Highlighted dependency | A dependency arrow is in bold when you highlight a dependency or task on the task tree to which the dependency applies.  |
Not highlighted dependency | A dependency arrow's color is subdued when a task associated with the dependency is not highlighted.  |

Broken dependencies
If a strong dependency cannot be fulfilled because of other scheduling rules, it is displayed as an orange arrow (soft dependencies don't have a scheduling impact; therefore, they cannot be

For example, a task can be done manually or in locked scheduling mode.

When many tasks are linked by dependencies, and one of the tasks loses both dates (start and end dates), dependencies are saved. The arrow between tasks will temporarily disappear, but you can still check the dependency by switching to the Collapsed display and clicking on a number in a dot next to the task.  The arrow between tasks will appear once you assign at least one date to the task.  |
Out-of-view dependencies
Out-of-view dependencies can't be displayed on the Gantt chart.
