Assign task in EXcel comment

Hello

 

I hope someone can help to explain how the "Assign a task" works in excel comment. I notice when someone assigned me a task by creating a comment on Excel, and click assign a task. I would get an email notification about the task, but this task is not shown anywhere in my task on outlook, teams or to do. 

 

Anyone can help to explain.

 

thanks

Ryan

    I have same question - looking to follow

    Question is in excel you can add a "Comment" to a cell and using the @XXXXX function flag it for someone getting a notification via e-mail and with the web version you can "Assign To" - Where can these be found as a summary

    These tasks do not show up anywhere on the task app or planner or even outlook

    Comment / Assigning can be done on all MS 365 apps ) word, PP, Excel, etc etc

    But seems to have no link to anything taggable outside the said document
