The Planner team is excited to share some fresh new updates in the Planner app for Microsoft Teams. We thank you for your valuable feedback that helps shape feature updates, and hope these capabilities significantly enhance your experience managing tasks and coordinating team initiatives.

Resize columns in Grid view

Customize your task view by resizing columns, making it easier to focus on what’s important. Try it out by navigating to Grid view in My Day, My Tasks, or any plan and hovering over any column to increase or decrease its width.

Discover Recommended Plans

We’re excited to introduce the Recommended Plans feature in the new Planner in Teams. This feature helps you quickly find relevant plans for your work by highlighting any new plans with tasks assigned to you that you haven’t yet viewed.

You’ll find the Recommended Plans view in My Plans, alongside other views like Recent, Shared, Private, and Pinned. Remember, the Recommended Plans view will only appear if there are new plans with tasks assigned to you that haven’t already been listed under Recent Plans.

An improved experience for copying plan links

Copying the link to a plan now pastes the link with the plan’s name, making it easier for you and your teammates to identify the linked plan. Select ‘Copy link to plan’ from the overflow menu of any plan and paste the link to check out this capability.

Use Copilot in Planner (preview)

While final pricing has not been announced, users with a Project Plan 3 or Project Plan 5 license can preview Copilot in Planner capabilities. Copilot in Planner (preview) can supercharge your project planning, task managing, and progress tracking processes. For more information on Copilot in Planner (preview), see: Try out the new Copilot in Planner (preview) today in the new Microsoft Planner in Teams – Microsoft Community Hub.

If you’d like to try this feature but don’t have a Project license, you can start a free 30-day trial of a Project Plan 3 license by selecting the diamond icon within the Planner app in Teams.
