Shift Objects

• Time Shift
• Location Shift
• Location Shift (from whiteboard)

Use the Context Menu or the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + S to shift one more Tasks from one location to another in three different ways: across the timeline of a Pull Plan, to another Swimlane (either as duplicates or the originals), or between the empty whiteboard space or Boards and Plans.

😎  Pro Tip: After Shifting, don't click on anything else and just press F on your keyboard to focus or jump to the newly-Shifted Tasks. 

Time Shift

Figure 1. Time shift several Tasks from one week to another.

1. Multi-select the Tasks you would like to shift
   
   
2. Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + S (or Command + S on a Mac) or find the option in the Context Menu of the selection

✏️  Note: Shifting Tasks by weeks will maintain the orientation of the Tasks (a Task on Wednesday will still be on a Wednesday), but if you choose to shift Tasks by days, you may need to adjust it to respect any non-working days.
