Managing Custom Periods

The "Your custom periods" section displays all custom periods created by you or your colleagues. You can edit the name, start date, and end date of any custom period.

Click the Add Period button to create a new custom period.

Specify a name, start date, and end date.

Important Notes:

Changes to a custom period affect all OKRs using that period.
Deleting a custom period removes it from all associated OKRs.

Managing Default Periods

The "Default Periods" section displays periods generated by the system. These cannot be edited, but you can hide a period from view by clicking the eye icon next to a period. This doesn't delete the period, just carries it to the end of the list.
