Ready for your Milestones to go live?

Ensure you've double checked the following:

1. Check your organisation's `Milestones` settings under `Settings > Profile and terms`, including whether applicants and verifiers may use milestones themselves.
2. Create the milestone templates you reuse: `New Milestone Template +` under `Plan > Form templates > Milestones`.
3. On each milestone template, confirm `How is the Milestone amount determined?` before any milestone uses it, because it cannot change afterwards.
4. Choose each template's `Self-service` options, and preview its deliverables form in the Form Builder.
5. In a milestone batch, choose who reviews each milestone on the `Specify Reviewers` step.
6. Review the emails sent about milestones under `Communicate > Email templates`, in `Milestones`.
7. Select `Send Batch` only when the batch is right: sending makes its milestones visible, emails the applicants and cannot be undone.


Labels that name `Milestone` use your organisation's own term if you've renamed it.
