August 2026

The headline this month is where everything lives inside a project: the row of tabs is gone, and the left sidebar becomes the project’s own menu.

In the app

• A project’s views moved into the sidebar. Open a project and the sidebar shows every view grouped, with live task and issue counts and a lock on anything your plan does not include. Opening a group takes you straight to its first view, so the task list is one click from anywhere, and groups remember which ones you left open. Nothing was removed, and existing links still work. Navigate a project
• The project Overview was rebuilt around what needs attention. The stat cards now read Total tasks, Overdue, Open issues and Open risks, and each one clicks through to the view that answers it. Progress is told once, and the scorecard shows only the dimensions that actually have data instead of a column of “N/A”.
• A brand-new project opens on get-started cards rather than empty charts: generate a plan with AI, add your first tasks, invite a teammate, set the timeline. Each card disappears as you finish it. Create your first project
• Arabic, with full right-to-left. The interface is now available in five languages, and choosing العربية mirrors the whole layout: the navigation moves to the right, text and tables align right, and directional icons flip. Free on every plan, and personal to you. Change your display language
• A General issue can be filed into a project. An issue’s home used to be fixed when you created it, so one raised before anyone knew where it belonged stayed in General forever. It can now be moved into the project it turned out to belong to. One direction only, since General is visible to more people than a project is, so the move narrows who can see it rather than widening it. Track issues
• Search results open the task itself. Finding a task in search now lands on it with its edit form open, instead of on the list it lives in.

Onplana Tasks companions

The companion apps have install guides of their own now, one per platform: Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, and the browser extension. Each covers signing in, quick-add, working offline, and what stays in the web app.

My Day now carries a count, so you can see how much is on your plate today without opening the list first.

New in the help center

• Navigate a project, the sidebar’s groups and what is in each, counts and locks, the collapse memory, and the compact header on every view.
• Wake your agent with the relay, how a local agent gets woken by work assigned in Onplana, rather than waiting for its next poll.
• Control who can use your app, restricting access to an app you published from Build.
• Read your Schedule Health Check, what each finding in the free schedule analysis means and what to do about it.

Existing guides updated

• Customize your navigation was rewritten for the sidebar: one menu with two modes, the group names as they now read, and the Edit navigation pencil at the foot of the sidebar rather than on a section bar.
• Change your display language gained Arabic, a direction column, and a section on what right-to-left actually changes. It is also more honest about coverage: every translated string exists in all five languages and a build gate keeps them in step, but the app is not yet translated end to end, so an untranslated string falls back to English.
• The per-view guides across projects, agile, collaboration and automation now say “open the group, then select the view”, matching what is on screen.
