Gantt view displays tasks on your map as a task list and a Gantt chart. You can add, remove, an change some Task Info directly in this view. A task must have a Start Date and Due Date to appear in the Gantt chart. You can convert any topic without task info into a task by dragging it from the map onto the Gantt chart.

You can convert any map topic without task info into a task by dragging the topic from the map onto the Gantt chart.

Drag it onto the Gantt chart. The task Start and Due dates will be set to the day where you drop the topic, and its Duration is set to 1 day.
You can edit the Task Info to adjust as needed.
You can change some Task Info directly in Gantt view.
Edit any item in the task list to change it. The corresponding map topic will reflect the change.
Drag the Gantt bar for the topic in the chart to change it's Start and Due date.
Drag the left or right end of the Gantt bar to change its Start or Due date, and increase or decrease the task's duration.
You can add dependencies in Gantt view.
A task will always begin at the start of the work day
Exception: a task that is a dependent task can start or end part-way through
a work day.
When you drag a task in the Gantt chart to change its start time, the
start time will snap to the beginning of the day.
Exception: the start time for a dependent task will not move beyond the
position required to honor the dependency.
When you drag the end of a task bar to change its duration, the end
you drag will snap to the closest day boundary.
Exception: the start or end of a dependent task will not move beyond the
position required to honor the dependency .
If the task is not dependent on another task, it’s minimum task duration becomes 1 day. In other words, you cannot drag the end of the task to create a partial-day task. This can only be done by using the task pane to change the task duration.
