Microsoft 365 admin-center notice MC1539001 recommends that administrators export any Project usage data they want to retain before November 20, 2026, and schedules the report’s removal for December 4, 2026. The notice says the report and its historical data will no longer be accessible in the admin center after its scheduled removal.
Export the Project usage data you need before November 20. Use the Planner usage report for Planner and Planner Premium activity.
What the scheduled change removes
The Project usage report, also labeled “Project activity,” is under Reports > Usage in the Microsoft 365 admin center. MC1539001 describes it as tracking active users of the Project desktop client, Project Online, and Project for the web. The notice ties the report’s retirement to the retirement of Project Online and Project for the web.
What continues for Project and Planner
The report change does not affect the Project desktop client’s features or project files. The notice says support for the desktop client continues under its published product lifecycle.
Planner and Planner Premium activity will continue to appear in the Microsoft 365 admin center’s Planner usage report. That report is the stated route for Planner activity.
Rollout scope
MC1539001 lists the rollout for Worldwide and GCC, with rollout expected to begin and finish in early December 2026.
