Microsoft ToDo, Outlook tasks, OneNote - doesn't work (Folders)
I have a major flaw (unless I'm not understanding it correctly). I include Outlook/OneNote training in my productivity workshops and looking forward to integrating Microsoft ToDo into the training. ...
Hi, the functionality hasn't changed but the only version of OneNote that has the ability to create Outlook tasks is OneNote for Office (not OneNote online or OneNote for Windows 10).
OneNote has never had full task functionality (due dates, recurring tasks, etc.) which is where Outlook fills the gap.
You can still do it, but make sure you use OneNote for Office (it might be called OneNote 2016).
I have the same problem. Using Onenote app on windows (office Professional Plus 2016). I add a task in onenote but very quickly it loses the connection to outlook. Hovering over shows this text: We couldn't find this Outlook task. You can only edit your own tasks that haven't been deleted.
I'm seeing this same problem using OneNote Windows desktop app (Office 365 Pro Plus). I've found that the tasks are actually getting deleted and I can sometimes find them in my deleted items if I catch them before our retention policy permanently deletes them. Seems to happen when I edit the OneNote page with the linked task sometime later.
