# Basic Task Editing

There are several ways to interact with and edit tasks and these are listed below.

### Open Task Property Pane

The task property pane can be opened by selecting a task (single click) and clicking the Edit button:

![](/files/TiWusVb5nhIv2w9D5Bf0)

This launches the Edit Property pane on the right:

![](/files/BYs7yFYFf4FaoPfhbgiw)

The property pane can also be launched by **double-clicking** a task.

The property pane can be closed by either clicking the ![](/files/tDHvf5u9N02enBJSnfWG)icon on the top right, or clicking outside of the pane.

### Change Task Start Date/End Date

Hover over the start of the task and a cursor appears to indicate that it can be dragged:

![](/files/iQDhZfUpxU7iXYwhP3E2)

Hold down the mouse button, and you can change the start date of the task. Similarly, you can change the end date of the task by doing the same.

You can also drag the entire task to a new point in time which will change the start and end dates of the task in one movement:

![](/files/RHiuEUGkJXte3jn04P78)

### Change task order within Project

A task can be moved up and down the project by selecting it in the Task Details Grid and dragging it up or down:

![](/files/GBbOMUyAlYrW30GYF022)

This will also update its WBS code. Similarly, an entire project can be moved in one drag-drop action:

![](/files/4tlIhoqRBGgi0peQcvxc)

In this case, all WBS codes for affected tasks will be updated.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://365automate.gitbook.io/365automate-gantt/basic-task-editing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
