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.
AI Support Features in AB Projects
What AI does in AB Projects today: an AI greeting on the dashboard, an AI summary and suggested subtasks on tasks, a Teams bot with commands plus conversational AI (1-on-1 and channel @mention), and MCP assistants — all with clear AI disclosure.
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.
Images or Files Won't Upload
Image won't upload in AB Projects? Images are embedded via the editor (comments, descriptions) and icon pickers, stored in AB Projects storage — not OneDrive/SharePoint. Check format, size, your signed-in session, and network.
Who Can See What?
Visibility in AB Projects is membership-based: every project member sees all of the project's tasks, comments, subtasks, and history. Roles (Owner/Admin/Member) control management, not visibility — there is no private-task or read-only tier. Confidentiality is done via separate channels.
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.
Exporting and Accessing Project Data
AB Projects does not yet provide CSV/report export of task or project data. This article explains how data is preserved (per-task change history, the Teams channel record) and the ways to access it today (filtered views, MCP/AI queries, the scheduled digest).
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
Add task comments in AB Projects, use rich-text formatting, mention project members in Teams notifications, and review or manage the resulting discussion.
