Start with the old version

You can also right-click and then open this screen in a separate tab of the app. This way you don’t have to switch between your calendar or emails and you can just leave To Do open.

The layout is a little different (in the separate window you no longer have the taskbar on the left), but in both cases you have all the options.

Start in the new version

In the new version you also click the blue checkmark, but now Windows immediately opens a new window in your browser. If this is your first time doing this, Outlook will give you a warm welcome.

Both in my day, Important, Planned And Tasks You can add tasks.

You can access it below New list Also create specific sections. This can be useful for tasks within a specific project or topic. For example, you can create a list of team building activities. The tasks you create here will still end up in the corresponding default sections, except for the section Tasks. Only items that you create in the standard sections will appear there.

Other properties
