🚀 Latest New Gantt Improvements and What’s Coming Next

Hello everyone!
We are back with another update on the new Gantt chart🎉.

Thank you for all the feedback you have been sharing while trying it out and through the community post as well. Your input has helped us prioritise our rollout plan and what to improve. Some of the areas you highlighted most were adding support for cascade sorting, greying out non-working days in the timeline, manual ordering, creation of public snapshots and the ability to export the Gantt chart as a PDF.

✨What is available now
In additional to all the features we have added in the last couple of months (you can catch up on that in this thread), Manual Ordering is now available in the new Gantt as well. You can manually reorder all item types, which is an improvement over the classic version where only tasks could be reordered. Your custom order is preserved and gives you more flexibility in how you organise your work.

📆 What is coming next
Early 2026
We are currently working on adding snapshots, baselines and export to PDF. Once these are available, the new Gantt will become the default view. You will still be able to switch back to the classic version for any features that may not yet be included.
Addition of the critical path, start constraints, showing task previews and other improvements will follow shortly after that.

💬 We want to hear from you
If you have any concerns about the new Gantt becoming the default at that time, please share them with us below.

I just wanted to clarify that when you talk about the new Gantt view becoming the default view that you mean default for the Gantt view, not default over all of the other views, correct?

Lynette Mutungi

@Kristy Schaan correct. New gantt becoming the default specifically refers to what you will see specifically in the gantt view. It will not affect other views and won't make gantt the default view of the entire account.

A few things below

1. I would still love to see the percent complete option to be available on the new gantt.

2. I would love the option of having an "expand button" next to the project bar on the gantt, for seeing the nested tasks. (like it if for tasks & sub tasks) This would be better than always needing to expand on the far left.

3. The status colors on the gantt don't necessarily match the status colors on the gantt. The yellow and the aqua green especially are different

🎄 Dear Wrike Team, 🎄
My Christmas wishlist for the new Gantt 🎅✨

• Critical Path, please. I currently have to jump between classic and new Gantt like it’s multiverse scheduling.
• Critical Path filter. Let us filter to critical-path tasks only — this would be so so handy for focus and reviews.
• More robust critical path logic around holidays. When it breaks because of a holiday, our PMO loses its chill (we manage very complex aerospace missions).
• Successors as a Gantt column. Would make spotting broken logic 10× easier and save us all from dependency-detective mode...

Add these and the new Gantt becomes an instant PM favorite!
Happy Holidays,

— Marcela

Hello everyone!

We’re back with the first New Gantt Chart update of the year.

As part of our continued effort to close the feature gap between the Old and New Gantt, we’re starting the year with several important additions. As a quick reminder, the New Gantt utilises the New Table View, bringing grouping, new filters, automatic rollups and improved performance to the Gantt usage experience.

Whats Available now

In addition to what was added last year, the following features are now also available in the New Gantt Chart;

📸 Public Snapshots- Public Snapshots are now available in the New Gantt, making it easier to securely share timeline views with external stakeholders directly from the improved snapshots creation/management panel.

📐 Default Density Mode for Table View

Previously, only Compact Mode was supported. Default Density Mode is now available in the New Gantt, including:• New task bar sizes (including milestones)• New project and folder line view• New rescheduling endpoints• New dependency endpoints

💬 Details Tooltip for the Task Bar- Similar to what we have in the calendar view, the Details Tooltip for the task bar is now also available in the New Gantt, giving you quick access to key information without opening the task panel.

What is coming next

We’re currently working on:

• PDF export support

• Making the New Gantt the default experience (with Old Gantt remaining available for those who still need it)

• Critical Path support and Start Constraints

If you have feedback on these updates or concerns about the New Gantt becoming the default experience, please share them in this thread or through your account manager/CSM.

Thank you.

Manual ordering is a game changer for reordering all the stuff!! Super ;)

@Lynette Mutungi Thank you! Looking forward to the PDF export feature. The only thing stopping me from using the New Gantt Chart.

I would love love to have something to show how close an item is to being the critical path, currently I play around until it pops up as the critical path and then manually record the slack.
