<span style="color: #172b4d">This article is for students, faculty, and staff who wish to create a new planner in Planner. Planner is a task management feature compatible with Teams that allows a team site to create Plans containing the team's tasks.</span>

> ℹ️ Any member of a team can create a Planner for their team.

1. Click the **Teams** icon in the left panel.
2. Open the team you want the new Planner to be created in.
3. Click the **+ **icon underneath the search bar.
4. Type **planner **into the search bar.
5. Select the **Planner** icon.
6. Select **Create a new plan** and name the Planner. If you choose **Use an existing plan from this team**, you will not be creating a new Planner. Instead, you will be adding a tab that links to the existing Planner.
7. Choose whether you would like to share the creation of the new Planner to the team channel.
8. Press **Save**.

A link to this Planner will appear in the tab list at the top of the team page (under the search bar).
