Issue: Planner no longer available to link in Microsoft Loop

Dear @Domenico,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum.

I understand that you're looking for the Planner component in Loop. Based on my research, Microsoft has officially retired the "Planner component" in Microsoft Loop as of early 2026. Microsoft has stated that this retirement is part of a transition period. They have a long-term goal of introducing a more advanced, unified Planner component across the Microsoft 365 suite, including Loop; however, a specific release date for this "next-generation" component has not yet been announced.

This change is a design decision by the engineering team to streamline the new unified Planner architecture.

Workaround:

• For new task management in Loop, you can use the Task List component instead (/task list or via the Insert menu). Tasks created here automatically sync to a connected Planner plan, appear in Microsoft To Do for assigned users, and support basic collaboration without requiring the previous full Planner embed.

• If your workflows rely heavily on complex Planner boards, you can continue managing them directly in Planner (or as tabs in Teams) and reference them via links in your Loop pages.

You can check for the latest updates in the Microsoft 365 Roadmap (search for "Planner" or "Loop") or via the Microsoft 365 Admin Center (Message Center ID: MC1193421).
