Interacting with Gantt Items Via the Title List View 

You can also add a new task directly into a tasklist on the Gantt chart level by clicking to the right of any tasklist title (which will highlight the title line) on the list view, then select the "Add Task" button which will populate next to the fit to screen button. This will then allow to add a new task to the tasklist which is currently selected.

Change the start date and due date of a milestone, tasklist, or task by double clicking the date area in the gantt list view.

Right-click on a task for the option to view the task, edit the task, add a new task to the task list, to change the status of the task, or to delete the task.

Interacting with Gantt charts

You can now edit the schedule of your projects by interacting with Gantt charts. To interact with the Gantt chart, select Turn Edit Mode On, make the desired changes by dragging the milestone and task bars or new dependencies with your cursor, and click Save Changes.

When editing Gantt charts, click and drag the entire bar to change the start and due date of a milestone, tasklist, or task but maintain the duration of these items. Or click and drag the edges of the bar to change the duration of the milestone, tasklist, or task and either the start or due date.

To create new dependencies, hover your cursor over the edge of any task or milestone bar until a circle appears, click the circle and drag the dependency line to the circle associated with the dependent task or milestone bar. To shift dependent tasks and milestones, check the box to Cascade Changes before editing.

Select Cancel Changes to undo any changes made to the Gantt chart.
