Project 2016

Lesson – Organizing Tasks

After you decide on the arrangement of your outline, you can indent (demote) and outdent (promote) tasks. Indent or outdent a single task or multiple tasks at the same time. When you indent a task, you cannot indent it more than one level below the preceding task. You can, however, have a significant number of task levels in a project.

Anything you do to a summary task affects its subtasks. If you move, delete, outdent, or indent a summary task, all of its subtasks are similarly affected.

Outline tasks using the buttons on the Task tab, in the Schedule group.
