Document Comments and Teams Notifications
Learn how to discuss project documents and how document creation and edits notify your linked Teams channel.
Why AB Projects Requires Microsoft Graph Permissions
Every permission AB Projects asks for, mapped to the feature it powers: organization-wide Microsoft Graph permissions an administrator consents to in Entra ID (mostly delegated), and the team permissions a team owner accepts per team, including the 2.4.0 one that lets thread replies sync to tasks.
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.
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.
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.
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 and their Microsoft Teams thread stay in sync — every comment posts to the channel, and any reply in the task's thread comes back as a comment once the team is on AB Projects 2.4.0 — and how the Mention in Teams notification picker controls who gets pinged.
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.
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.
