MicrosoftThanks for your feedback Andrew - you are correct that we don't have a date at this time for when these capabilities would be introduced to named/custom environments. Microsoft 365 users in named/custom environments would continue to have the access to the capabilities they had previously - as in they still can view premium plans, and if they have an E3/E5 license they can additionally update the percent completion of a task assigned to them.

Good day. I opted to utilize Planner versus Project for the Web because in Planner E3 users can add comments to update task status. If I understand correctly, when we are migrated to the new Planner, we will no longer be able to update task comments as E3 users? If so, can you please reconsider and allow E3/E5 users to:
1. Mark complete
2. Change %complete
3. Add task comments
This allows a PM to save extraordinary amounts of time by not having to reach out to many, many individuals to obtain updates. We also don't want to lose functionality we have in Planner with this change. We can't afford give 100s or 1000s of users P1 licensing. To effectively run a project any user in an organization can be a project team member.
Thank you.
- NancyatMSFTHi Stephanie! Good news is that Microsoft 365 licensed users including E3 users can continue to mark complete, %complete, and add task comments in the new Planner. You can see the full set of capabilities here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/project-online-service-description/project-web-service-description. We believe in the idea that users should be able to collaborate seamlessly with each other in premium plans the same way they would in basic plans, regardless of license. Thanks for writing to me about your concern! Please feel free to share any followup questions.
