# Set tasks visibility in gantt timeline

## Overview: task visibility in the Gantt timeline

The Schedule module can display tasks that have a start and end date from several modules. Task visibility settings let you show only the task types you need in your personal view.

Hidden tasks are not deleted; they remain in their original module.

Any project role can adjust their own visibility.
* You can find the menu at **Schedule** - eye icon (task visibility settings).
* This changes only your view of the schedule. Other users are unaffected.

|| All users can adjust their own task visibility in the schedule. This setting only affects the current user's view.

## How to edit your timeline view

1. Go to the **Schedule** module in your project.
2. In the top toolbar, click the **eye icon** (task visibility settings).
3. Select the task types you want to see: **Schedule tasks** (created in the schedule), **General tasks** (created in the table overview), and **Module tasks** (from other modules, for example checklists).
4. Close the menu to apply your changes. The schedule refreshes and shows only the selected types.
