Microsoft Project Removing Sub Projects From Master Projects
Have you needed to manage your master or sub projects – if you need help, check out this repost of Joseph Yin’s post. Contact us with any additional questions.
Recently, I came across the following solution on how to properly remove sub-projects from a master plan and the sub-projects’ type get set back to “Project” again.
To properly remove subproject plans from an existing Master plan, please follow the steps below:
- Open the master project
- Select the subproject and right mouse click on “Information” to open the Information window
- In the Information window, select the “Advanced” tab
- On the Advanced tab, deselect the checkbox “Link to project” and click “OK”
- When prompted to save changes to the subproject, click “Yes”
- Select the subproject row and delete the row
- When prompted, select the “Continue – Delete and it’s subtasks” choice and click “OK”.
- Verify that the subproject row is removed from the Master project plan
- Repeat Step 2 to 8 to remove other subproject plans as needed
- Once the subproject removals are complete, Save/Publish/Check-in the Master project plan
- Open the subproject plan(s)
- Save/Publish/Check-in the subproject plan(s)
Hope this helps and Enjoy.
