Prevent members from leaving plans in Planner?
Ok, thanks.
What about re-adding a member to a plan that they have opted to leave. Say this is done pretty quickly as they realise they've left by mistake. What should happen under those circumstances - would their conversation contributions, tasks, etc. reappear in the plan?
Hey Mike!
If a member of a public plan opts to leave the plan on accident, they will remain within the plan and a blue "Join" button will appear at the top. If the member clicked "Leave plan" on accident and it's a public plan, they should be able quickly rejoin.
Regardless, when a member leaves a plan their data/tasks/conversations are not deleted although the name will appear as 'Former member'. If a member re-joins, they will still have all of that data connected to them.
Does this help?
Thanks,

Yes, that does help, thank you.
Just to confirm - the data will remain if they leave any type of plan - it doesn't matter if it's public or private?
Also - does the data expire, or could they leave and then then rejoin a month later and the data would still be there for them?
Correct, it will still show that someone was assigned/commented/created/etc. but it'll say "Former member". This data shouldn't expire, but I haven't verified this for a longer period of time. Let me know if this is a point that you need verified and I can try to figure it out!
Will do Joanna - thanks again for your time.
