Enable recovery of deleted Planner Tabs in MS Teams
If you create a Planner tab in Microsoft Teams from an existing plan and then delete the plan, there is no way to recover the plan at all. This has already resulted in my lost work for our users. A change is required to allow recovery of plans deleted in error via Microsoft Teams.

MS--Add this ASAP! I just duplicated a Planner tab and didn't realize the changes I was making to the new Planner tab were being REPLICATED in the original Planner tab!!
A--Why would that be how it works?? and
B--Why isn't there a way to restore deleted content??This is basic stuff.

Being unable to undelete accidentally deleted tasks and plans makes Planner unusable! I just lost something like 60 tasks including progress marks from my main bucket, and I don't even know why! Microsoft must add a recovery feature urgently!

This has just caused a major project to be wiped from my department. Absolute joke. No warning or popups that creating a new plan would overwrite an existing plan with no rollback function.

MS - You need to add backups of planners urgently.
Months of hardwork put into planner has been lost within a few seconds.

Hi,
One of the planner boards was accidentally deleted, which was very important. Is there a way please to recover that ASAP.
Would be really grateful for help with this.
Looking forward to hear, thank you! -

This is a critical option to add to MS Teams. One can very easily loose days, weeks, months of work in Planner. It is critical to be able to restore a Planner, or at least be able to make a copy (not linked) in case it is modified or deleted accidentally by another user. And copying an existing planner, message is not clear that these remain linked. Therefore, impossible to delete one and not the other under another channel. Thank you !

I created a duplicate tab from an underlying plan and changed my mind. Although I read the message about deleting the underlying plan however didn't realise the implications. Highlighting this in red would have made me pay more attention (especially when on a call). An undelete option would be great.

How can this possibly not be in the tool... Just validated a few tasks trying to select them and I have no idea what I validated. No way to recover ...

Lost months of work when somehow someone deleted a tab. Somehow the tab is still there it just does not have any tasks in it from months of work, photos, info, notes etc completely LOST. This is crucial to be able to recover lost data.

Recovery of deleted items in Planner is an essential feature of project planning tools. We had also a variety of different situations of important work which was destroyed by this simple miss of that feature. Thanks in advance to the microsoft team for your support.

Most required feature. We use MS Planner for several applications, projects etc. It is easy to destroy the work of months with one single mistaken click. That's not state of the art.

If this option for recovery is not available ASAP, we need to instead REMOVE the ability to copy/duplicate a planner tab which does not ever have the option of being edited from the original.

It would be great to be able to recover deleted tasks in Planner...
With Teams (and Sharepoint), I can recover files / one note documents / wiki documents, but nothing for Task !?!?!?!?!?
Really appreciate a native tool for recovery Taks in Planner, but unfortunately, no time to wait, so we bought another product for managing our different projects...
Very sad, but a chance for other companies...
Hope, one day in the future !!!!!!!!!!!! -

Recovery would be an extremely useful tool. My end of year review was going to include all items that I completed in Planner. My supervisor deleted tabs to streamline the look of the planner we collaborate in and now I am missing hundreds of tasks that I completed and projects that I worked on. Please add this functionality or at a minimum some type of back-up to archive old items.

Thank you to the Microsoft teams for their tireless efforts. Software development is taxing and I can appreciate that. Just wanted to let you know the lack of this feature is preventing me from rolling out Planner to our organization. The sooner you can fix, the sooner I can get back to pumping out that sweet, sweet, Kool-Aid.

One day all tasks of our team were disappeared.
From Support team we received the following message. "We are afraid to say that the plan/tasks can’t be recovered from backend"
Thank you, Microsoft.
We will look for another tool.

The planner had two tabs of 'tasks' in the left-hand column with similar (but not the same) names.
This duplicate was created when i changed the name from 'tasks' to 'our tasks'After months of filling out and using the planner 'our tasks' i noticed 'tasks' and deleted it.. this deleted our used board and now i find out there is no way to recover....

I just spent an hour creating a new schedule for my group in Planner, went to the 'settings' button to see what the options were - seems to just be a way to create the tab?? - and accidentally hit 'save' instead of X'ing out of the window and it DELETED THE ENTIRE SCHEDULE? All seven boards and dozens of tasks? Nearly cried out of frustration and knowing that this project doesn't have enough time for me to spend another hour re-doing that setup - all that work completely down the drain just because I hit "save". And now my teammates have all those stupid notification emails that won't link back to tasks anymore. Supremely disappointing and frustrating. Never using Planner again unless this gets fixed.
