Task, Milesstone, etc activity Tracking

I'm just starting to use Project and am struggling understanding why the administrator doesn't have the ability to track the creation and deletion (on a macro scale if nothing else) of tasks, milestones etc. AND the ability to restore them if accidentally deleted. (Maybe not every edit of the task but the last version before deleted.)  So this is what happened in my test of project.  I spent an afternoon putting together a schedule.  After several hours I added a user as a manager.  That user claims all she did was "look" at the calendar and the task details.  However the next day when I fired up project 2/3rds of the tasks were totally gone.  And I found no way to see a task history to see who or what deleted the tasks.  This is a deal killer in this day and age.  

In my specific case I don't believe the new user (my wife) deleted them. I think they system did somehow. I'm very hesitant in using this in anger if I'm going to lose sleep worrying about tasks mysteriously disappearing with no way to restore some version.  Floors me that the developers would actually delete the database entry for a task rather than just mark it deleted (and by who) at least for some period of time.  Just saying....

      • Tip: How to print the Gantt View

        Though we move from the traditional project management system (using papers) to an online project management system, we still prefer to have a printed copy of the activities/tasks that are to be done in the project. This way, we can carry the to-do lists with us for the meetings and refer when we are offline.

      • Four types of task dependencies

        "Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs."                                                                                                                  - Henry Ford Projects, small or large, are driven by simple work units called tasks. Monitoring standalone tasks might look simple but as the workflow becomes elaborate, tasks may start relying on one another. In project management, this relationship between tasks is termed as "Task Dependencies". Dependency between tasks arise

      • Task Inline Editing Enhancement

        Hi All, Today, we have made an enhancement in task inline editing. In 4.0, task edit is moved in a single screen in a pop-up. We designed this in-order to make the task edit across the product to be the same. Let it be in Feeds, Tasks & My Tasks tab, Calendar & My Calendar tab, a click on the task title will open the popup and user can edit the values. Customers pointed us the inline editing was very useful to them & how much they miss that in 4.0. Based on the feedback, we have rolled out this enhancement.
