Windows 10: Microsoft To Do is now integrated with Microsoft 365 suite of apps

Brink · Jul 24, 2020

Digital clutter is an ever-increasing challenge. Itâs one of the reasons why modern life feels so busy and chaotic. Microsoft To Do is committed to providing a complete task management solution that keeps people at the center. To Do helps people focus on and keep track of what matters, in work and in life. Our 3 key promises are: 1) collect tasks from different sources, 2) show urgent and important tasks, and 3) help users complete them (coming soon).

To fulfil our first promise, weâre integrating To Do with the Microsoft 365 suite of applications and making it available in key user workflows. Following up on the full Outlook/To Do integration, Tasks in Teams is rolling out this August. With this launch, To Do is now available in Microsoft Teams .

To Do is already integrated with Planner - tasks assigned to you in Planner boards show up in the âAssigned to youâ list. To Do is also available in Microsoft Launcher and any task added via Cortana gets added to To Do. By Q121, we will support @mentions in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, which means that whenever someone @mentions you, the tasks youâre mentioned in will automatically appear in your âAssigned to youâ smart list. Weâre also working on adding your reading lists from Edge as tasks. More integrations are on the way to make To Do the place for all your tasks.

Tasks in Teams provide consolidated view of your To Do and Planner tasks

To Do is much more than a to-do list organizer. Itâs an intelligent fabric that collects and connects tasks across the Microsoft 365 suite of applications. For example, the Insights add-in program for Outlook extracts important commitments or follow-ups from your Outlook messages and, with a click, adds them to To Do. In addition, the My Day smart list has task suggestions collected from across Microsoft 365 to help you prioritize and complete important tasks for your day. Moreover, you can also share lists with coworkers to get more done together. You can easily switch to your personal account and organize your tasks outside of work.

To Do is built on the Microsoft Exchange platform, and it meets all security and privacy standards by design like your Outlook inbox. Organization admins can easily grant or remove access to To Do for their employees. We imagine a future where all your tasks in Microsoft 365 apps are collected automatically in To Do so you can focus on what matters and save time every day.

To Do complies with information governance and eDiscovery features of Office 365

Weâll post updates just like this on the Tech Community blog to let you know about new features that you can try in To Do. Check back here for regular posts and check out our Release Notes for more information about updates and fixes. In the meantime, we want to hear from you! Tell us what you think about the Teams integration and let us know what youâre looking forward to next via UserVoice or write to us ([email protected]).

Microsoft To-Do and Cortana integration in Windows 10

Microsoft To-Do helps you manage, prioritize, and complete the most important things you need to achieve every day, powered by Office 365 integration.

Now, with Cortana integration, you can save time and stay organized — Cortana helps by adding your reminders and tasks to your lists in Microsoft To-Do, so you can stay on top of what matters most. Use your voice, your PC, your phone — your choice.

Streamline your tasks — your lists and reminders from across Microsoft To-Do, Cortana, and tasks in Outlook can now become one — centrally located in your Microsoft To-Do app. Use Microsoft To-Do anywhere: on your Android or iPhone, with Cortana, or on your Windows 10 PC. You can also access Microsoft To-Do from the web. It’s automatically synced so you never miss a beat.

With this integration, we are furthering efforts to seamlessly sync your to-do lists across Microsoft To-Do, Cortana, and your Outlook tasks. Follow the quick steps below and give it a try. To share feedback, join the cohort or use the Feedback Hub.

Getting started

Your Windows 10 PC must be running Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18267+ and tied to either an Australia, India, US, or UK region. To sync your reminders and lists across Cortana, Microsoft To-Do, and Outlook, set up Outlook or Office 365 as a connected service in Cortana on your PC:

Cortana > Notebook > Manage Skills > Connected services

Select your account type:

Personal Microsoft account: select Outlook

Enterprise account: select Office 365

Click Connect.

Your reminders and lists across Cortana, Microsoft To-Do and Outlook will start syncing.

If you already have Outlook or Office 365 set up as a connected service in Cortana, initiate the sync by trying one of these actions:

Reminders: Cortana > Notebook > Organizer > Reminders or

Lists: Cortana > Notebook > Organizer > Lists

Then, sign into the Microsoft To-Do app or Outlook with the same personal or enterprise account you used earlier when setting up connected services in Cortana. All your reminders and lists will now be synced across Cortana, Microsoft To-Do and Outlook.

Learn more about connected services in Cortana.

Things to try

Add items to a list

Open the Microsoft To-Do app on your PC and create a new list titled “Travel”.

Ask Cortana to add “Paris” to your “Travel” list.

Verify if “Paris” was automatically added to your “Travel” list on Microsoft To-Do.

Your accounts should sync automatically. If you need to force a sync, go to Microsoft To-Do app > click on your account name > Settings > Sync

Set reminders

Ask Cortana: “Remind me to call Dave in 2 minutes.”

Wait for the reminder. You should receive a Microsoft To-Do reminder, and a Cortana reminder.

The reminder should appear both in your Microsoft To-Do planned tasks and your Cortana To-Do lists.

In the Microsoft To-Do app and Cortana, you can also add a time reminder on any item in the lists.

Recall items on a list

Ask Cortana: “What is on my To-Do list?”

Try this with any other named lists. “What is on my Grocery list?”

Recall your reminders

Go to the Microsoft To-Do app and click on Tasks.

Create a new task and add to the Task list.

Click on the new task to edit.

Click on “Remind me” and set a reminder for later in the day.

Ask Cortana: “What are my reminders for today?”

Try with other query patterns such as “What are my reminders in the evening?” etc.

Known Issues

(last updated 12.18.18)
There are a few known issues we’re tracking to and working to resolve:

Works best when you disconnect Wunderlist from Cortana.

Location-based reminders can only be created in Cortana, while you can view them in your Microsoft To-Do app.

Attachments added with Cortana are only accessible in Cortana (won’t sync to Microsoft To-Do)

A list shared between multiple people in the Microsoft To-Do app will only appear in Cortana for the person who shared it. All members of the list can still access the list in Microsoft To-Do.

You may see duplicate notifications for a single reminder — from Cortana, Microsoft To-Do, and Outlook apps on your Windows 10 PC or iOS phone. Learn how to change notification settings in Windows 10

You may get “Too many reminders” error while setting up reminders using Cortana on a Windows phone. Delete some of the completed reminders as a workaround. Go to Cortana > Notebook > Reminders > History > Completed either on PC or Windows phone.
