Selectively Remove Progress dialog
You use the Selectively Remove Progress dialog to remove progress from tasks according to the progress period in which the progress was recorded. You may want to do this if progress relating to a recent progress period has been recorded against tasks incorrectly. Once you have used this dialog to remove the incorrectly-marked progress from tasks, you can then progress the tasks correctly to resolve the issue.
The dialog displays a list of the progress periods in which progress has been recorded. You can remove progress relating to the most recently-used progress period; from the two most-recently-used progress periods; from the three most-recently-used progress periods; and so on. If you select a progress period other than the most recently-used, all later progress periods are selected automatically.
If you remove progress from a task with allocations, progress is removed from all the task's allocations as well as from the task, unless the task itself has no progress but its allocations do, in which case the allocations retain their progress.
How to access the Selectively Remove Progress dialog
The Selectively Remove Progress control that you use to access the Selectively Remove Progress dialog does not appear on the Ribbon by default; you need to customise the Ribbon and add the control to the Ribbon if you want to remove progress by progress period. We recommend that you add the control to the Progress group, on the Home tab.
To access the Selectively Remove Progress dialog, on the Home tab, in the Progress group, click Selectively Remove Progress.
