# Align a goal to more than one parent

Let one goal support several parent goals, so its progress rolls into each of them.

A goal can support more than one parent. It shows under each, and its progress rolls into each.

**Before you start:** an admin turns on **Multiple Alignment** in Settings → Goals → Advanced features. Roles that can manage product settings (Owners and Admins by default) see that page. See [Advanced features](https://help.brev.io/settings-product/#advanced).

**Who can do this:** anyone who can edit the goal. By default that is its owners, and Org Admins and Owners. Team Admins can too when their team, or a subteam, owns the goal or has one of its owners. See [Roles and permissions](https://help.brev.io/roles-and-permissions/).

## Add a second parent {#steps}

1. Open the goal's ⋯ menu and choose **More fields**, then **Alignment**.
2. Tick each parent you want. Untick one to remove it. The edit dialog's Parent pill takes several parents the same way. In a view, Option-drag (Alt-drag) a goal onto another to add a parent.

> **Tip: Success check**
>
> The goal is listed under Child Goals on each parent's Alignment tab.

Deleting one parent keeps the goal under the others. See [Delete a goal](https://help.brev.io/delete-a-goal/).
