Import

Move from TeamGantt without redrawing a thing.

NeoGantt imports TeamGantt’s CSV export, so each TeamGantt project becomes a chart with its groups, tasks, milestones, dates, colours and progress in place. It suits teams who used TeamGantt mainly to draw timelines and show them to clients; dependencies, assignees, hours and notes stay behind.

Step by step

From TeamGantt project to NeoGantt chart in five steps.

  1. Export the project from TeamGantt as CSV. Open the project and use TeamGantt’s export menu to download a CSV file. It’s one file per project, so repeat for each one you want to bring over. If the option has moved, TeamGantt’s help centre covers exporting.
  2. Create a NeoGantt account. Sign up free with Google or email.
  3. Open Settings, then Import. Choose one or more CSV files. They’re read in your browser first, and nothing is uploaded yet.
  4. Check the preview. Each file shows its project name and how many groups, tasks and milestones it contains. Rows NeoGantt can’t use (a task with no start date, say) are listed as warnings so you know what’s missing.
  5. Import, then open the chart. Each file becomes a chart in your organisation, named after the TeamGantt project, with an Open link next to it.
Field by field

What comes across, and what stays in TeamGantt.

NeoGantt reads the columns it has a use for and ignores the rest. Anything tied to dependencies, people or hours has nowhere to land, because NeoGantt doesn't track those.
In the TeamGantt CSVIn NeoGantt
Project nameThe chart’s name
GroupsGroups. Nested groups are flattened to one level and named “Parent / Child”, with their tasks inside.
Tasks and milestonesTasks and milestones, on the same start and end dates
Task colourThe closest colour in NeoGantt’s palette. Colours it doesn’t recognise fall back to the default.
Progress (%)Progress, with progress tracking switched on for that chart
Predecessors and successorsNot imported. NeoGantt has no dependencies.
Assigned peopleNot imported. There are no assignees or workloads.
Estimated and actual hoursNot imported. There’s no time tracking.
Notes, comments, baselines, pointsNot imported. Comments start fresh in NeoGantt.
Before you switch

Four differences you'll notice in the first hour.

Imported charts keep weekends in

TeamGantt schedules across calendar days, so NeoGantt switches weekends on for imported charts. Otherwise every task that spans a weekend would come in with a shorter duration than it had in TeamGantt. Turn weekends off per chart when you're ready to count working days.

Nothing reschedules itself

Without dependencies, moving one task doesn't push the next. You drag a group to move everything in it, or shift the whole plan in one go. For most client-facing plans that's fine. For a tightly linked build schedule, it may not be.

One level of grouping

Deeply nested TeamGantt projects arrive with their sub-groups promoted to the top level. The names keep the hierarchy readable, but you may want to merge a few.

Holidays are yours to add

Named non-working periods (public holidays, a Christmas shutdown) don't come across in the import. Add them once per chart and durations skip them from then on.

Who should switch, and who should stay

Stay on TeamGantt if your team runs on dependencies, workload views or time tracking. NeoGantt has none of them and isn’t going to pretend otherwise.

Switch if what you mostly do in TeamGantt is draw a timeline and show it to a client. TeamGantt’s Base plan is $59 a month for one manager, ten collaborators and five projects, and its view-only link for people outside your account needs a paid plan. NeoGantt’s Small plan is $15 a month for up to five people with unlimited charts, and share links work on every plan, Free included. The side-by-side comparison has the full feature and pricing detail.

If you’re undecided, import one finished project and one live one, then send the live one’s share link to a friendly client. An afternoon tells you whether the missing pieces are ones you’d miss.

Import questions

Can I import several TeamGantt projects at once?

Yes. Choose as many CSV files as you like in one go. Each file becomes its own chart, and you see the group, task and milestone counts for every file before anything is saved.

Can I import from Excel, Microsoft Project or Asana?

No. TeamGantt's CSV export is the only format NeoGantt imports. Anything else is rebuilt by hand, which is quicker than it sounds: you draw tasks straight onto the timeline.

Is import available on the Free plan?

Yes, but Free holds up to five charts. Import your live projects first; a bigger back catalogue needs a team plan, which has no chart limit.

Can I export back to CSV later?

No. NeoGantt exports PDF only. If you might need a plan as spreadsheet data again, keep the TeamGantt CSV files you exported.
