Rollout of SharePoint Communication Sites to First Release?
- It is June, and they are coming soon. We can't tell you exactly when, and the update to Filter Panes is a little different scale than introducing communication sites. We're on the final mile of QA and things are looking good. Mr. McNulty set a nice bar, and we'll be clear as to making noise before they come to FR; covers a lot of my to do's this coming month - to launch comm sites so they cannot be missed :-).
The Planner plan instance is currently tied to the Office 365 Groups membership that has at it's root the connected SharePoint team site - and each app (Planner and team site are aware and driven by the same membership set of permissions; aka, the associated Office 365 group). That said, I'll loop in Kippi Lundgren to see if there are any methods for people to be able to maintain a Planner plan, and use the SharePoint Planner web part to showcase a plan on a Communication site; also looping in John_Sanders to take a look, too; he owns our webpart strategy all up - including working with internal partner teams like the Planner team.
MicrosoftÜlgen Öztürk - We limit planner use to group connected team sites, as Mark points out above. We could potentially augment the webpart to allow you to select a different group to show content from on your communication site (similar to what we do for Group Calendar).
We didn't bui8ld this initially to keep the experience very simple.
If you're interested in having this type of choice on comm sites, please let us know. It does create a potential scenario where people that have access to the comm site are not members of the group governing permissions to the tasks in planner, and therefore won't be able to see them.
