Save file as chart or template?

Answer:

Whether to save as a chart or template depends on your goal.

If you want to save all entered project/task data, including column text, Gantt bars, and milestones, you will want to save as a chart.

If you only want to retain the format of the schedule, and not the project/task steps or start/end dates, then save as a template.
