ProjectOnline is NOT a web-based version of Project Professional, but an entirely separate service that offers full portfolio and project management tools on the web. It includes Project Web App, and can, depending on your subscription, also include Project Online Desktop Client, which is a subscription version of Project Professional.
If you need to cancel and subscribe to something else, select Billing > Subscriptions in the Microsoft 365 admin center, choose the subscription you want to cancel, and then select Cancel subscription in the pane on the right.

Are there any options for using the SharePoint modern UI with Project Online? It would be nice to be able to utilize a modern page 1) on the PWA landing page, and 2) on the home page for each of the project sites. Has anybody done this yet? And if so, are there any caveats or tricks to make it work properly with the project site template, etc.?
I am also facing the same issues, still project site using 2013 experience version while creating the site collection. If Microsoft upgrade we can able to use the modern experience for Issues/Risks/Deliverable's.
Hey Microsoft - any update on modernization of Project Online/Web App Sites? This is making me nervous in terms of recommending the approach to clients. When I look at the Roadmap, I see 5 updates released but absolutely nothing currently in development or even under consideration? Is MS Project getting canned and Planner being proposed as some sort of substitute??
Ridiculous to be silent on this issue. People are making choices with real money, and the uncertainty surrounding this issue is pushing lots of people to other options. Microsoft's advantage is impressive integration of the entire office software suite, and at the moment competitors are handling Modern Office 365/SharePoint integration for project management software better than the authors themselves.
Please, if anyone important in the MS Project product team sees this, just talk to us. We need something.
It would be nice to hear how to modernize current classic Project Online project sites. And how to get Teams connected to them. I can create Teams for my project and then O365 Group and SPO site will be provisioned but then PWA project site will be kind of an orphan. And then my project team has two Sharepoint sites - PWA project site and Teams connected Sharepoint site.
Thanks @Melody Shults for your comments! That "activating Site Pages" is definitely a workaround but I was hoping that PWA project sites, which are provisioned automatically with the project, would soon be modern. To avoid avoid manual interventions and get them O365 Group connected but I understand the PWA permission model is setting some limitations here.
@Melody Shults after activating Site Pages where do I find the modern page option? I cannot seem to locate any option that is different to the current look and feel under the 'change the look' setting.
I have a question regarding the integration of data between MS Project Online and Qlik SaaS. Is there any way to extract data from MS Project Online and import it into Qlik SaaS for analysis and visualization purposes? I came across a discussion from 2017 on this topic, but I'm unsure if any advancements or solutions have been developed since then. Can someone provide me with information on the current state of this integration or any available methods to achieve it?
It's unfortunate that even one of the world's leading project management tools lacks proper integration for generating reports after all these years. It seems like there are only workarounds available. Nonetheless, thank you for providing an answer. I appreciate your response.
Could you tell me if your problem has been solved? If it is, kindly Accept it as the solution. More people will benefit from it. Or you are still confused about it, please provide me with more details about your issue. Please check the following links if they can help you.
Thanks, but not what I am looking for. I do have a PWA, however for this one it is for Project Online. Not sure what it should actually be called, but for this version, there is no PWA associated with it, and it is a lite version with less functionality. Very similar to HUB but with a project twist.
All your links are in relation to Project Online, however I am looking for a solution for the light version of Project Online. Web only that has less detail than the full version of project. Nonetheless still good information. Thank you.
I had already progressed quite far in creating a way for our field foremen to update their task status using a sharepoint list connected to a project file, but then my boss asked me to find a way to set up reminders of upcoming tasks, and researching that lead me to discover Project Online and the Project Web App.
One thing we had run up against previously was that Microsoft Teams creates a Team Site for each of your teams, and the Project Site I created in sharepoint was different and separate than these team sites. In an effort to standardize on using the Team Site that already existed for our project, I exported the MPP from the Project site and resynced it with the Team Site that we already had for our project. This was fine, and would have continued to be fine, except then I discovered the PWA.
I spent a lot of time today trying to reason through the best way of testing the PWA with our current task list. I settled on exporting the MPP completely, and then using the "Save to Project Web App" wizard that exists inside the Project Online desktop app. I figured this was a good route because none of my existing sharepoint sites were showing up in Project Web App when I hit "add existing sharepoint list to Project Web app", and I suspected I was running up against a limitation of Classic vs Modern site structure.
I managed to get my MPP file in Project into Project Web App, and that was going fine, except now I wanted to associate it with the Microsoft Teams project site that we had created for this project. I went to that Teams project site, and enabled "Project Functionality" and "Project Web App Connectivity" in the site features, but upon going to the Connected Sharepoint Sites configuration page in PWA and choosing my project, hitting Edit Site Address and pasting in my Teams project site URL, I was presented with an error dialogue that "The Specified Site is not a child of the default site collection"
After some googling I've found that there was once a Project Server option that would allow you to specify project sites outside of the default site collection. I don't entirely understand site collections, or what site collection my sites are part of, and I couldn't find that option in Sharepoint Online in the PWA settings page or anything.
What's the best way to do this? Ideally I'd like to use the sharepoint site created by Microsoft Teams as the canonical project site, as we lean heavily on OneNote and the notebook we are editing is attached to that site. Additionally it would be nice to be able to push the task list from that site to the Microsoft Teams interface using the "sharepoint list" tab element, but that doesn't seem to show my task list as a choice.
I feel like this whole thing is caught in a limbo due to the creation of Modern sites, and their associated change in site structure. Documentation has not been updated for the Office 365 workflow, PWA is still firmly in the land of Classic, etc.
UPDATE: After some reading, I now realize that Office 365 Groups that are created by Microsoft Teams are actually Site Collections, and not Sites. Additionally it would seem PWA actually has its own site collection, and i'm left wondering if that site collection is the one it was referring to as the "default site collection" or if it was in fact talking about the actual default site collection for my sharepoint instance.
Is it possible to allow PWA to work on sites outside of that default site collection it is referring to? The option used to exist in Project Server, and now in Project Online it seems to have disappeared.
You can't add PWA resources to a non-PWA site, unfortunately. I wish it was possible to at least display MPP files via the File Viewer, but last I checked no luck. You won't get the functionality PWA sites offer (such as editing the project in the browser, task rollup, etc.) as much of the functionality that PWA uses is "classic" and has been removed from modern sites.
For many of our customers, side-by-side transition will be the best approach. This requires no data migration and ensures you can continue to use the functionality you need to manage your existing Project Online projects to completion. Here is our recommended approach to side-by-side usage and transition:
For some customers, a direct migration from Project Online to Project for the web will be the right course. This will depend on the complexity, customization, and size of your existing Project Online environment, including configuration, add-ons, custom code, and integrations.
At some point in the future we will be providing native migration tools to move project data from your existing Project Online environment to Project for the web. Our native tools will work best for standard deployments, e.g. those with no custom code or integrations.
Where more help is required beyond native migration tools, you can work with MCS and a Certified Project Partner to determine the best strategy to move your Project Online custom apps and code to Project for the web.
For the most complex deployments, you can enlist a certified Project Partner. We will be providing readiness to our Partner community so that they can develop migration services offering to take your most complex deployments from Project Online to Project for the web.
If you are using Project Online, sometimes referred to as Project Web App (PWA) in the product, we understand the important business value it provides you. You can continue to use your existing Project Online environment confidently while you plan a transition to Project for the web. You can start your move as soon as it makes sense for your business.
