The new Microsoft Planner for the web (https://planner.cloud.microsoft) brings together the simplicity of Microsoft To Do, the collaboration of Planner, the power of Microsoft Project, and the intelligence of Copilot for Microsoft 365 into a simple, scalable solution that spans individual task management to professional project management.
With this rollout, we will update the existing web version of Planner to the new Planner. The new Planner for the web will match Planner in Teams to enable your users to seamlessly switch between Teams and web.
A Microsoft 365 license is required to use the new Planner.
When this will happen:
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-October 2024 and expect to complete by late November 2024.
How this will affect your organization:
The following features will not be available at launch but will be available by early 2025:
- Open plans associated with a Loop task list
- Board view in the Assigned to me view
- Add Assigned to me tasks or a plan to an external calendar with an iCalendar link. NOTE: Existing iCalendar links will continue to work. New iCalendar link creation is not supported, and existing iCalendar links cannot be disabled while this feature is not available.
- Undoing the deletion of a task
As part of our efforts to simplify Planner, these existing features are not available in the new Planner due to low usage:
- Charts for pinned plans in Planner Hub
- While you were away notifications
- Activity log of a task’s creation, assignments, and completion date in the task comments.
- Links to group members, Microsoft Outlook conversations, and Microsoft OneNote notebook (you can still access these links in Outlook)
- Menu option to Leave plan
- Suggested attachments
- Charts view and Schedule view on the Assigned to me page
- Customized backgrounds for plans
