What does compressing the schedule do?

The "Compress Schedule" option found in the Scheduling Toolbar  is similar to marking Schedule Tasks as ASAP. However, while marking a Schedule Task as ASAP is typically done on a task-by-task basis, compressing the Schedule eliminates all chronological gaps that may exist in that Schedule so that all tasks in the Schedule will begin as soon as possible based on their predecessor settings. Any tasks not connected to other tasks via a predecessor relationship will not be moved during compression.
