As a PM, I can load planning from microsoft project

Project Managers (PM) and other managers (PMA, PMO, PfM, PgM), can load planning data from an XML file compatible with Microsoft Project®—other scheduling tools export the same XML format, like Primavera, SmartSheet, ProjectLibre, etc.

If you use schedule tools for planning, you don’t need to re-enter work package data in PMPeople,  just click the button [Rebaseline] at PLAN > Plan Scope/Schedule/Cost.

Click on ‘Upload’ button to choose an xml file

Edit uploaded file at File validation

Choose [Add New Work Packages] to keep old baseline data and append the new loaded data.

What happens to my existing baseline data when I import a new XML file?
