Some new features have been rolled out for Project for the Web we are excited to share:

  • Task attachments: you can now add file and link attachments to your tasks.
  • API for importing .mpp files into Project for the web: import your Project Desktop files into Project for the web using an API.
  • “Quick look” column: this new column in the grid will show you additional information about your tasks.
  • Export project to Excel: you can now export your project to MS Excel where you can customize the data.

Upcoming features:

  • Deploy Project to different environments:  You will be able to use multiple environments, not just the Default one.
  • Email notifications: Turn on notifications to see when you are assigned new tasks or alert you when a task’s due date is coming up.
  • Export timeline to PDF: Export your timeline to a PDF file so you can share it with non-Project users and external stakeholders.

Also Project Plan 1 now includes Essentials, so you can perform the following function with a P1 license:

  • Use a web-based interface
  • Update tasks, issues, and risks
  • Submit timesheets
  • Share documents and collaborate with Microsoft Teams or Skype for Business users
