Managing Milestones

Milestones with due dates in the past are highlighted with dates in gray. Dates in the future are blue.
Filter and sort Milestones to see only what's relevant. For example, see only achieved Milestones by selecting those that are Done. Select My Milestones to see only Milestones where you have Tasks.
Expand a Milestone card to see a Tasks status for associated assignees. Hover over the assignee to see user details.
Hover over the user to see more details, including the user's role and email address.
