# How to transform a role into a circle (and back)?

A role can be extended into a circle or reduced back into a role, similarly by administrators and members of the circle.

⚠️ **Be careful**: Reducing a circle into a role will delete all projects, checklists, metrics, and meeting reports of the circle concerned.

# Who can transform a role into a circle?

* **As a core member of the role** being extended, you can click on **Validate** to apply the changes without needing consent from other members. You can also save this evolution as a proposal in the **Proposals** app to review and bring to your circle meeting another time.
* **If you are not a core member** of the role being extended, you can either **Submit** this proposal to your circle or save it in your **Proposals** app to review and submit later, either asynchronously or during a meeting.

📌  **Note**: By extending the role to a circle, the [core roles](https://help.holaspirit.com/en/article/understanding-core-roles-161n614/) defined in the [organization's administration settings](https://help.holaspirit.com/en/article/how-to-configure-circle-settings-for-my-organization-1ehcm9w/) will automatically be created within the new circle.

# Reduce a circle into a role during a meeting

Meetings provide a forum to discuss changes in structure within the organization and its circles. Governance meetings are usually the best place to examine these types of evolutions. The meeting template must contain the Agenda step and the Governance results box must be ticked.

📌  **Note**: To reduce a circle into a role in a meeting, the meeting must be opened for the circle that **contains** the sub-circle you want to reduce into a role.


* Either add your agenda item or import your proposal
* As the secretary, click on **Add meeting results**
* Choose **Circle** then select **Reduce to a simple role**

* Select the **circle** you want to transform from the drop-down list
* Click on **Save**
* Click on **Validate**

Once the meeting is closed, the evolution processed during the meeting will be applied to the organization.
