# Milestone

**A milestone is used to mark the beginning of a new level.** They are always required and must simply be viewed by the user in order to be fulfilled. Create up to 4 (four) milestones per Pathway - one per [level](https://everyday-digital.gitbook.io/pathways-docs/create-a-pathway#levels).&#x20;

All four milestones are visible in your [Pathway Editor](https://everyday-digital.gitbook.io/pathways-docs/pathway-editor), but a milestone will only be visible on a published Pathway if it contains one or more activities.

## How to create a Milestone Activity

1. **Open a Pathway.**
2. **Select the + icon and then select Milestone.**&#x20;
3. **Add Activity Name.** This will be visible on the Pathway.
4. **Add a banner.** Upload an image (at least 1136 x 758px in size (.jpg, .png)) that will be visible once a user selects the Pathway.
5. **Add a short snippet.** Write a short description of the milestone that is visible on the Pathway for desktop and tablet only (max. 90 characters).
6. **Write a description.** Write a longer description of the milestone that is visible once a user selects the Pathway tile on mobile, desktop and tablet.
7. **Attach a resource.** Choose a file (PDF, Audio, Image, or Video) from [Cloudfile](https://everyday-digital.gitbook.io/pathways-docs/pathway-editor/pathway-activities/broken-reference).
8. **Activity Settings.** Milestone activities are always required and must be viewed to be completed.
9. **Save.**
