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.

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! Similar to Kurt's original post, I use Wunderlist with work colleagues and with my wife. She, obviously, doesn't have an account with my small business. In order for Teams+Outlook to work correctly, I need to use my work account with To Do. However, neither of us can share lists because she has a Microsoft personal account and I have a Microsoft work(/school) account. Apparently the two aren't allowed to speak to one another? It's a very strange setup. Will this get fixed, or should I move my email/domain to Google, then get us all signed up with Microsoft personal accounts, and use the free version of Teams and To Do? Thank you!

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

I personally agree with you guys, it would be fantastic that this application allows us to share.

in my opinion, would suggest using Planner for share and collaboration if you use O365

    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?

  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.

    Hi Dave Norton and Qingfen Lin,
    
    If you're using both Microsoft To-Do and Planner, you may find this flow handy. You can add your assigned tasks to Microsoft To-Do by following the instructions here: https://todosupport.helpshift.com/a/microsoft-to-do/?p=web&s=integrations&f=can-i-use-microsoft-to-do-with-planner&l=en
