Linking Documents to Tasks and Finding Pages
Learn how to find project documents and create bidirectional links between documents and tasks in ActionBridge.
MCP Tools Reference
Every MCP tool ActionBridge exposes to AI assistants — ab_* tools for AB Projects (tasks, schedule, Documents, task-document links) and ab_crm_* tools for AB Sales (leads, opportunities, activities, email) — plus the built-in slash-command prompts and resources, and how licensing gates writes.
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.
Why AB Projects Requires Microsoft Graph Permissions
Every Microsoft Graph permission AB Projects requests, mapped to the feature it powers: Teams channel linking and roster sync, task cards and comment sync in channels, Outlook calendar scheduling, and Microsoft SSO. Most access is delegated (limited to what you can already do); the Entra ID consent screen is the authoritative list.
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.
I Can't See My Tasks
Tasks not showing in AB Projects? It's almost always a remembered filter, the wrong project or view (Gantt needs dates), or Teams-channel membership that hasn't synced — and if you can see tasks but not create them, it's a license seat, not a bug.
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.
Data Retention and Export
How AB Projects retains data: nothing is purged on a timer, change history and comments are preserved, and deleting a task is permanent — there is no recycle bin. Data is hosted on Microsoft Azure (Japan East). No self-serve export yet; exports and account-data deletion are handled by support on request.
Managing Subscriptions, Billing & Licenses
How AB Projects pricing and licensing work: a free tier (first 10 active users per tenant) and a Basic plan ($3 per active user / month) purchased on Microsoft AppSource — including the activation page, assigning seats in Settings → Manage licenses, subscription status and history, free trials, and exactly what happens when you cancel or reduce seats.
Notification Preferences
How to control what AB Projects sends you: the personal task digest in Settings, per-task deadline reminders, following tasks with the in-app notification bell, and the project-wide Teams channel notification toggles for owners and admins.
Language and Locale Settings
AB Projects is available in 11 languages, detected automatically from your Microsoft Teams language when your profile is created. What the language setting changes, how to override it in Settings, and why dates stay in ISO format.
Editing Your Profile and Icon
How to change your AB Projects display name, profile photo, language, and timezone in the Settings tab. Your profile starts as a copy of your Microsoft 365 identity, then is edited independently inside AB Projects.
Exporting and Accessing Project Data
AB Projects has no CSV/Excel export of task or project data yet. How your data is preserved (per-task change history, the Teams channel record) and how to get it out today: filtered views, AI assistants over MCP, and asking support.
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.
Gantt Chart View and Timeline Tracking
How the AB Projects Gantt view works: tasks with start and due dates become status-colored bars with progress fill and dependency arrows; today and weekends are highlighted; dates are edited in the task detail panel (logged with a reason), not by dragging bars.
Daily Digest and AI Assistance
The AB Projects daily digest is sent to you, not written by you: up to 10 open tasks by due date, on the weekdays and time you set, by email and/or Teams — plus per-task deadline reminders and the AI assists you use during the day.
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.
Using Tabs for Task Management
Manage tasks from the AB Projects channel tab in Microsoft Teams: List, Gantt, and Kanban views, creating tasks, the slide-in detail panel, comments with mentions, remembered filters, and how every change is logged with a reason and posted to the channel.
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.
Task Statuses and Workflows
Manage task workflow in AB Projects by changing status, updating progress, completing tasks, and reviewing work by status in Kanban view.

Break large tasks into manageable subtasks in AB Projects. Create new subtasks, attach existing tasks, use AI suggestions, and review progress from the parent task.
