When can be used the Project Information dialog?


Question Link
Answer

The Project Information can be used when your plans change, you can change this initial project information at any time in the Project Information dialog box. However, if you have applied actual data, such as actual start or finish dates, to tasks, the tasks will not be rescheduled based on the updated project information. In addition, if you have put constraints on tasks, moving the project's start or finish date won't necessarily move all tasks relative to the new date.
