We’re excited to share that the Recurring Tasks and Grid features have now launched in Planner!
Recurring Tasks
You can reduce extra work by easily setting up automatic repeating tasks for daily, weekly, or monthly recurrence – and many other interval options – with custom repeat settings. This feature was highly requested by our users, and we greatly appreciate the feedback!

FAQ:
Q: I don’t see all the future occurrences of my task, is this normal?
A: Yes! You will only have one active occurrence of a task at any point of time. The next occurrence will be created once the current one is marked as complete. If you wish to see future occurrences, you can navigate to the Schedule view to see project future tasks.
Q: What happens if I remove the due date on a task?
A: Your task will no longer be recurring.
Q: What happens if I delete the active recurring task?
A: You will be asked whether you want to delete just the active task or all future tasks in the series as well.

The Grid view is available within any plan as well as the Assigned to Me tab, which gives you a single place to view all tasks that are assigned to you across all of your plans.
To get to the Grid view, simply select Grid at the top of your plan or Assigned to Me view. Here you can:
