Event details
Join us for two special events where our Planner product team shares what is coming to the new Microsoft Planner.
In our Meet the Makers virtual event on April 3rd, leaders from the Planner product team will talk about the latest on the future of task and work management for Microsoft 365. They will explain how the new Microsoft Planner brings together the simplicity of Microsoft To Do, the collaboration of Microsoft Planner, the power of Microsoft Project for the web - with the intelligence of Microsoft Copilot - into a simple, familiar experience.
Our experts will showcase some of the key new capabilities and improvements of the new experience, including demonstrations on how to leverage Copilot in Planner to create plans, tasks, and goals and get Copilot to answer questions on progress, priorities, workload and more.
On April 4, we will host a special Ask Microsoft Anything (AMA). During the AMA session members of the Planner product team will answer questions directly from the community. This is a great opportunity to get answers to any questions you may have from the recent Meet the Makers event.

- BeckyH13Copper ContributorWill guests be able to receive Planner notifications?
- Dariuszn690Occasional ReaderWill new Planner be covered by customer key encryption?
- Jaime ChavezCopper ContributorWe currently have a lot of existing Classic Plans but we would love to take advantage of all the new features in Premium: 1. When will be able to convert a Standard or Classic Plan to a Premium Plan? 2. Will we be able to move a task from a Standard/Classic Plan to a Premium Plan? If so, when will this be available?
- TheJadSinnoCopper ContributorCan we assign tasks to users who are not part of the group in a shared plan? For example, marketing team needs assistance from someone in sales on 1 tasks but you don't want to share the entire group associated SharePoint site and shared mailbox that come with the unified group with them. If not, what do you suggest in this scenario

how to set notifications for task due today and passed due for plan created using premium/ project for the web. we are not getting notifications for task which are created from project for the web .
- Chris_RoseCopper ContributorIt seems that with new Planner is no longer possible to use bulk actions to update task attributes in the list view. When will this lost feature be available again?

Where do you see the new planner fitting into the current Project management ecosystem? Who do you view as the main Planner competitors? 👋
- Quentin69Copper ContributorTwo features have been in demand for a very long time. The ability to have a recycle garbage can in Planner and the ability to track changes made. Do you plan to implement them at some point? Or should we not count on them? We'd like a clear answer to this question, Thank you !
- -_RH_-Iron ContributorBetter yet, versioning. That would be quite a step above a Recycle Bin. But we definitely need *something*, as there's currently no recoverability story whatsoever.
- PathToSharePointCopper ContributorThe new Planner claims to aggregate all tasks across Microsoft 365, but I don't see any mention of Microsoft Lists, which for our organization is a major platform for tasks management. Is there anything in the roadmap for Microsoft Lists integration?
- NathanBlackBrass ContributorMy team’s API integrations into Project for the web have been limited by the unavailability of custom fields in the https://{orgName}.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.0 namespace. We can access basic task information like Name, Start Date, and Finish Date, but not any custom fields our users might add. Will this deficiency be addressed in upcoming releases of the new Planner?
