# Can the sub-campaigns have different deadlines?

## 🕒 Sub-Campaign Deadline Options

When setting up a **microproject campaign** (main campaign with sub-campaigns), you can control how deadlines work for the sub-campaigns by choosing between two deadline types:

### 1. **Same as Main** (Default)

All sub-campaigns will automatically share the **same deadline** as the main campaign. This option ensures consistency and is helpful when your fundraising effort has a fixed end date (e.g., a school fundraiser ending on June 15).

**Example:**
If your main campaign ends on **June 15**, all sub-campaigns will also end on **June 15**, regardless of when they are created.

---

### 2. **Independent**

Sub-campaigns have **custom deadlines** that you set when they are created, while the main campaign **does****not** have a deadline of its own.

This option allows each participant to fundraise on their own schedule, making it ideal for ongoing campaigns or events with rolling participation.

**Example:**
You can set one sub-campaign to end in 30 days and another to run for 6 weeks — all within the same main campaign.

---

### How to Set This Up

1. Navigate to your **main campaign's Manage panel**.
2. Go to **Sub-campaign settings**.
3. Choose your preferred **Deadline Type**:
   - **Same as Main**
   - **Independent**

You can always update this setting before new sub-campaigns are created, but it will not affect existing sub-campaigns.
