Edit Tasks in the Gantt Chart

You can edit the start and finish dates for an existing task in the Gantt chart. To edit, use the Gantt view by dragging the beginning, middle, or end of a taskbar. Drag the middle of the taskbar left or right to change the start and finish dates. Or, drag the shaded beginning or end of the taskbar to the desired location.

If a task has actuals posted against it, you cannot change the start date by dragging.

As you drag a taskbar, the effective date appears above the mouse pointer. If you change a value, a red triangle displays in the upper left area of the field in the WBS and the Gantt chart. On saving the changes, the red triangle is cleared.
