Great video and perfect for the staff that is just beginning to explore Planner.

[stevegoddard]

I love the idea of scheduling a review of the plan! Thank you!

[hankhantak]

Your videos are so helpful! Thank you for creating them :)

[NathalieChaperon]

Wonderful! Thank you so much to create this content.

[deflectoronline]

Thank you for this video. Appreciate the updates.

[JesseCrawford-by]

Great Video. How can you see all tasks assigned to your direct reports?

[frog]

Hi there, great video! I do have a question, though. My Planner just switched to the new layout, along with the theme changing from light to dark. I can't figure out how to switch it back. I don’t really prefer dark theme on the web, especially in Planner. Thanks in advance

[charlesieuter]

Enjoy your videos - do you do consulting with small businesses? Thanks.

[leiterservices]

I’ve been waiting for filters to become sticky/persistent. I will have to check that out!

[PaweW-tdwt]

Of course, here's the corrected translation of the entire text:

Thanks for your video. I don't know what your opinion is, but in my view, the search function working only by plan names is a failure. You first have to find the plan and then search within it for the task content. There should immediately be an option to search by task content. Besides, even in To-Do, this function is flawed—it doesn't search through the content of emails from the Intelligent List called : Flagged emails. This is also "painfull".

[svenewert]

Great Video! Is there a way to sort the plans in alphabetical order? This would be perfect.

[jijindaniel]

Thanks for the video. Any idea how to get a notification by mail, when a task is updated or edited by an assigned member?

[BG-ptfy]

There's one key feature I've still never seen - email to board. The ability to go through email and forward to various planner backlog columns would be fantastic. Just like Trello, but enterprise grade. The ability to flag emails that show up in To-do just isn't quite on par.

[judywigginton]

Great videos - do you Offer consulting for small businesses? Thanks.

[afnanhchannel]

Hi Amy. I am new to this Microsoft planner. If I use Microsoft Planner, is it my Microsoft to do will automatically updated? Thank you

[apismellifera]

Thank you❤. Is there a way to edit multiple tasks? i.e assigning multiple tasks to a person, or labelling multiple tasks in one go.

[patrickvanderstege]

Can you tell me more about the notifications in Teams with planner? what can i set on and where

[RobSimons]

How do I contact you about a speaking opportunity? I can't find any contact information on your website. Thanks.

[AktharHussain]

Do tasks in To Do folders show up in the My Tasks > Private Tasks? I haven't been able to get that to work.
