What to do when there is no ’Edit’ button?

If you're unable to find the 'Edit' button in your Gantt chart, this article will help you identify potential causes and help you resolve the issue.

Always edit setting

Begin with attempting to move Work items directly on your chart. If you can move them, navigate to the ’Work item parameters' -> ’Work items Sidebar’ and ensure the field Always Edit (No Sidebar) is set to NO. This setting will allow the 'Edit' button to reappear, ensuring you can modify Work Items only when explicitly clicking the button. If this does not resolve the issue, continue to the next steps.

Read-only settings

Another possible reason might be the Read only setting. To check this, go to ’Work item parameters’, scroll down to the ’Advanced’ section and confirm that the field Read-only is set to NO.

Maybe there really is no ’Edit’ button

Please note that if you are using a server-dependent project and your Gantt chart version is 22.4.0 or earlier, it is important to note that the absence of the 'Edit' button is expected behavior. The 'Edit' functionality was introduced in later versions, so upgrading your Gantt chart may be necessary. You can check the version in the bottom right corner of your Gantt chart.
