This clearly shows that there is a thing called "sub tasks" in planner. I'm not seeing that at all even though I am paying for project plan 3 which should have this. I know I have also seen discussions/videos of creating dependencies within planner as well. Here is an article describing how to use dependencies in planner:

BarrettM1610 Correct. You can create dependencies and subtasks in Planner Premium but only if you use the Planner app in Teams (or go directly to Project for the Web). If you don't see the possibility of using Dependencies or subtasks in Planner Premium in Teams, my guess is that the Project Plan 3 subscription has not actually been applied to your M365 account.
LH_B123 Thank you again for the quick reply. I have been working with my tech folks and see that I have and that we are paying for project plan 3. The problem is the planner in my Teams does not look like it does in these videos. I have the new planner icon but no copilot, no "...", or any way that I see to access the other features.
Here is a screenshot of what the new planner bar should look like with some of these features (taken from online msft sources):
Here is what it looks like in my Teams:
The grid view from msft looks like this:
My grid view doesn't look anything like this. No depends, no effort, no subtask creation.
I'm just trying to figure out if ppl are actually using these features or if this is just some demo of future features. Do you see and can use these features in your planner?
- Yes we can see them and have been using these features ever since they came out approx 5-6 months.
- My support ppl are telling me this is just project online. When I create a project online and open on the web, it opens to http://www.project.microsoft.com. When I open a planner on the web it takes me to http://www.planner.cloud.microsoft.com. I am skeptical that this is the "new planner" because you've been able to do this in project for a long time and all the marketing screenshots show planner within Teams using these features.
When you open a plan that has dependencies, does it open to the planner web or project web?
