The selected item will instantly disappear from your timeline and, if you chose to delete it, its details will be removed from the Data tab as well. Right-click and select either Delete or Hide, depending on what you want to do. Select the task, milestone or Swimlane you don't want to show on your timeline anymore. Here's how to hide or delete tasks and milestones directly from your timeline slide: You can either hide them, which means they won't be visible on the graphic but their details will still be available in Data View for your reference, or you can delete them altogether, which means they'll be removed from your data list as well. The Timeline View gives you two options to remove milestones, tasks or Swimlanes from your graphic. Pro tip: You can even create new Swimlanes straight from the timeline view - to do so, either click the +Swimlane button on the top or right-click on the slide, just as you would with tasks and milestones. If nothing is selected, the new item will be placed at the end, after the last task or milestone. Note: If you have a milestone or task selected when clicking Add, the new item added will be placed on the timeline after the selected object. In both cases, depending on what you choose, a new task or milestone will appear on your graphic, which you can then edit and customize as you wish right from the Timeline View. There, click on Add either Milestone or Task. Right-click on the slide or on a timeline object to open the shortcut menu. There are two ways you can add more tasks or milestones in Timeline View, and both of them are just as simple:Ĭlick on the +Task or +Milestone buttons on the top bar. For instance, on our graphic, here's how the task bar and dates changed only by editing the task duration from '6 days' to '3 days': Quick tip: When editing a date, % complete or task duration, related objects on the timeline will instantly update to reflect those changes.
