## Changing an Outcome's Scope

{% hint style="info" %}
You can only adjust the Scope of an **Outcome with no Children**. The Scope of the Outcomes with Children is automatically computed based on the scope of their Children.

To change an Outcomes' Scope that has no Children, do one of the following:

* **In Table View**
  * Click on the Outcome's Statement to open the Expanded View for that Outcome. 
  * On the right column under the Scope section switch between Small and Uncertain scope options.
* **In Map View**
  * Double click on the Outcome card to open the Expanded View for that Outcome. 
  * On the right column under the Scope section switch between Small and Uncertain scope options.
