Filtering Tasks and Saving Views
How task filters work in AB Projects: every condition the filter panel offers, saving a filter set you reuse, sharing a filtered view as a link, and why filters stick between visits.

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.
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.
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.
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. Bars aren't draggable by design — every date change carries a reason into the task's change history and the Teams channel, which a drag can't record.
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.
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.
Subtasks and Task Hierarchy
Break large tasks into manageable subtasks in AB Projects. Create new subtasks, attach existing tasks, use AI suggestions, review progress from the parent task, and see when to use a dependency instead.
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.
