    very interesting video. Is it possible that the tasks from the Kanban also appear in the Planner? With /task the tasks are displayed directly in Planner/ToDo. Unfortunately I can't do this with /kanban.

    Thought I was clever by changing from "Link preview" to "URL", edit the URL and change the "Display text"... but then, when you click the link, it opens the page in a new/external browser window 🙄 I really like the automatic "Table of contents" but wish there was an option for a "global TOC" and that you can easily refer to "Headings" on the same or a different page, ideally with the "@" command how you can refer to a page (or external document). On a different note, do you by any chance know when "mermaid" support is coming to the Code component aaaaand, do you you know it it'll actually render the diagrams in the Code component?

    Love the linking. I agree that in the call out main detail page, you would need to stress no dates on it and use the kanban card / table and also indicate that the page is a child of the Kanban card. Also linking back to the board task from the child detail page is needed. It’s something i have always done in notebooks with pages and sections and paragraphs as is saves a lotta time

  • @DarrellaaS

    Thank you Rob. When adding a checklist to a text column, you will have to add it manually to each new row you add. I found that the checklist column in the Kanban component adds the checklist to each new row. Great idea about the backlink to the Kanban page. I should create a page template with the backlink. Then use the template for each new item.

    @@DarrellaaS I think I'm finally getting your point (which is a good one). If you want to have checklists in your table - start with a Kanban board and then customize the columns if needed. To continue this thought - use Task List if you want it to connect to Planner (ToDo) - use Voting Table if you want bullet points. Progress Tracker can also have Checklists (blockers)

    Thanks, Beth. To get buckets to show I have to use a Label column type. Then assign some of the items in the table with the label. You can change the view from Table to Board using the icon on the top left corner of the component. But if you want items to show up in To Do, you must use the task list component. Items that are assigned to you or show up in your assigned to me view in To Do.

    Thanks for sharing these insights. Loop is a great tool when you're bound to Microsoft. It's actually the most modern tool I've ever seen from Microsoft, of course inspired by Notion. Even though I appreciate this workaround, I truly hope Microsoft will come up with a native solution soon to integrate Loop workspaces into Teams. Regarding required effort, it's too much for us to have OneNote as a bridge, which hopefully isn't necessary anymore in the near future. 2 issues based on your video: - The online version of OneNote supports Loop components, while the desktop app (Mac) doesn't yet. - Loading the Notes tab in Teams with embedded Loop components gives an error: "Couldn't authenticate. Please enable popups in your browser to continue.".
