    The color of the milestone, shown on the legend, indicates the status of the milestone.
    • Red: Missed milestone.
    • Green: Achieved milestone.
    • Grey: Upcoming milestone.

    If multiple milestones are scheduled close to each other, they might appear grouped in the milestone bar. In this case, you can expand and collapse the milestone bar to view all the milestones of that period.
