Summary

Microsoft Planner's feedback experience will align with Microsoft 365 policies starting February 2026. If the screenshot policy is Not Configured or Enabled, users can include screenshots and attachments in feedback. Disabled policies block attachments. No admin action is required unless blocking uploads is desired.

More information

Introduction

We’re updating the feedback experience in Microsoft Planner to align with the broader Microsoft 365 feedback policy model. When the Allow users to include screenshots when they submit feedback policy is set to Not Configured, Planner will treat it the same as Enabled. This ensures consistent behavior across Microsoft 365 and gives users clearer, more predictable feedback options.

When this will happen:

General Availability: Rollout will begin in early February 2026 and complete by mid-February 2026.

How this affects your organization:

Who is affected:

  • Organizations using Microsoft Planner with Microsoft 365 in-product feedback not configured.
  • Admins managing feedback policies in the Microsoft 365 Apps Admin Center or via Group Policy.

What will happen:

  • When the feedback policy is Enabled or Not Configured, users will be able to include screenshots and file attachments in their in-product feedback.
  • Explicitly Disabled policies will continue to block attachments.
  • No changes will be made to other feedback functionality.
  • No admin action is required for this update.

What you can do to prepare:

  • To configure these policy settings, use the Cloud Policy service for Microsoft 365. For more information, refer to Overview of Cloud Policy service for Microsoft 365 and search for feedback or survey within Cloud Policy UI to find the policy settings to configure them.
  • No action is required.
  • If you want to prevent screenshot or file uploads, explicitly set the related feedback policy to Disabled.

Compliance considerations:

Impact Area Details
Stores new customer data? Users may now attach screenshots and files to feedback if feedback policies are not explicitly configured. These are stored in Microsoft’s customer feedback systems.
Introduces or modifies AI/ML interactions? If feedback relates to the Project Manager agent, attached files may be used to improve the agent’s capabilities.

No other compliance considerations identified; review as appropriate for your organization.
