Moving an end date
Is there a way to move the end date for a project, keep all the task durations locked, and see the effect on the dates for the preceding tasks? At the moment, when I change the end date, it simply changes the duration of the last task.

I'm not sure I'm fully understanding your question. Are you stating that you have project settings turned on and you want to see the affect changing a task has on it's successors? There are a few different ways you could track this:
-to understand which tasks are successors (list that line as a predecessor), you can create a column with the following formula: =JOIN(SUCCESSORS(), ", ")
-to see the the impact of a change, you can set/reset baseline settings. That way, you can see the effect a change (or changes) has had since you set the baseline.
-another way to highlight changes is to turn on the "Highlight Changes" option in the toolbar to highlight what cells have been changed (directly, via predecessor, or cell link) in a given period (hour, week, etc.)
If I'm missing your question altogether here, feel free to provide further context and/or screenshots of what you're working on (with sensitive data redacted).
Hope this helps!:)
