TRANSCRIPTEvery word of the video, as text.

Schedules gain activities and lose them, often in the same meeting. Here is adding, adding many, and deleting cleanly.

Edit holds the adds: Add activity, Add milestone, and Add many… for a whole list. Add activity puts a row under the selected one, its name ready. Type, then Enter.

Right-click a row to add above or below it. The blank row at the bottom adds too. Add many takes a list, one per line, each with its duration. They go after the selected row.

Delete asks first, politely. With Relink ticked, its predecessors join its successors, and the chain holds. For several, pick their row numbers and press Delete. In a cell, Delete merely clears the cell.

That was adding and deleting. Next in the Guide: indent and outdent, where a list becomes an outline.
