(highlight:: The favorites list is a great way to have a shortlist of the active projects or areas handy so you can quickly jump to them.
To add an Outline line to the favorites list, first, you’ll need to zoom in on it. Then, click on the star icon in the header area.)

Note that the favorite list is also appearing in a hierarchical format. So, if you add both a parent and a child to the favorites, the child will be listed as a subline of the parent in the favorites.

Another point to consider when designing the Outline hierarchy is the inheritance feature of the Outline. Each line in the Outline can take a number of properties. These properties normally cascade down. So, if you group tasks of similar nature, you can only set the properties at the parent level and all lines under this parent line will inherit these properties.
