-defined fields of the type Milestone. This allows you to define multiple milestone fields for a single item (for example, a security milestone and a go-to-market milestone), and include milestone-related information for entities that do not support a system milestone field.

For details, see Fields.

3. Click the Deactivate button . Deactivated milestones are not removed from the grid.
