- You can insert other projects into a project file…or a master project.…For example, suppose a subcontractor…gives you a project file for their part of the project.…You can insert that file into your main project…to see how everything fits together.…Let's scroll down toward the end…of the Home Remodel project in this master project.…Let's say that I want to insert a subproject…that I got from one of my subcontractors…right before the Final Acceptance task.…
In the Task Table…I'm gonna click that Final Acceptance task.…Now I want to head to the Project tab.…On the left end in the Insert section,…there's this big button that says Subproject.…Any guesses what that's gonna do?…Yup, you want to click that button…and then that's opening the Insert Project dialog box.…We're gonna go to the Exercise Files chapter 10 subfolder.…I want to insert this file…Subcontractor_1006.…
I click that file name and then click Insert.…Project inserts the subproject in,…and it looks kinda like a summary task.…In fact, you can work with it like summary tasks…
