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.

- Chris_RoseCopper ContributorWhen will it possible to create new Planner tasks directly from mails?
- Brian-SmithFormer EmployeeA flagged e-mail will show in new Planner Christian, but I sense you are wanting a 'Planner' task? What is the scenario you are looking to support?
- Chris_RoseCopper ContributorHi, our frontline employees still receive mails and in the past they created tasks in ToDo directly from this mails. Now our stores moved to Planner (we implemented Task Publishing for our stores), they miss to easily create a new Planner task from a mail, like they could before with ToDo. Now they have to copy/paste mail content manually to a new task in their daily plan. To flag a mail is not the same because it will not show up in the Planner board.

In the planner list, I would like to be able to filter or emphasize the recent changed tasks based on the modification date. So I would like to get the recent modified tasks i.e. of the current day, the last 7 days etc. How can I achieve this in the new planner?
- Rita_SeatonBrass ContributorHas anyone quantitatively measured how much time can be saved using the new Planner on a given scenario?
- TimLynch-OCMBrass ContributorNooooo more Outlook, Nooo more emails - Please stop encouraging people to live in email!
- FocusRachCopper ContributorWill this new planner roll out to GCC High?
- Brian-SmithFormer EmployeeNot at this stage Rachel.
- PeterLCopper ContributorPerhaps you find some time to tell us about your invest in compliance and governance.

Hi Peter, We have a deep commitment to reduce risk and meet compliance requirements with Microsoft Purview Risk and compliance | Unified data governance https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/purview Thank you for your question, Laura
- Ian BrucknerBrass ContributorCan you please make it like sharepoint, so that when I apply a filter, for example... it maintains that for me... and it updates the URL so I can share the URL with others so they can get to the same view I'm looking at? Best example of a use case... filtering out completed tasks from gridview. This is multi-step every single time you go back to the project/plan.
- Brian-SmithFormer EmployeeThere is some persistance within a plan Ian, but we don't persist the view across plans, or across sessions, and don't have a shareable Url to encapsulate this. We have heard this feedback before though - and if it isn't in the feedback portal be sure to add - or vote if it is already there.
- Ian BrucknerBrass ContributorWhich feedback portal to use? Seems like the P4W one seems to have been abandoned in terms of being responded to / labeled anything other than "open". Should this all go to "Planner" now? Most (all) of my questions would be related to what I think are now called "premium plans" which I think is the new name for "project for the web"?
- atrain204Iron ContributorYes, the shared views is a huge pain point. Especially for new users
- kunalyadavBrass ContributorWhat limitations will new Planner have?
- Brian-SmithFormer EmployeeIf you mean tasks limits on plans - these remain the same as currently documented for Planner (basic plans) and Project (premium plans).
- Serge TremblayCopper ContributorAny plans for a recycle bin for Deleted tasks or plans
- Rita_SeatonBrass ContributorI think I heard that was on the table for later.
- mherremaIron ContributorCould we pretty please get something a little more solid than "later this year" for the new version in the web?

Hi Mitch, We are hoping to to release the web experiences later this summer/early Fall - but clearly with software development we cannot commit to a specific date. We will start private and then public preview earlier! Please sign up for notification so we can keep you posted: Sign up to get the latest updates on the new Planner here https://aka.ms/plannernewsletter- mherremaIron ContributorReally helpful, thanks Laura. Totally understand the ballpark nature of this being a dev myself! Eager to try it out.
