Creating a Project (Planner)
I created a new project in Planner using "Use an existing plan from this team". After it created the project, it named it with the same name as the original with a (1) after the name. I renamed the project and remove all of the existing tasks, since I wanted to start clean. However, it not only removed them from the new project but it also removed them from the original project I made the new one from. I think that that behavior is amazingly ridiculous, however... My question is: is there anyway to recover the deleted tasks from the original?
- Yeah, it’s a missing feature for sure but I’m sure it’s coming! Please go vote here:

- Hi!
When you select “use from existing” you just add the same plan, hence deleting something from it will delete it everywhere else that plan is used. You can create a new one (the other option) or use the copy plan feature! Read my blog post about how to do this here:

AdamAdam, thanks for the reply. I get that now. My question is, is there anyway to recover the tasks that were deleted?
- Sorry, missed that last thing 🙂
No, you can’t unfortunately
