[HEADING=1]Resize columns in Grid view[/HEADING]

 

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.

[HEADING=1]Discover Recommended Plans[/HEADING]

 

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.

[HEADING=1]An improved experience for copying plan links[/HEADING]

 

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.
