Quick summary
Adding a milestone in Smartsheet requires setting identical Start and Finish dates and changing the Duration to zero in the Gantt view. This converts a standard row into a milestone marker, giving project managers a clear visual indicator of key project checkpoints.
Steps
- In Smartsheet's Gantt View, locate the Finish column and click the Calendar icon next to the date input to change the finish date so it matches the Start date exactly.
- Click the cell under the Duration column and change its value to 0.
- A milestone will now appear in the Gantt view of your Smartsheet document, confirming the row has been converted successfully.
