Introducing Microsoft To-Do—now available in Preview

Today, the Office 365 Team is excited to introduce a new, intelligent task management app that makes it easy to plan and manage your day. Say hello to Microsoft To-Do—now available in Preview.

 

To-Do comes from the team behind the Wunderlist app, and delivers a smarter, more personal and intuitive way to help people stay organized and get the most out of every day. Powered by Office 365 integration and an intelligent algorithm, it is the first step on our journey to simplify task management and help you achieve more.

  • I was able to enable To-Do. It is syncing from To-Do to my tasks.
    The only thing that doesn`t work for me; importing from Wunderlist.
    After importing it shows the import was succesfull, the number of imported items is correct, but the tasks are not visible at the To-Do app and not in Outlook.

      Hey Peter, That's strange. Can I just double-check that you signed in to the importer with the same Microsoft account? We've taken our importer down for maintenance today but it should be back later in the day. If you could try again, then let me know if you still have issues.

    I see that Education organizations are currently not supported. Any timeline on when it will be available for Education?

      Just curious where did you see this? I'm also in education and a current Wunderlist user and would like to start looking at To-Do.

        I use an Education tenancy too and work with a lot of customers in education.

  • Microsoft, maybe it`s a good idea next time by rolling out a new feature, your customers are able to turn it on ;)

    Love to here that you want to migrate Wunderlist task solution into O365!

     

    Enabling it in our tenant: Switche turn off again after turning it to yes and saving.

     

    At my iPhone I could do sign-in with my private account and later with my business one even though the switch was not set to On.

    At my iPad it did not work to sign-in at all.

  • The toggle showed up in my tenant today under "Services & add-ins", but I still can't turn it on. Switch it to "On", Save, and when I click back into it the toggle is back to "Off".

      Hi Loryan Strant, NunoAriasSilva - per the conversations in the comment section of the official Office Blog announcement, it sounds like the team is in the process of rolling it out and it’s taking a little longer than expected. I would refer to the blog post for an official answer.

      Hey Nuno, it is available now to supported O365 Tenants. If you can't see it in your Admin Center then let me know which O365 Tenant you're on and I can see whether it's supported or not.

    Wasn't expecting this, really excited to try this out!

    Will there be a dedicated space for Microsoft To-Do discussions?
