Summary:
Microsoft Planner's feedback experience will align with Microsoft 365 policies starting mid-February 2026.

Updated February 5, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.
[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 mid-February 2026 (previously early February) and complete by end of February 2026 (previously mid-February).
