# Manage a Goal

This article covers how **line managers can view, edit, delete, and remove people from a goal they’ve set for a direct report**, from **Manage** > **Goals**. If you want to manage your own personal goals instead, see [Editing and Deleting Goals](/v1/docs/goals#editing-and-deleting-goals).

## View a Goal’s Progress

Each goal on the **Manage** > **Goals** screen shows its overall completion percentage, assigned **Skill**, **Due date**, and the **People** it’s assigned to.

Click **View [#] person** below a goal to expand the list of everyone assigned to it. For each person, you’ll see their task progress (for example, 0/1).

## Remove a Person from a Goal

1. On the goal, click **View [#] person** to expand the list of assigned people.
2. Next to the person you want to remove, click the ellipsis (**...**) in the **Actions** column.
3. Click **Remove**.
4. Click **Confirm**.

The person is removed from the goal and no longer needs to complete its tasks. Removing the last person from a goal will also delete the goal itself.

## Edit a Goal

1. In **Manage** > **Goals**, click the ellipsis (**...**) next to the goal you want to edit.
2. In the popup, click **Edit goal**.

You will be redirected to the **Edit goal** screen, where you can update the goal’s title, **Skill**, **Due date**, and description, and manage the **People**, **Tasks**, and **Settings** tabs.

### Delete a Goal

1. In **Manage** > **Goals**, click the ellipsis (**...**) next to the goal you want to delete.
2. Click **Delete goal**.
3. In the **Delete this goal** popup, click **Confirm**.

The goal is permanently deleted and all progress towards it is lost. Tasks that were already completed before deletion are unaffected.
