TRANSCRIPTEvery word of the video, as text.

The Gantt viewer on PC.o: the schedule as bars in a tab of its own, and a way to show it without an account.

Click a row's Gantt icon: the chart opens in a new tab. Allow pop-ups if asked. Grid on the left, bars on the right, the data date dotted, menus across the top.

An activity's card, one click away: dates and durations, then tabs for predecessors, successors, cost and quantity. Group folds the tree to its top level with Collapse All, and opens it again with Expand All.

The funnel filters: date range, float at or below zero, longest path. Clear Filters brings it all back. Longest path keeps the activities the schedule flags as its longest path. The rest steps aside, briefly.

View hides the logic lines or the WBS rows, and brings them back. Columns picks what you see. The magnifiers zoom the timeline in five steps, week to half-year. Week is as close as it comes.

To show a schedule to someone without an account, use the row's share icon: Create Shared Link. Set a password if you like, choose whether cost values travel with it, then Create. Discretion is optional.

Copy the link. Return to change the password or delete it; the icon stays green while it lives. Whoever opens it sees this card first, then the chart, and nothing else of your account. Quite right.

That was the Gantt viewer. Next in the Guide: Excel look-aheads and Excel schedules, made from a schedule in this very viewer.
