By 5 September 2021No Comments

Getting Started with the Microsoft To-Do

If you are struggling with endless lists and pieces of paper and sticky notes then here’s a solution for you.

Microsoft To-Do integrates with Outlook Tasks and Flags!

Simply flagging a message in Office365 Mail (web or Outlook) or your mobile App will add it to a central list making it easy to carry your list everywhere. This also allows you to never forget to followup on an email every again because it will be in your To-Do list… Of course marking them as complete will also mark them as complete everywhere too.

How to FLAG a message in Outlook mobile to add it to To-Do

You can flag from the message list or directly from within an open message.

Here’s Outlook on a PC showing the same message:

Exploring the To-Do on the web

To get started simply login on your Microsoft Office Online portal and locate the ToDo App, you may have to scroll through the apps to find it…

You can use the Waffle Menu to see the full list of Apps or the all Apps button whcich shows in the lower corner of your office home page.
