When you [create a milestone](/articles/creating-and-editing-milestones-for-issues-and-pull-requests), you can [associate it with issues and pull requests](/articles/associating-milestones-with-issues-and-pull-requests).
|
|
|
|
To better manage your project, you can [view details about your milestone](/articles/viewing-your-milestone-s-progress). From the milestone page, you can see:
|
|
|
|
- A user-provided description of the milestone, which can include information like a project overview, relevant teams, and projected due dates
|
|
- The milestone's due date
|
|
- The milestone's completion percentage
|
|
- The number of open and closed issues and pull requests associated with the milestone
|
|
- A list of the open and closed issues and pull requests associated with the milestone
|
|
|
|
Additionally, you can edit the milestone from the milestone page and create new issues that are, by default, associated with the milestone.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Prioritizing issues and pull requests in milestones
|
|
|
|
You can prioritize open issues and pull requests in a milestone by clicking to the left of an issue or pull request's checkbox, dragging it to a new location, and dropping it.
|
|
|
|
{% note %}
|
|
|
|
**Note:** If there are more than 500 open issues in a milestone, you won't be able to prioritize issues.
|
|
|
|
{% endnote %}
