Today's blog is about how to set up a Microsoft Planner web part for your SharePoint Page. Please note that you'll need to make sure the Modern View is turned on for your SharePoint Page before attempting to do the following steps.
The best part is you can add or customize web parts when you edit your modern page. It’s more like Lego blocks that you can place on your SharePoint Page. Plus, it looks cool!
In addition, some of the web part functionalities are limited to the Target Release program by Microsoft Office 365. You may not see the features below on your SharePoint Environment but it will be released soon as soon as it's available in your region.
