To close out remaining work:

1. Review all tasks and milestones in the project schedule that have remaining work (% complete not 100%) to validate that the work is complete, and the project can be closed.
   
   
2. Mark tasks and milestones as complete by clicking in the circle, in any view: Grid, Board, or Timeline.
