Becoming a Project Member in AB Projects
How you become a member of an AB Projects project: being in the linked Teams channel is the only requirement — the roster sync adds you as a Member automatically, and there is a checklist for names missing from the assignee or mention picker.
Teams Channel and Project Linking in AB Projects
How AB Projects links each Microsoft Teams channel one-to-one with a project: the link is made when the tab is added, membership syncs from the channel roster automatically, and comments flow between task and channel thread.
AI Support Features in AB Projects
Every AI capability in AB Projects today: dashboard greeting, task summary, suggested subtasks, task extraction from meeting recordings, the Teams bot's commands and conversational answers, the digest's Today's focus note, and MCP assistants — all clearly disclosed, none acting without you.
Images or Files Won't Upload
Image won't upload in AB Projects? Uploads are images embedded via the editor (comments, descriptions) and the profile/project icon pickers — icons are capped at 2 MB — stored in AB's own cloud storage, not OneDrive/SharePoint. Check format, size, session, and network.
Who Can See What?
Visibility in AB Projects is decided by project membership: every member sees all of the project's tasks, comments, subtasks, and history. Roles (Owner/Admin/Member/Viewer) control what you can change, not what you can see — there are no private tasks. To hide work, use a separate channel and project.
Confidentiality and Enterprise Agreements
Confidentiality in AB Projects is done by Teams channel scoping, not per-task privacy: people outside the channel aren't project members and see nothing. There is no private-task flag, NDA workflow, watermarking, or access expiration — NDAs, data-processing terms, and private commercial arrangements are handled through Enterprise agreements.
Integration with Microsoft Teams and Adaptive Cards
How AB Projects and Microsoft Teams fit together as one system: the one-to-one channel–project link, the tab, Adaptive Card posts with two-way thread sync, the chip-picker mention model, and Microsoft SSO with channel-driven membership.
Built-in Automation
AB Projects has no if-this-then-that rule builder — the routine work is automated out of the box: status-driven progress, subtask roll-up, automatic Teams cards (tunable per event type per project), channel-driven membership sync, digests and reminders, and AI assists.
Notifications and Reminders
The three notification types in AB Projects: real-time Adaptive Card activity in the linked Teams channel (with per-project category toggles), a scheduled top-10 task digest by email or Teams chat, and one-shot per-task deadline reminders set with the task's bell.
Adaptive Cards and Task Previews
What the Adaptive Cards AB Projects posts to your Teams channel actually show — priority, dates, a change diff, progress, badges, counts, and the Open button — when they're posted, and why replying under a card writes straight to the task.
Commenting with Mentions in Channels
How task comments sync two-way with the Microsoft Teams thread, and how the Mention in Teams notification picker controls exactly who gets @mentioned — including what happens with unregistered repliers and read-only Viewer members.
Installing the AB Projects Teams App
How to install AB Projects in Microsoft Teams: add the app from the Teams app store or Microsoft Marketplace, then add the channel tab to link a channel to a project — with automatic Microsoft 365 sign-in, project types, the included bot, and licensing basics.
Managing Project Settings
A tour of the AB Projects project settings page: identity, members, Teams channel notification toggles, GitHub integration, task workflow options, the Teams link, ownership transfer, leaving, and the unlink-before-delete rule.
Role-Based Access Control
The four project roles in AB Projects — Owner, Admin, Member, and Viewer — what each can do, how roles are changed, the guardrails around ownership and the last Admin, and how the read-only Viewer role differs from having no license seat.
Adding or Removing Members
How people join and leave an AB Projects project: the linked Teams channel is the roster — auto-sync adds the whole channel, the Team page invite covers stragglers, and removing someone for good means removing them from the channel too.
Understanding Projects and Teams
What a project is in AB Projects: a shared workspace of tasks, wiki, and documents tied one-to-one to a Microsoft Teams channel, with membership synced from the channel and four roles — Owner, Admin, Member, and Viewer.
Creating and Editing Tasks
Learn how to create, find, review, and edit tasks in AB Projects, including task fields, change reasons, comments, subtasks, linked documents, and reminders.
Inviting Team Members via Microsoft Teams
There are no email invites in AB Projects — adding someone to the linked Microsoft Teams channel is the invite. How automatic onboarding works, what happens on a person's first open, the manual invite option, guests, and how seats are granted.
