#TASKS BY PLANNER AND TO DO IN TEAMS UPDATE#

If you have any questions about the current name change, leave a comment below and we’ll get back to you. We’ll make sure to communicate that rollout here and in Teams when the time comes. Stage 3 is right around the corner, and our goal is to start rolling out the final app name, Tasks, in the coming months.

We’ve also added a banner inside the app announcing the name change.Īlthough this is a big change, it’s a temporary one. The name change also does not impact the Planner or To Do standalone apps. Please note, this does not affect the functionality of Tasks in Teams in any way the name and icon changes are merely cosmetic. We believe Tasks by Planner and To Do better reflects the app’s functionality-it combines team tasks from Planner and individual tasks from To Do-so that customers who don’t closely follow Microsoft news will start (or continue) using the app with confidence. The goal of this sequence is to help all customers easily find the new hero task management app in Teams. When adding that tab, you can search “Planner,” “To Do,” or “Tasks” to find it. Both changes also apply to the Planner tab in Teams channels.

The app icon has changed to its final form, too. This changes the Tasks in Teams app name to Tasks by Planner and To Do from Planner, the original app name, for all non-government users.

Today, we’re very pleased to announce that we’ve hit Stage 2 in the sequence.

30 update to the general availability blog. The timing of that original sequence has since changed, which we noted in an Oct. When we first announced the public preview of Tasks in Teams, we also announced a three-stage naming sequence for how the app name would appear in Teams.
