    1. When you need to update a baseline of a project, you can restore it to become a normal project (In menu Project -> Maintain Baseline). Update it. Then convert it to baseline.

  3. Hi,
    I am a new starter and faced a problem with changing the start day. I wanted to provide a schedule in P6, the actual date of the project is 30-October-2017, while when I launched the P6 it took the start date as 27-Nov-2017, I tried to change it to 30-October-2017, I failed to do so, need instruction.
