Quick summary
Moving a task in Microsoft Project lets you reorder your project schedule by dragging tasks to a new position within the same summary group. You select the task by its Task ID number, drag it to the target row, and drop it to update the plan instantly.
Steps
- Open your Project file and navigate to the task you want to move.
- Once your task is ready to move, look for the thick line indicator — then drag the task up or down to its new position.
- Click the Task ID number in the leftmost column to select the task.
- Release to drop the task into its new position — this works best when moving within the same summary task.
