Edit daily effort from Workload view

You can only edit Work by Day when the Day time period is selected. Week and Month periods show your saved allocations as aggregated totals.

To edit daily effort from Workload view:

1. Open a Workload view and set the time period to Day.
2. In the view settings, click Modify work by day. A Modifying work by day badge appears, and a banner shows at the bottom of the view.
3. Click a task's effort cell on any day and type a new value, such as 2h.
4. Keep the Keep Task Effort toggle on to hold the task's total estimate steady while the other days adjust. Turn it off to let the total change and keep the daily values you enter.
5. Click Save to apply your changes.

Moving, resizing, scheduling from the Backlog, or unscheduling a task can change the dates its allocation uses. Review a task's daily values after you change its schedule.
