Collapse an outline when you want to view only the summary tasks and then expand it to view the subtasks. Collapse individual summary tasks or collapse all summary tasks to view the major phases of a project.

The arrow

next to a summary task in the task list can be used to collapse it and

hide its subtasks. Use the arrow

to expand the summary task and display its

subtasks.

On the View tab, use the Outline button to expand and collapse summary tasks. In addition, you can use this list to display outline levels 1 through 9. When you enter a new task in the task list, it is considered outline level 1. If you indent a task below a level 1 task, it becomes a level 2 task, and so on. For example, if you only want to view the first two levels of your outline, you can use the Outline list to display Outline Level 2 .

Collapsing an outline

NOTE On the View tab in the Data group, hide or display subtasks by selecting the Hide Subtasks or Show Subtasks buttons. To collapse all subtasks at once, in the Data group use the Filter list to filter for Summary Tasks . This procedure only displays the summary tasks and not any other tasks in your task list. Collapse and expand summary tasks in other views, including the Network Diagram view.
