How to re-set goals for 'Steps' (daily)

[Humbr]

Does anyone know how to re-set the daily goal for number of steps?  Mine is currently set to 10,000 per day, but I would like to change it.  How do I do that?

Click steps on phone app main screen, then the gear icon at top right; it lets you change activity goals for several categories.

Thanks Johnny - but I'm not using my phone - I'm using the Dashboard on my PC.  I can't seem to find what you're referring to....?

See How do I set or change my Fitbit goals?

For future reference, it helps to tell from the start which kind of dashboard or sync device you are using.  I used to start every answer with asking if using  Android, iPhone, fitbit.com dashboard, or Windows 10 app.  It seemed  most people using phone app and asking just required an extrta round of back-and-forth and slowed down getting the answer out.  So now I usually just assume using phone, and then see if user responds that my answer doesn't make sense.

Short answer, hover your mouse pointer over "today" on the web page. A gear will appear below the today window. Click the gear and you can change your daily goals. 

Thing I don't like is, if you raise your goals, every day you didn't reach that mark in the past shows as not reaching the goal, even though your goal was lower then. Unless they've changed that since I last tried.

My apologies Johnny - I broke my own rule!  Understood - I'll keep that in mind next time...

Thanks Mark.  I'm not sure which 'Today' you are referring to....?  The only one I see is in the top left of my dashboard that allows you to select which days activities to display.  When I hover my mouse over it, I don't see anything/  nothing pops up ....

No apologies relevant, and no disrespect meant.

From link in my reply:

1. On the fitbit.com dashboard, hover your cursor over the bottom of the tile you want to adjust. For example, to change your weight goal, hover over the bottom of the weight tile.
2. Click the gear icon .
3. Adjust your goal information. To delete your weight goal, click Delete goal > Done.
4. Click Save or Done to confirm your changes.

There is a tile labelled "Today" which contains steps and others.

Isn't there a section that shows todays steps, distance, active minutes. Etc?. 

[Humbr]

Thanks Mark.  Found it!!  It was at the bottom of my dashboard - where I can't normally see it.  

These things are not obvious though - they should have these under 'Settings' as well (which seems to me the logical place for it).

You're welcome Brian. Glad you were able to find it.
