Change how a view lays out goals

Switch a view between the Nested list, with sub-goals under their parents, and the Flat list of matching goals.

Last updated Nov 10, 2026

core
Open in app
The Layout menu open in the Goals header.

The layout decides how a view draws its goals. It never changes which goals match.

Switch the layout #

  1. In the Goals header, click Layout on the right.
  2. Pick Nested or Flat.
Nested
The default. Goals sit under their parent goals. Expand a goal to see its sub-goals.
Flat
Only the goals that match your filters, without their sub-goals.
Success check
The list redraws, and the Layout icon shows the layout you picked.

Good to know #

  • Your layout is personal, remembered per view in this browser. It never turns on Reset all or Save.
  • Your organization may turn on more layouts. If the menu shows only Nested and Flat, it hasn't.
  • To preview a goal without opening it, hover it in the list and press Space.
