| Can a group have more than one plan? | You can create multiple plans for a group via Planner integration within Microsoft Teams and SharePoint. We will support creating multiple plans from the Planner web app in the near future. In addition to creating multiple plans per group, you can also consider using tasks and checklists together to plan different workstreams, or set up buckets to split up the work. |
| How do i create a new plan based on an exsisting one? | This functionality is in development and not yet available in Planner. For more information on features currently in development, please see the Office 365 Roadmap. |
| How do I close or archive a plan when it's done? | When work on a plan is done, you have three options:
Option 1: Remove yourself from the plan. If you’re not the administrator, you can leave the plan, which removes it from your Planner hub. The plan’s files, tasks, conversations, and other elements are left in place. If you are the plan administrator, you can’t remove yourself from the plan. Option 2: Delete the plan. If you’re the administrator, you can edit the group to delete the plan. Before you do this, make sure that no one else is using the group for things outside of Planner. There is no way to recover a plan (or its files, conversations, and other data) after it has been deleted. Consider saving the group’s files to another location, and copying any critical information from the group’s conversations and OneNote notebook to another location, before deleting the group. Option 3: Do nothing! There really isn’t anything wrong with just walking away from the plan when you’re done. It will still show up on your Planner hub, but you can remove it from your Favorite plans, which will help you focus only on current work. It’s a good idea to clean up old plans later (using the suggestions in Option 2), but there’s no reason you can’t just let a plan sit untouched for a while to make sure your files, conversations, notes, and other information are still available. |
| Can I print plans or tasks in Planner? | You can't print plans or tasks from Planner yet. Watch planner.uservoice.com and Office 365 Roadmap to see what the Planner team is working on next. |
| Where are the files kept in Planner? | Planner plans are associated with Office 365 Groups, and the files for Office 365 Groups are stored in an associated SharePoint document library. To find your Planner files, select the three dots to the right of the plan name (...), then choose Files. |
