Tip If you need more room on your screen to edit Tasks, click the blue arrow at the top of the Task Explorer. This will cause the entire left hand part of the screen (the Task Explorer and the Resources Explorer to collapse.

To edit a Task double click on the Task Name.

Tasks that are flagged as Deprecated can either be hidden or will display as faded, depending on the preferences set in the Edit View Dialog.
