Moving Tasks

There are several ways in which you can move tasks.

Moving Tasks in the Hierarchy

To move a task in the hierarchy:

1. Select the task that you want to move.
2. If you want to demote the task, click Indent. If you want to move the task up one level in the hierarchy, click Outdent.
   Notes

   

   We recommend indenting a maximum of 15 tasks in one go.

   We recommend outdenting a maximum of eight tasks in one go.
   Tip

   

   The Start and End dates of related tasks such as parent tasks are updated to reflect the change.

Moving Tasks in the List

There are several ways in which you can change the order in which tasks appear.

To move a task by dragging it, click and drag the task that you want to move in the Tasks pane.

Note

If you click and drag a parent task, the child tasks are moved with it.

If you are moving a parent task, ensure that only that task is selected before you drag it. If you do not to this, selected child tasks are promoted to the same level as the parent task.

To move a task using the up or down button:

1. Select the task that you want to move in the Tasks pane or the Schedule pane.
2. Click Up or Down depending on whether you want to move the task up or down.
   Note

   

   This action does not change the start or end date of any tasks. If the task is a child task, it is moved up or down within its current parent task.

For information about sorting tasks, see "Viewing Tasks in the Tasks Pane".

Dragging Tasks in the Schedule Pane

When you drag a task horizontally in the Schedule pane this changes the start and end dates of that task. For information about changing the start and end dates of tasks, see "Changing Start and End Dates".

Note

You cannot drag tasks vertically in the Schedule pane. If you want to move the position of a task in Project Task Gantt you can do so on the Tasks pane. See "Moving Tasks in the List".
