Can You please suggest how we can track the baseline plan against the progress in lucid timeline?

Example if the task is scheduled to be completed by January 31 and the task had to be extended until Feb 14 then how can this be indicated in Lucid. 

If the task is extended then extended part appears in a different colour. Is there any feature to track this?

Hi @vijitshri 

While Lucidchart doesn't have a specific feature for automatically tracking baseline vs. actual progress

You can Create Two Timelines, Color Coding, indicate Shape Overlap, Add Notes or Callouts to get this accomplished basically by customizing your need.

Moreover, this use case highlights an interesting opportunity for product enhancement, and you can submit this idea to the Lucidchart team to consider implementing a more streamlined solution in the future.

Finally, for more information on how Lucid manages feedback via this community, take a look at this post:

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards
