Use this interactive demo to learn how to create and name custom labels for your Planner tasks.

Quick summary

In Microsoft Planner, you can add more labels to a task by opening the Label field inside a task and using the Edit Label Name button to create a custom, named label. Once saved, the new label becomes available to tag tasks within that plan for better organization.


Steps

  1. Go to the left-side panel, then click My Plans.
  2. Choose a plan from the list of available options.
  3. Select a task from the plan to proceed.
  4. Tap the Label field inside the task to view the available label options.
  5. Find an unedited label and click its corresponding Edit Label Name button.
  6. Enter a unique label name into the input field, then press Enter or Command to save the changes.
  7. The new label is now added to the list and can be used to tag tasks within the selected plan.

📌 Why this matters

Custom labels in Microsoft Planner let teams categorize and prioritize tasks at a glance, making it easier to filter work across a plan. By adding and naming labels directly from a task's detail panel, users can create a color-coded tagging system tailored to their project workflow. This feature improves task visibility and helps teams stay organized without needing third-party tools. For anyone managing multiple workstreams in Microsoft 365, mastering Planner labels is a quick way to reduce confusion and streamline daily task management.
