Display Content on the Gantt Status Bar

The Gantt status bar sits between the timeline scale and the chart viewport. It provides at-a-glance context while you navigate through the schedule.

By default, the status bar surfaces a compact summary of the currently selected task. You can instead spotlight project milestones—ideal when you want to keep key delivery dates in view regardless of which task is highlighted.
