New Planner and Calendar Power-Up not able to merge?

[Rebecca Overall]

I'm a little confused. I've been using trello for years and there was no calendar feature except the power up. So. I've become entirely hooked on calendar power up for planning my life. Now the new planner doesn't have the option to merge with the calendar power up? Am I wrong? This seems like an obvious transition requirement to the new version of trello.

I am wondering the same thing. I used to be able to see all board projects in the powerup and now I can only see each board per calendar. It's a downgrade for sure.

Hi @Rebecca Overall @Josh Tolbert 

I'm not sure what the future holds for both these things but the distinction I use is:

New Calendar feature  - Personal Calendar view unique for your individual activities
Board Calendar view/powerup - Team Calendar to visualise all tasks

I see! So can I populate the new calendar feature (planner) just with my existing cards?  I've added dates to them but can't seem to see where they are living in planner. I don't have google calendar. I would love to just drop cards in the calendar and have them show in a monthly view. Is that available?

Also - if you still use the power up - where do you access it in the new beta version? I don't see the little rocket anywhere anymore. Help!

1. Here is what I was seeing with calendar powerup in the "old" trello. 

2. This is what Trello beta planner is showing. None of my dated cards showing and no option to connect Trello's own calendar powerup. Only google? 

3. When I try to add the calendar powerup to an individual card - it doesn't work. 

4. The due dates feature is working but when I open planner alongside it the dates aren't synced?  

Thank you so much for looking into this. Planner would be GREAT if it synced with your own Calendar powerup.

Can you get back to me on this @Daydreamer Mike  ?

Hi @Rebecca Overall 

As I mentioned before, the calendar on the board is separate from the planner.  However, you can drag cards from the board into planner.

The difference is, this is a personal planner not a team visible calendar.

If you are using a paid version of Trello, you can go here:

If you are using Free Trello so you would have to use the Calendar Power-up for the board.

ah! yes. i'm on free plan. would love to drag and drop cards into planner. can you show me how? i can't seem to activate planner at all. i've tried opening both planner and board windows and dragging cards over and it doesn't work. the only options are to connect calendars i don't have i believe (google & outlook)  @Daydreamer Mike

Hi @Rebecca Overall 

Unfortunately planner is read-only on the free version of Trello. If you subscribe to standard or premium, you get full planner access:
