# Create and edit a project plan

> [HTML Version](create-plan.html)

You can create a project plan if you are the project manager or have [permissions to edit the project plan](project-access-and-roles.md#roles). To do this, open the project card and go to the **Project** **Schedule** tab. Further actions depend on whether the project is based on a specific [type](project-types.md) or not:

1. If the project is not template-based, click **Create Plan**. Then [add project plan tasks](create-plan-items.md) and [define relationships](plan-items-links.md) between them.

2. In a template-based project, you will see a plan copied from the project type template. Click **Edit** to update it. Modify the task list, timelines, and assignees.

The plan will be available for editing either within the tab or in a separate window, depending on the [settings](project-plan-widget.md) configured by the administrator.

Using the toolbar above the plan, you can:

- [Import a plan](import-export-plan.md#import).

- [Add new tasks](create-plan-items.md).

- [Modify tasks](change-plan-tasks.md).

- [Set relationships between tasks](plan-items-links.md).

3. [Save and publish the plan](publish-project-plan.md).

If versioning is enabled for the project type, saving changes to a published plan will create a new draft. You will be able to track the plan’s change history and work with its versions.
