Project Online for beginners
Hi,
I'm new to MS project online. I have subscription level 3, which provides also desktop client app. I have created a project in the desktop app and now trying to figure out how to import and work with Project Online. It's not straightforward and not very intuitive.
Mainly for now I look for answers on how to import the project , how to use check in/out options, how to sync so it will reflect the changes made in desktop app, how to create projetc site and what is it good for?
I apreciate to have some kind of a routine on how to I raised above.
Thanks

If you are looking for free training on Project Online, I doubt you will find any. If you are willing to spend a little bit of money, I would recommend you order the following book:
https://www.amazon.com/Managing-Enterprise-Projects-Project-Microsoft/dp/1543988954/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2YR1M9L9CW09J&keywords=Dale+Howard+project&qid=1667837901&sprefix=dale+howard+project%2Caps%2C103&sr=8-1
This is a book that I co-authored at my previous employer. It is a very in-depth book and will teach you best practices on how to use Project Online with Microsoft Project. Hope this helps. - Also, I should have mentioned that if you have specific questions, please ask them in this community group. Thanks!
Hey Maxim1979 ,
Here is an old blog series I did for getting started with Project Online - this might help, see what you think: https://pwmather.wordpress.com/2014/07/22/getting-started-with-projectonline-round-up-ps2013-office365-project-ppm-sharepointonline-pm-sp2013/
Some of the screens might have slightly changed since I wrote this 8 years ago, certainly the Office 365 tenant admin screens have changed and also where you change the permission mode for PWA - that is now in the PWA Settings page.
Any queries, please let me know.
Paul
