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

MicrosoftThank 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.

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
The only benefit in my opinion of adding Planner tasks to ToDo would be sync with Outlook.
MS Planner has so much more than ToDo. Apps4Pro does the same thing and keeps subtasks and comments, ToDo is very limited.
I hope MS does not plan to use ToDo as a business task list, 1 yr and Steps is the only meaningful update means sharing, proper comments, email to tasks may be featured in 2030 (based on the development rate).
I sure hope Joe B lights a fire under the Wunderlist/ToDo team to take less than 1 yr to roll out a meaningful feature like Steps...shame Wunderlist cannot be ported to Azure!!!!

Hi Dave Norton, while releasing Steps may have taken a bit longer than we would have liked, I'm happy to say that we do have quite a bit in the works. We're also thinking of how best to integrate across Microsoft and help surface tasks in helpful ways, no matter if you're using Planner, Microsoft To-Do or Outlook. I want to thank you for bearing with us and I hope you'll stay tuned!
