Which Tasks Appear
A task appears on the Timeline only when all of the following are true:
- Show In Timeline is set to Yes on the task.
- The task has both a planned start and planned finish date.
- You have permission to view the project and task.
- The project has at least one qualifying task — projects with zero timeline tasks are omitted entirely.
What will not appear

| Missing planned start or finish | Task is hidden |
| Parent/summary tasks without dates | Task is hidden |
| Project has no timeline tasks | Entire project card is omitted |
| Task was removed via the × badge | Bar disappears immediately; task still exists in the project |
