# Roll over to a new time period

At the end of a quarter or year, set the next period as Current so new goals, Check in and views move to it.

Rolling over marks a new period as Current. Brev updates the other periods of that type for you.

**Who can do this:** roles with Manage time periods, Owners and Admins by default. See [Roles & permissions](https://help.brev.io/roles-and-permissions/#matrix).

## Set the new period as Current {#steps}

1. Open Settings. Under Workspace, click **Time periods**.
2. Hover the badge of the period you're moving to. If it doesn't exist yet, create it first.
3. Click the check-circle icon on the badge. Its tooltip reads Set as current time period.

> **Tip: Success check**
>
> The badge gets a green outline and a green icon. Hover it and the tooltip ends in (Current).

## After you roll over to a new period {#what-happens-next}

- Every other period of the same type becomes Past if it ended before the new one starts. The rest become Next.
- Other types don't change, so roll your year over separately.
- New goals, Check in and default views follow the new period. See [What the Current time period does](https://help.brev.io/current-time-period/).
- Goals stay on the period they were on. Clone a goal to carry it into the new period.
