Restore or recover deleted Plan (where O365 Group was NOT deleted)

I know that if there are Plans associated with an O365 Group and that Group is deleted, the Plans are also deleted. If the Group is restored/recovered, then the Plan(s) is(are) also restored. However, in the case of a Plan that is deleted without deleting the O365 Group, is there any way to recover that? The deletion dialog states that "You are about to permanently delete this plan and all of its tasks" but, invariably, users click right through without reading or understanding the warning.

      Is it coming any soon??

      With an ability to choose who can/can't delete the tasks or at least the creator gets notified on a task delete??

        Amita1070  The answer is NO in the near future for both. You need to backup the Plans using third-party apps and restore them when needed.
