Instead, functions like To-Do lists can be used as a standalone app-if you want!-or as part of another app. Microsoft doesn’t really believe that a function should always stand alone as a discrete app. Yes, it’s confusing-and that’s because Microsoft 365 tends to “blur” apps, adding bits and pieces of one to another. …but the Tasks integration within Teams is the latest example of To-Do integration. The Tasks in Teams integration begins today, Microsoft said, and will continue through September. Planner and To-Do now connect to the Tasks portion within Teams, either as a discrete app on the left rail or as a tab within individual Teams teams. If you use Planner, another Microsoft 365 app, To-Do is now integrated within it. A To-Do pane is now available within the web version of Outlook, and emails from colleagues asking you to do something can be dragged and dropped into it, automatically adding an item to the list. There is, so far, an integration between To Do and Outlook that gives a few benefits, but thats about it. Throughout the past several months, however, Microsoft has quietly begun adding To-Do functionality to other Microsoft 365 apps. Microsoft has added more features to To Do since its initial release.
