Tasks in Teams experience comes as an app, which shows both Planner and To Do tasks, and as a tab, which is added to individual Teams channels and only shows Planner tasks.
Task publishing lets companies create tasks at the corporate level and push those tasks to targeted teams across their Firstline Workforce. For example, leadership for a nationwide retailer can create tasks for an upcoming promotional campaign, send that list to all affected store locations, and then track progress against the assigned tasks. Store managers can easily assign tasks to individual employees, while Firstline Workers can see a simple prioritized list of those tasks on their personal or company-issued mobile device. As of now, task publishing is only available in private preview. If you’re interested in getting the private preview of task publishing for your organization, please fill out this form to nominate your company.
Tasks in Teams is available in Teams desktop, web, and mobile clients. If Tasks in Teams is added in Teams on desktop, it’ll appear in the other two environments, too. The exception is guest users, who can access the Tasks tab but will only see the app on mobile.
Both the Tasks in Teams app and tab include four views: the traditional Board, Charts, and Schedule views from Planner, plus the new List view. All four are available in the Teams desktop and web experiences, but only the List view is available on mobile.
The new List view also comes with a new capability: edit multiple tasks at once. In both the desktop and web experiences, instead of making the same edits to each task individually, you can edit all affected tasks simultaneously. This feature supports changes for progress, priority, due date, and more depending on what task list you're looking at.
If you’re an IT admin, the Docs page includes steps for enabling or disabling Tasks in Teams for either your entire organization or specific users; setting a policy to automatically pin the Tasks app to the Teams siderail; and, hiding My tasks lists for users.
You can use Graph API and Power Automate integrations for To Do and Planner to surface tasks created in other apps in Tasks in Teams. You can read more about these APIs on our respective Planner and To Do pages. Note, the existing To Do Graph API will soon get updated to a new one, which is currently in private preview. For Power Automate, you can easily build workflows that create tasks based on certain criteria (e.g., a task is created when a form is submitted with a specific response). There are lots of premade Power Automate templates for To Do and Planner here, just search for the product name.
A unique feature of the Tasks app how it displays tasks and information associated with them in rows and columns. This is called List view, and allows you to change many tasks at once, which wasn't as possible in either To Do or Planner before. It also allows you to filter your tasks, which wasn't available to To Do previously.
