"Show on task" previews suddenly not showing
Hi This has worked fine up until last week. We have several planners with PowerPoint documents attached to the task cards. Up until last week we could see the previews on the task card. Now, none of the previews are showing for any of the users. Just the PPT logo. This is happening both in the Teams app (Mac) and browser. If the task is viewed on a mobile device, then the preview shows as expected. Other image file types such as JPG etc. still work OK. Any ideas? Thanks
Can GUESTS access t Premium Plan in Teams?
I created a Teams Team and want to manage a premium plan project therein. I have the Planner-Plan 1 license. One external supplier is a guest in my Team but he cannot see the Premium plan. Is this by design or is there any wrong setting in my system? I could not find any information on this in the Microsoft documentation. Facts The guest user is part of the teamBetter customizability/themes for planner
There is a big issue with visibility of task boxes on dark theme. The contrast of the box edge with dark background is very low. it very hard to discern the task box edges. There is practically no customizability for how things look in planner. all there is, is an option to change the banner color which is not very helpful. If there was an option to change the default color of boxes that would help immensely on visibility.
Unable to see tasks assigned to me in Planner Premium in the "My Tasks" Teams tab
Hi, We're currently developing an application in Project for the Web (soon transitioning to Planner Premium) for a department at the company I work for. One of the key reasons we chose Project for the Web is its integration with Planner in Microsoft Teams. However, I recently discovered that only tasks from plans created in the default environment are visible in the "My Tasks" view in Planner. While I can see the plans in the "My Plans" tab, none of the tasks assigned to me appear in "My Tasks". I've read about workarounds using Power Automate to mirror tasks into Planner, but this approach isn't sustainable for long-term use. Does anyone have more information about the roadmap or whether Microsoft plans to support task visibility from non-default environments in the near future? Thank you in advance! Kind regards, Nicolas
Quick Look is not showing attachments
Hi, I had many plans the were switched from Project for the Web to Planner on August 1, 2025. In those plans, I've noticed that quick look does not show the paper clip icon to indicate that a task has an attachment. Is this a glitch, or a feature? Thank you, Ben KlawsonMy Day - inconsistent and confusing
The My Day feature is one "potentially" one of the best hidden gems for productivity. I add tasks to My Day in To Do and then drag them onto my calendar in Outlook. But the integration with Planner is awful! My Day in Planner shows tasks from To Do + Planner 🚨 But I can't drag to order them by priority My Day in To Do for Web shows tasks from To Do + tasks in Planner I've added whilst in To Do 🚨 But it doesn't display tasks I have added to My Day in Planner My Day in Outlook only shows tasks only from To Do 🚨 But not tasks I've added to My Day from Planner It'd be amazing if this worked as you'd expect. Please let me know how I can provide this detailed feedback beyond the feedback portal.
Missing functions in Planner for a Project Manager
Looking at integrating Planner as the company project management tool. One big issue is you can't create your own templates of a standard project plan. You can by pass this by creating a plan and naming it template and then coping when required. The biggest frustration is the inability to reset the now copied plan to a new start date without manually going into every task. Takes way to much time, can't integrated Planner until this is resolved. This function is in MS Project so why not Planner? Has anyone found a work around that does not involve Flow?
Scroll wheel zoom in Timeline
Hello, I am wondering why mouse ctrl + mousewheel zoom doens't zoom in and out on the Timeline. Right now it is Standard Microsoft functionality where it scale the whole application in percentages. Second to this features, I would like to suggest a memory function to last know zoom. When switching back and forth from other views to Timeline, it reset the view so you have to navigate to the zoom slider and set your view.
Improving Navigation and Custom Views in Planner
Hey everyone, I wanted to throw out a couple of ideas that could make Microsoft Planner even better! Linking My Day Tasks to the Actual Plan: Right now, when you use My Tasks > My Day, it would be awesome if the tasks were linked directly to the actual plan instead of being grayed out. Having to switch views just to see the plan context is a bit tedious, and it would be much faster if we could easily access the plan right from My Day. Saving/Pinning Views (Grid vs. Board): With the July update, the default is now Board View, but it’d be great if we could pin or save our preferred view (like Grid) as the default. I know everyone has different preferences, and being able to set and save a default view would save a lot of time clicking around. Would love to hear if anyone else feels the same way or if you've found workarounds for these issues!
Can't Remove Plan I created attached to Team
We're in a GCC High Tenant. I created a plan and associated it with a Team. I'm not the owner of that Team. After adding the plan to that Team, I thought it would be better to move it to a different team to avoid the mass notifications (that Planner owners can't control and no one can turn off comment notifications). Turns out, I can't move it because I'm not the Team Owner? Why am I not able to delete a plan I created? What if a user attached the plan to the wrong team or the plan needs to switch or it just needs to be deleted all together? Why should someone need to be a team owner? Why can't we control comment notifications and/or who overall is notified? The original team was added because the plan is associated to a Channel in that team. That channel is only relevant to certain individuals. We can customize team notifications by channel... why not planner notifications? If I'm missing something, please let me know. I'm all ears and willing to be wrong, but if I'm not, please consider this feedback Microsoft.
