Thank you! I am going to start using this app thanks to your guidance

[alexandervalladares]

Very simple explanation!!! Thank you so much … New Subscriber here !!!

[woodward]

Can you insert a To Do list into a Teams page that links and updates? A bit like an excel table you can double click and edit?

Also can it spit out a Gant Chart type of display?

Any help massively appreciated.

Great, easy to follow guide. I dabbled with Microsoft To Do last year but am circling back to it after using another task manager. Gonna give it another go to see if it can replace it.

The need to add a tag feature to this app and the ability to filter. I don't like using the hash tag work around to create tags and also the search function to find the tags... not user friendly for me following the GTD model.

[Akshaya-saas]

Nice and simple explanation. Is there a way to generate progress charts to indicate how many tasks are open how many closed on time, how many closed after the due date, , , ,

How do I set the Date Format correct to the region in MS Todo, on Windows ? I have set DD/MM/YY in settings for MS and the others work (outlook etc). Note: The correct format is displayed for MS ToDo on the iphone.

Great video on To Do. One feature I also use are tags. By adding a # in front of a word a tag is generated. When you press on a tag all tasks containing that tag are displayed

I’m kind of used to rolling tasks over from day to day. While I admit that’s not an ideal practice, I’m not sure I’d like to see them vanish (I don’t mean from its parent list) when I don’t check them off. Is there any way around this. Thanks for the video.

[yousefalashqar]

Thank you for the video. However, I'd like to discuss a problem. Imagine working on a project with multiple emails regarding the same subject. If you flag the first email for follow-up and add steps and notes to address later, then receive an updated email on the same subject, flagging this as a new task requires transferring all previous work to the newly flagged email. This becomes increasingly complex with multiple emails.

Thank you, this was very useful...do you know where I can find a comparison between using the MAC desktop app, phone app or the online version. My team and I are in a hybrid work environment and I want to stay ahead of any issue. Thank you .

Another Brilliant Video! I see when you added Meghan, you are the owner of the Task. Adding a person do they have full access as an owner? I use Task by Planner adding heaps of people to a task (all reviewers of various sections of manuals) its frustrating that when I add them as a member they can complete the task effectively removing it from others task list. Is there a fix you know coming for that. At he moment when they complete their section I remove them as a member. I use forms as proof they tick off when complete and use this form for auditors proof.

[jasoncloner]

how can you connect to google calendar? thx

[jamesedinger]

Is there a way for To Do to notify a person when they have been assigned a task?

[StyleHike]

How can we assign sub task - to different individuals

[barbarab]

Can non-completed tasks from one day be set up to automatically show as tasks on the following day and not have to go to hidden?

[tubeitone]

Thank you for sharing this video! I am unable to use the App on my mac for some reason. When I click on ToDo > Account, nothing happens. :(

[sam_thetravelman]

Hi … how do I assign tasks .. using TODO on a Mac … can’t find the option

[jlweir]

Great video, but if you have multiple email accounts on outlook, how do you drag an email to form a task, but the task goes into the account your working in and not to your main personal account? So far, when I have tried to use tasks the task always shows in the personal account and not the task list from the account I am working from?

[Gringo_In_Chile]

i would also like to know how to use categories, that are assigned in the outlook desktop app in To Do. Is that possible?
