Rescheduling a task by dragging its bar
You can move a task to a new date range by dragging its bar on the timeline. This article covers rescheduling tasks directly on the timeline.
Steps
- Open Timeline and locate the task's bar in the schedule area.
- Click and hold the middle of the bar, then drag it left or right to the new date range.
- Release the mouse button to drop it in place.
The task's start and due dates update to match wherever you dropped the bar, and the change saves automatically — there's no separate save step. If the update fails to save, the bar snaps back to its original position.
This also works on asset bars, updating the asset's due date. Project rows aren't draggable.
