Each change to your plan, including becoming primary and being shared with a new person, is recorded in the Change Log tab. The log captures who changed what on the current plan, and when. Keep in mind that a copied plan only tracks changes and comments from the moment you copied it.
The Requirements tab shows your progress toward completion of the degree you are targeting; you can hide completed items to focus only on what you have left to do. You can also hide planned requirements to spot what’s missing from your plan.
For unmet requirements (empty circle icon), the Degree Requirements page lists the courses that could satisfy the audit. Expand the Courses Available drop-down list for a given requirement to see the choices. If you have a Primary Plan, the Select Term drop-list lets you add a course directly to a specific term.

Search by Section Attribute 

Search By Course Attribute – allows you to search for courses by Core requirements 

At any point you can click Generate Schedules, just to see how many schedules fit your current choices and filters. If it’s too many, use more filtering options to narrow the set. 

Life happens, plans change, and sections fill up, so Planner makes it easy for you to drag courses into other terms as your plan evolves.
