# Partnerships

Track formal partnerships with organizations, including entity types, assistance exchanged, events and meetings, and evaluation of the relationship.

The Partnerships module allows you to document and manage formal partnerships between your organization and external entities. Use this module to record the type of assistance exchanged, track partnership events and meetings, and evaluate the depth and effectiveness of each relationship over time.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**NOTE:** Partnerships is now a **legacy** module, superseded by [Partners](/engage/partners.md). Your existing records are untouched and the module keeps working, but new organizations do not receive it. When the Partners module is on, Partnerships moves beneath a **Legacy** heading at the bottom of the **Engage** menu, and its export file names pick up a **(Legacy)** suffix. See [Partnerships and Coalitions as Legacy Modules](/engage/partners/legacy-modules.md).
