Planner vs To-Do

Microsoft just released To-Do, a task app that will eventually replace Wunderlist. When should we use Planner and when should we use To-Do? Thanks for the help.

How does that solve the actions that you need to track against emails and in your personal calendar in Outlook?

 

Tasks created in OneNote go to Outlook and not To-Do?  So Planner is great, but will be better when linked to Outlook/ToDo tasks for personal task tracking too.

It doesn't, at least not 100%

But my work is very little in the way that I can solve it by myself, almost everything needs to involve other functions, so either I can reply/solve a mail-query directly, or I need to specify it better than Outlook allows anyway, so I ctrl+c ctrl+v the necessary parts to Planner, add my own definitions and so on.

I do use the flags in Outlook as to be able to postpone smaller tasks to the near future, but anything demanding is moved into planner, no mather if it's for myself or for a project.
