Sync MS Project with SharePoint Task List
I already have a project plan in MS Project and want to make it available in SharePoint, which i did, i selected it to sync with SharePoint however i have to sync it each and every time i close/open MS project using the App. Why have the sync there when its actually not working as intended? Having to re-sync manually each and every time is really horrible user experience and i dont want to open the project via browser using the app.
I have the file already in the SharePoint library and if i open it using the MS project app, i just want it to be able to Sync. If i have done the sync, it should be able to sync every time automatically.
To sync MS Project using App with SharePoint Task Web Part. To do that:
- From MS Project, click File > Save As
- On the left panel, choose Sync with SharePoint
- On the panel on the right, fill out all of the fields/drop-downs. In the first drop-down, make sure to select “Existing Site” (since you are syncing to an existing site in SharePoint and not creating a new one)
- In the Site Address field, paste the URL of the SharePoint Site. It has to be a complete address, but just of the project site, not the task list
- Once you paste the URL, click on Verify Site. This checks if the site exists
- Once you verified site, all the available task web parts on that site will appear in the last drop-down. Choose the specific task list you will be syncing to. In most cases, there will be just one task list on a site
- Click Save
Steps mentioned above are the steps i have to take each and every time .... which is not ideal.
Hope this reaches the MS Project dev team and that they fix this issue.
