What this guide helps you do

Break delivery into ordered stages with due dates and visual status. Pixie CRM keeps the result connected to the relevant customer (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/customer), staff member and operational history where the feature supports those relationships. That connection is important for search, reporting, client portal (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/client-portal) visibility and future automation.

Follow these steps

- Go to Project → Milestones and select the relevant record or setup list.

- Use search, filters or status tabs to confirm you are working on the intended item.

- Check linked records, activity and permissions before changing status, ownership or visibility.

- Use the available edit, status, reorder, attach, copy or delete action as required.

- Complete any confirmation dialog carefully; destructive actions may be restricted when linked data exists.

- Check the updated state in the list and record view.

- Check (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/check) downstream client portal (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/client-portal), reporting or automation effects where applicable.

Checks before you finish

- Review client (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/customer)-visible content before publishing.

- Check (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/check) whether the result should be visible to a customer contact (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/customer) or only to staff.

- Confirm the final status, activity entry, generated document or notification (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/notification) before leaving the record.

Permission and data safetyDeletion, refunds, signature clearing, module changes, payment (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/payment) configuration and privacy actions can affect linked records or legal history. Use the least destructive action available and follow your organisation’s approval (https://pixiecrm.com/help-centre/topic/approval) process.
