Edit Subprojects from Master Project

If you are working with a master project that contains a subproject, you can edit the subproject's properties only if you inserted the entire project as a subproject into the master project and the subproject's access status is set to read/write.

Note: If the access status is set to read-only, you can make changes to the subproject from a master project but you cannot save those changes.

To edit the subproject's properties from the master project

1. In a view that displays the task detail pane, right-click the subproject (the proxy task), and select Modify from the shortcut menu.

   The General tab on the Task Properties dialog box opens.

2. Click the Subproject tab.

   The subproject' name displays in the Project field.

3. Click Project.

   The subproject's Project Properties dialog box opens.

4. Edit the subproject, and click OK when finished.

   The subproject's Project Properties dialog box closes and the Subproject tab on the Task Properties dialog box displays.

5. Click OK.

   The dialog box closes.
