# Milestone Ordering

Milestone order can be changed at any time, but **when** you reorder determines how it appears to the applicant.

### Before a contract or variation is published

If you reorder milestones before a contract or contract variation is published, the new order will be captured in the contract snapshot. The applicant will see milestones in the order you set.

If you reorder milestones after a contract or variation has already been published, the published contract document will *not* reflect the new order — it stays as it was when snapshotted. However, the applicant will see the updated order when they view their Contract Milestones.

### How to reorder milestones

Open the **Milestones** tab on the contract, then use the **View** dropdown on any milestone row to access the ordering options:
