Shared Lists
I'm really disappointed that this application has not supported the feature to allow shared lists. I use Wunderlist now and honestly have not made the change to To-Do because of this. I use it at work and collaborate with my work colleagues have access to the same lists for a number of things and then my wife and I both have access to some of the lists so we can both update. If she needs to make a grocery store list, it's automatically populated to my phone so I can swing by the store on the way home from work. Or if I need something, I can go into the list and add it so she sees it the next time she's at that store.
I just find it hard to believe this feature was dropped when we are collaborating more and more online and there are even other Microsoft 365 applications which all link together to make collaborating easier. This would be such a lovely extension of that if it was all tied together.
- in my opinion, would suggest using Planner for share and collaboration if you use O365

Thank you Dave Norton. I tested a bit now. Do you have a good experience of using planner? A bit annoying it is not possible to add an image.
I have had mixed results with Planner.
It would be nice if Planner had built in ability to sync to Outlook, you need to use 3rd party service today.
I think Planner is better for sharing since To Do does not have sharing today.
I think the ability to have comments so everyone can update the task is much better than ToDo.
The subtask feature is better than To Do.
In my opinion, To Do or Wunderlist should not be used for business unless you need to share/manage tasks outside your organization. If you need to share outside your domain, Planner is limited to updating via Groups.
Planner also works with Teams, another benefits, ToDo does not.
- I personally agree with you guys, it would be fantastic that this application allows us to share.

Hi Kurt Lane, Qingfen Lin and Jorge Garcia Perez , I'm super happy to let you know that we are putting the finishing touches on sharing now. Stay tuned!
Hi Keturah. Sharing now shows up as a feature in our To-Do. However, it doesn't seem to work. I sent two colleagues the link to a To-Do list, and when they click it, it only takes them to their To-Do page, and my list is not available to them.
I checked the options page, and the "limit access to current members" option is turned off. If it were on, I could understand why nobody can be added to my list, but it was off by default.
Any thoughts on what might be going on here?

I can't like this post, why?
Anyway, totally agree. No sharing todo list has limited value.
