If you have a chain of dependent tasks, you can mass reschedule them on the Gantt chart. Gaps between tasks are preserved when you reschedule tasks in this way.
When you shift one task in the dependency other tasks will follow.
Note
You can add milestone tasks to the dependency chains. However, they don't shift when the tasks in the dependency chain get rescheduled. To move it you have to shift the dependency as a whole.
