    Hi George thanks for commenting in our community! It sounds like you might be trying to create a gantt chart type of document? Feel free to search our Template Gallery to see if you can see a template that fits your needs.

    If you see the three stacked circles on the top right hand corner of the template preview this indicates that you can upload a data file to use with the template. It looks like this

    Hope this helps! Let me know if you are looking for something more specific. Sharing a screen shot of what you are trying to create would be helpful.

    Good Afternoon Whittney

    Thank you for the follow up :). To clarify we have a Gantt chart built in Microsoft Project. Is there a way to import that chart and turn it into a flow chart?

    Thanks again for your help.

    Hi George! I am not familiar with Microsoft Project but if you open up a new Lucidchart doc you should see the "Import Data" button on the bottom left hand side of the document. That menu will show you the current import options that we have available. You could also insert your Gantt chart into a Lucidchart doc as an image but you will not be able to make edits to it.
