If you are reviewing a project in Project Mode in Edit, is it possible to increase the Playback speed?

Not sure why you would do this but one could pick up the little white pointer with the tiny red triangle under the preview window and move it along manually.
Usually I preview in normal speed so I can examine timing and sounds

It's just that my current project consists of turning almost my complete collection of grandchildren photos into a slideshow (and all grandparents will be aware that any such collection is likely to be very large
). Speeding up the preview is simply to allow rapid checking that no photo is obviously in the wrong place, that all the transitions are there, and such like. It really would save time.

I see....with all those stills what I did once was to put them in order in the library first.

If you're just wanting to check if all the photos & transitions are there, why not just expand the time-line? With stills, you could check for all the images. It would be a little different if you had hundreds of video clips, as only the first frame of a video clip is shown..
To expand it, make sure you're in
Storyboard mode. Then click the little up-arrow, located to the upper left, just below the storyboard mode icon..

A related but opposing question - is there any way to slow down the review playback speed in project mode? I have a lot of things happening in my clip - I don't particularly want to have to drag the arrow along the timeline each time I want to review the clip.
I use VS11Plus. Regards.

The only thing I can think of that you can do to slow down or speed up the playback of the project is to alter the playback speed, but normally this is only applicable to a clip. But if you make your project one large clip you can change the playback speed.
How?
Your project is saved as a VSP file. Start a new project, then insert your VSP into the timeline. The project now sees your VSP as one long clip. Now right click on the clip and adjust the playback speed.
