All users (except for Collaborators, Contributors, or Viewers) on all account types can create milestones.
Milestones are tasks that are scheduled for one day and have no duration. Milestones are used as reference points to mark a major event or a branching decision point in a project.
You can convert any existing task into a milestone:
-
Open a Task 1 you want to convert to a milestone in Item view or create a new task.
-
Click the three-dot menu 2 button in the top-right corner of the task's item view.
-
Select Convert to milestone 3.
Note
If the converted task has no specified start/end dates, the task is converted into a milestone with the current date as a due date. If the end date was specified it becomes the due date for the milestone.
Another way to convert a task into a milestone from Item view:
-
Open a Task 1 you want to convert to a milestone or create a new task.
-
Click the Date 2 section of the task (if the task is currently scheduled for any dates).
-
Delete the date in the Start date 3 field.
-
Choose the target date for the milestone in the Due date 4 field.
-
Click Save 5 .
