Edit and Update Goals

How to modify goal details, change status, and update properties after creation.

Written by James Ross

Description

Goals aren't set in stone. As circumstances change, you may need to update a goal's details — change the title, reassign ownership, adjust dates, or switch between Draft and Active status.

Quick Steps

Edit Goal Details

  • Right-click on the goal in the plan tree.

  • Select Edit Goal from the context menu.

  • The goal modal opens with all fields editable.

  • Make your changes to any field (title, description, focus area, template, dates, owner).

  • Click Save to apply changes.

Change Goal Status

  • Edit the goal (right-click → Edit Goal).

  • Click Activate Goal to change from Draft to Active.

  • Active goals appear in dashboards, reports, and Gantt charts.

Restrictions

  • Only users with edit permissions can modify goals.

  • Activating a goal requires an Owner to be set.

  • Viewers cannot edit goals — they see a read-only view.

Important: Changing a goal's Focus Area moves it to the new focus area. The goal is removed from its original location.
