One Gantt SDK for every project update workflow

Support project changes through direct task editing, timeline interactions, hierarchy updates, and schedule revisions. Enable teams to maintain project integrity while adapting plans as work progresses.

Edit task values with cell editing

Update task information directly within grid cells for fast and focused changes. Cell editing helps teams modify project data without opening dedicated editing interfaces.

Update specific task fields directly within the project grid
Make quick changes without editing the full task record
Reduce effort when managing large project plans
Improve efficiency for frequent task updates
Support streamlined project maintenance workflows

Cell editing allows direct updates to task values in grid.

Dialog editing provides structured access to task properties.

Manage tasks with dialog editing

Edit multiple task properties from a centralized interface. Dialog editing provides structured access to task details, dependencies, resources, and schedule information.

Update multiple task properties in a single workflow
Organize editing actions through dedicated sections
Manage dependencies and resource assignments together
Ensure data integrity during complex project updates
Simplify task maintenance across large schedules

Adjust schedules with taskbar editing

Modify task dates, duration, progress, and dependencies directly on the timeline. Visual editing helps teams understand schedule impact while making changes.

Update timelines directly within the Gantt Chart view
Adjust task duration and progress visually
Create and modify schedule relationships
Improve project planning through timeline interactions
Reduce effort when refining project schedules

Taskbar editing enables visual schedule adjustments.

Context menus provide quick access to editing operations.

Perform actions with context menus

Access frequently used editing commands directly from the selected task or row. Context menus help teams complete updates without leaving the current view.

Access common task actions quickly
Reduce navigation during schedule updates
Improve user productivity within large projects
Keep editing actions close to the selected task
Support faster project management workflows

Reorganize tasks with row drag and drop

Move tasks and restructure project hierarchies using drag-and-drop interactions. Update project organization without manually changing hierarchy fields.

Reorder tasks directly within the project view.
Move tasks between parent activities.
Simplify project restructuring activities.
Maintain hierarchy relationships visually.
Improve schedule organization as projects evolve.

Drag and drop enables intuitive task reordering.

Undo and redo allows teams to reverse or reapply changes.

Restore changes with undo and redo

Reverse or reapply project updates without recreating task information. Undo and redo actions help teams evaluate changes and recover from unintended edits.

Restore previous project states quickly.
Reapply valid changes after review.
Reduce risk during schedule modifications.
Improve confidence when adjusting project plans.
Support iterative planning and schedule refinement.

Frequently Asked Questions

✅ Can task dependencies be edited directly within the Gantt Chart?

Yes. Dependencies can be created, modified, and managed through visual timeline interactions and editing interfaces, helping teams maintain task relationships while updating project schedules.

✅ Can task hierarchies be reorganized within the Gantt Chart?

Yes. Row drag-and-drop functionality allows tasks to be reordered and moved between different parent activities while maintaining project structure.

✅ How does the context menu improve editing in a Gantt Chart?

The context menu provides instant access to common task actions from the selected row. Teams can complete editing, scheduling, and management operations without leaving the current view-improving productivity and reducing update time.

✅ Can a Gantt Chart support undo and redo operations?

Yes. Undo and redo capabilities allow teams to reverse or reapply recent changes, helping reduce errors and simplify schedule refinement during project planning.

✅ When should I use cell editing versus dialog editing in a Gantt Chart?

Use cell editing for quick updates to individual task values within the project grid. Use dialog editing for a centralized interface to update multiple properties (schedules, dependencies, resources, task details). Choose based on update complexity.

✅ How does taskbar editing help manage project schedules in a Gantt Chart?

Taskbar editing allows users to adjust task dates, duration, progress, and dependencies directly on the timeline. This visual editing approach helps teams understand the impact of schedule changes in real time, making it easier to update project plans while maintaining timeline management and task relationships.
