Microsoft Teams-Planner greatly improves the Grid View, allowing users to customize their tasks

Microsoft has recently rolled out significant updates to its integrated Teams and Planner applications, introducing new features, accessibility improvements, and other quality-of-life changes.

In a blog post, Microsoft says one of the most notable changes is the addition of a new labels column in Grid View, which allows users to categorize and track tasks across different projects easily. You can add labels to tasks directly from Grid View and then use the new filter functionality to view tasks based on their corresponding labels.

Microsoft has also improved Planner’s accessibility features, including fixes to the label menu in task detail pages, keyboard-based data editing, and better support for screen readers.

The My Day page in the Planner app has been updated to more accurately display tasks due on the current day. In addition, to-do tasks with no due dates and tasks created from the Outlook add-in will now correctly appear in My Day.

If you’re not seeing these changes in your Teams-integrated Planner app, you should soon — Microsoft says the updates are rolling out now.
