Update From Design
This function will allow you to update activities based on a new or modified design, while maintaining all schedule constraints, precedences, manual attribute values, and resource allocations.
Instructions
On the Gantt menu, click Update From Design.
Note:  Upon opening, the panel will list everything that is in the project, with the action set to Don’t Change by default.
Follow these steps:
-
Select the objects you want to change.
There are two ways you can select the objects that you want to change, pick the objects from the list, or use the Selection criteria buttons on the right side of the panel.
Selecting items from the list
To highlight multiple list items at once, use the left mouse option in combination with the Shiftkey (this is for items that are adjacent in the list; for non-adjacent items, use the Ctrlkey and the left mouse option).
