The properties on a moment turn the map into a plan: filter by **Current State** to see gaps, by **Priority** to see what is next, by **Department** or **Owner** to see who holds it. Each property saves the instant you choose a value.

## Before you start

- You are a workspace admin.
- You know who owns the moment. Owner and Stakeholders are chosen from the workspace's users, so invite anyone missing from **Settings** first.

## Steps

1. In Pyn, open **Journey** in the left navigation and select the moment's card. Its panel opens on the right on the **Details** tab.

2. Select **Current State** and choose **Unknown**, **We have this**, **Needs improvement** or **Do not have this yet**.

3. Select **Level of Effort** and choose **Low**, **Medium** or **High**.

4. Select **Priority** and choose **Low priority**, **Medium priority** or **High priority**. Moments set to **High priority** appear on the **High Priority** view.

5. Select **Department** and choose the team responsible, for example **People Operations** or **L&D**.

6. Select **Owner** and pick one user; select **Stakeholders** and pick everyone else involved.

7. To change the title, emoji or description, select each at the top of the panel and edit it in place.

## What you should see

Each value shows as a coloured chip on the Details tab as soon as you pick it, and the panel can be closed at any point. Open **Filters** on the board and the moment now matches the values you set. The full list of options is in [Moment properties](https://support.pynhq.com/journey/reference-moment-properties/).
