Use this interactive demo to learn how to rename and customize label names in Microsoft Planner.

Quick summary

In Microsoft Planner, you can rename label names on any task card to better reflect your team's workflow and categorization needs. This guide walks you through selecting a labeled task, editing the label name inline, and saving the change in just a few clicks.


Steps

  1. Inside your plan, select a task that has the label you want to edit.
  2. Tap the label on the task card, then enter the new label name into the provided input field.
  3. Click anywhere around the task card to save your changes.
  4. Confirm the update — the label name will now reflect your new input across the plan.

📌 Why this matters

Custom label names in Microsoft Planner help teams categorize tasks in a way that matches their specific workflows, making it easier to filter, prioritize, and track work at a glance. Instead of relying on generic color-coded labels, renaming them gives project members immediate context without extra clicks. This feature is especially valuable for teams managing multiple projects or cross-functional work within Microsoft 365. Personalizing Planner labels reduces confusion and improves overall task management efficiency.
