Make a goal private

Hide a goal from everyone except its owners and creator, and share it with chosen people or teams.

Last updated Nov 10, 2026

A private goal is visible only to its owners, its creator, and the people and teams you share it with.

Before you start: an admin turns on Private Goals in Settings → Goals → Advanced features. Roles that can manage product settings (Owners and Admins by default) see that page. See Advanced features.

  2. Switch it to Private.
  3. To let others in, choose People or Teams in the same panel and pick who.
