Select the issue name and drag it up or down to reorder it. If the issue has child issues, they’ll remain with their parent issue. Your changes will be reflected in the board and list views as well.
To reschedule an issue, select the entire schedule bar and drag it forwards or backwards. If the issue has child issues, they’ll move with it.
To change the duration of an issue, select and drag the handles at either end of the schedule bar.
If your issue doesn’t have a start or due date yet, you can add the dates directly to the timeline. Hover your cursor over the timeline until you see the correct start date, then click to add a schedule bar.
