Changing dates

How do i move all the dates forward in a project by say 3 months when my end date changes - without losing any slack time?

RE: changing dates

Hi Claire

Thank you for your question. One way to approach this that works best when progress has not been recorded in your plan is to turn on the Analysis toolbar (View > Toolbars > Analysis) and click on the Adjust dates button then enter the new start date for your project.

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew
