# Update roadmap item milestones

Update or delete the milestones that you added to your planning items \(such as demands, epics, or programs\) so that they reflect any change of plans.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_align\_core.apw\_user

## About this task

From the portfolio roadmap or free-form roadmap, select a planning milestone to update its details. Use the roadmap side panel to edit the details and submit.

For free-form roadmaps, milestones are supported only if the source table is Planning Item \[sn\_align\_core\_planning\_item\] or one of its extensions.

**Important:**

You can’t add a project milestone from the roadmap view. Creating or updating project milestones may impact the associated project plans. So, it’s recommended to create or update project milestones using Project Workspace in Project Portfolio Management \(PPM\).

However, any existing milestones of the project are visible on the roadmap if you've [integrated Strategic Planning with PPM](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/scenario-planning-in-spw/configuring-apw-with-agile-safe-and-ppm.md).
