New in Milestones Professional 2025
What is new in Milestones Professional 2025?

Show curtain in front of task bars
Can a curtain be shown in front of a task bar?

Coded symbols and bars
When importing an MS Project file using the Code Bars and Symbols format, is there a way to have each of the individual task rows within a swim lane show up so that they are on separate rows within the swim lane when you first do the import instead of having to try and individually move each of the tasks to separate rows.

Make a legend as a group
I would like to make a legend I can just drag around, but the standard legend options aren’t flexible enough for my needs.

Transparent text
When I double-click a toolbox symbol, the Text Background is set to Default. How do I set the default?

Copy a toolbox to another schedule
I have created a toolbox that is perfect for my needs. Can I copy it to another schedule?

Scroll-Lock affects arrow keys
I am trying to move symbols to different outlines within the row but holding down shift and then using the arrow to go up or down. This normally works but is not currently working for me.

Set up a default format and toolbox
I want all new schedules to be in a certain format, with only the symbols and connectors I use displayed in the toolbox. Is this possible?

Shade holidays
How do I shade holidays?

Shift all dates
I have a schedule which I used last year for a project. I have a project coming up which starts in a couple of months. The project schedule will be close to identical and I would like to start with an exact copy of the schedule I used, but have it start on a future date. Is this possible?
