Changes that you make on the Schedule and Task panes are shown immediately so that you can view the effect of your changes before saving them. Changes are not saved until you click Save.

You can restrict editing of Task-related field sets by designating specific field sets as read-only. For more information, see "Project Task Gantt Settings and Preferences".

Note

When editing fields, a red border is displayed around the field if you have entered invalid data. For instance, if you set the End date earlier than the Start date. When this occurs, hover over the field to display the error message.
