What you need to know
Microsoft To Do now integrates with Outlook for Windows. Specifically, the integration between To Do and Outlook is rolling out to Current Channel users starting with version 2207. The update adds the ability to use the To Do app directly within Outlook for Windows, creating a similar experience to Outlook on the web.
Microsoft To Do already integrated with Outlook on the web. Some functionality extended to other versions of Outlook as well through task syncing. But the newly rolled out integration brings the entirety of the To Do app into Outlook for Windows.
The integration supports viewing flagged emails within Outlook in To Do, viewing assigned tasks within the “Assigned to me” list, and browsing through the “My Day” section of To Do within Outlook.
Microsoft To Do also works with Microsoft Planner. All of your assigned tasks from Planner will appear within the “Assigned to me list.”
The To Do within Outlook has a dark mode, allowing you to match the black theme within Outlook.
