Yes! Versioning would be ideal. Currently, there isn't even a Recycle Bin, which would be a bare minimum for serious use. But versioning would be a much better solution.

Apr 04, 2024Thanks for this feedback Ryan - could you share more on how you would wish to use versioning in your day to day task management?
- -_RH_-Apr 04, 2024Iron ContributorThank you, Nancy! Yes: since the implementation of a Recycle Bin has not yet begun, it would make sense (and be an improvement over competing solutions) to have versioning for Tasks in Planner. A Recycle Bin only allows going back to the most recent update of a deleted task; it cannot revert to a previous point in time in a current task or for a deleted task. For very simple tasks, this isn't that important, but a common scenario is where multiple people work on a task with many sub-tasks and components. In short, a Recycle Bin is only a recovery mechanism for accidentally or intentionally deleted tasks. It is not a recovery mechanism for when mistakes are inevitably made for tasks that are still in use, to try to determine what happened in task that has received multiple updates, to go back or do the same thing for a point in time for deleted tasks, etc. Does that help?
