Copying and Pasting Milestones

You can copy and paste milestones from one WBS element to another WBS element using Edit » Copy and Edit » Paste. If you have two Integrated Planning windows open, you can copy and paste milestones between the windows. When you copy milestones, MPM automatically assigns unique Milestone IDs to the new milestones. Copying milestones is a fast way to enter new milestones if the milestones are similar. You can also copy individual cells. Copying cells is described in Copying and Pasting Cells.

To copy and paste a milestone, complete the following steps:

  1. Select a single milestone by clicking on the row number in the left most column, or select multiple milestones by holding down the left mouse button and dragging across the row numbers.

You can select multiple milestones across two or more WBS elements.

  1. Place the milestone(s) on the clipboard by doing one of the following:

Cutting and Pasting

If you want to remove milestones from one WBS element and place them in another WBS element, you can use the Cut and Paste commands. The procedure is the same as the procedure outlined above for copying and pasting, except you use the Cut command instead of the Copy command.
