Undo tab

The Undo tab is located in the bottom right corner of a screen, next to the Properties and Legend tabs.

The Undo tab lists the most recently performed actions since the chart was initialized. You can return to any of the actions listed in this tab, which cancels subsequent actions.

Undone actions are not deleted from the list, you can always return to any of them within one work session.

To move through Undo tab list you can:

  • use Undo and Redo buttons (blue arrows) from the toolbar,

  • use hotkeys <CTRL+Z> to cancel an action and <CTRL+Y> to restore it,

  • left click on the row required - downstream actions will be undone.

Legend tab

The Legend tab is located in the bottom right corner of a screen, next to the Properties and Undo tabs.

  • The top part of the Legend tab displays the colors, assigned to the task bars during custom shadings setting (more details see here).

  • The bottom part of the Legend tab displays the hatch patterns, visually identifying types and positions of different delays in the Gantt.

Note, that the Legend tab lists only custom defined colors, automatic shadings do not appear in this legend.
