Document Comments & Teams Sync
How comments work on AB Projects Documents: per-page comments with member @mentions, posted to the linked Teams channel, with replies in the Teams thread syncing back as comments — the same two-way model as tasks.
Project Documents (Wiki): Overview
AB Projects includes a per-project wiki — the Documents area — for living knowledge: a Markdown page tree with versioning, comments, Teams sync, and task links, scoped to the project's members.
Becoming a Project Member in AB Projects
In AB Projects, project membership follows the connected Microsoft Teams channel. You're added automatically when the roster syncs — you don't have to visit the tab first to be a member, be assigned, or be mentioned.
Teams Channel and Project Linking in AB Projects
Learn how AB Projects links each Microsoft Teams channel one-to-one with a project, and how membership follows the channel automatically — opening the tab syncs the whole roster, so members don't each need to visit to be added, assigned, or mentioned.
Why AB Projects Requires Microsoft Graph Permissions
The Microsoft Graph API permissions AB Projects uses and why — covering Teams channel linking and roster sync, posting task activity and syncing thread replies, Outlook calendar scheduling, and Microsoft SSO. The Entra app registration / consent screen is the authoritative list.
I Can't See My Tasks
Tasks not showing in AB Projects? Work through project selection, the filter panel (completed/omitted hidden by default and remembered), the List/Gantt/Kanban views (Gantt needs dates), Teams-channel membership sync, and reloading.
SSO and Microsoft Login
AB Projects uses Microsoft SSO (Microsoft Entra ID) for password-free sign-in with your Microsoft 365 account. No separate password and no per-user license to assign; project access follows your Teams-channel membership.
Notification Preferences
What you can configure for AB Projects notifications: your personal task digest's delivery method (email/Teams) and schedule, in Settings → Task Reminders. Real-time Teams channel activity is automatic; per-event toggles, task following, per-task due reminders, and an in-app inbox don't exist yet.
Integration with Microsoft Teams and Adaptive Cards
How AB Projects integrates with Microsoft Teams: one-to-one channel tab, Adaptive Cards posted for every comment and task change with a two-way thread, the chip-picker mention model that fires Teams @mentions, and Microsoft SSO with channel-driven membership (no license gate).
Built-in Automation
AB Projects automates the routine work out of the box — status-driven progress, subtask roll-up, automatic Teams updates, channel-driven membership sync, and the scheduled digest. There is no custom if-this-then-that rule builder; this article explains what runs automatically.
Gantt Chart View and Timeline Tracking
Learn how the AB Projects Gantt view works: tasks with start/due dates shown as status-colored bars with progress, today and weekends highlighted, overdue styling, click to open the detail panel to change dates (logged with a reason), and filtering via the shared filter panel.
Notifications and Reminders
How notifications work in AB Projects: real-time Adaptive Card activity and @mentions in the linked Teams channel, plus a per-user scheduled digest of your top open tasks by email and/or Teams direct message, configured in personal Settings → Task Reminders.
Adaptive Cards and Task Previews
Learn how AB Projects posts Microsoft Teams Adaptive Cards for every comment and every task change. Cards show priority, dates, a change diff, progress, status, assignee, counts, and an Open button, and replies sync back to the task.
Commenting with Mentions in Channels
Learn how task comments in AB Projects work with Microsoft Teams. Mention members with the chip picker to @mention them in the channel post, every comment posts to the linked Teams thread, and replies in Teams sync back to the task.
Using Tabs for Task Management
Learn how to manage tasks inside Microsoft Teams with the AB Projects channel tab: List, Gantt, and Kanban views, creating tasks, the slide-in detail panel, comments and mentions, filtering, and how changes are logged and posted to the channel.
Managing Project Settings
Learn how to manage AB Projects project settings: name, description, icon, perma name, estimate unit, task workflow (statuses, types, environments), GitHub integration, the Microsoft Teams link, and ownership, leaving, and deletion.
Role-Based Access Control
Learn how roles work in AB Projects. Every member is an Owner, Admin, or Member; new members join as Member by default. Admin and Owner control members, the Teams link, and workflow configuration, all scoped per project.
Adding or Removing Members
Learn how members are added to and removed from an AB Projects project. Membership follows the connected Microsoft Teams channel: people auto-join when they open the tab, Owners/Admins can invite from the channel roster, and roles are Owner, Admin, and Member.
Understanding Projects and Teams
How projects and Microsoft Teams fit together in AB Projects: a project is a scoped workspace linked to one Teams channel, its members auto-synced from that channel, with Owner/Admin/Member roles. Users belong to many projects and switch via the Projects tab.
Task Comments and Mentions
How task comments and @mentions work in AB Projects: a rich-text comment editor with image upload, mentioning specific project members, and automatic two-way sync with the linked Microsoft Teams channel thread. AI assistants can comment too.
Setting Due Dates and Priorities
How due dates and priorities work in AB Projects: every task gets start/due dates (due defaults to a week out), priority is High/Medium/Low, and every change is recorded with a reason in the task's history and shared to your Teams channel. Parent tasks can base dates on their subtasks.
Creating and Editing Tasks
Create and edit tasks in AB Projects: the Create Task form fields, editing each attribute through quick panels that record a reason in the task's change history, plus subtasks, attachments, AI summaries and AI-suggested subtasks — all shared back to your Teams channel.
Inviting Team Members via Microsoft Teams
AB Projects onboards your whole team through Microsoft Teams automatically: once the AB Projects tab is connected to a channel, every channel member is added to the project and kept in sync — no one-by-one email invites. Admins can also manually invite specific channel members.
Navigating the Interface
