Planner tasks in To-Do - Folders organisation
Hello! I'm new to using both ToDo and Planner and I'm quite keen to use ToDo to manage all my actions from my own personal projects AND from team projects (based in Planner). When a Planner task is assigned to me, it appears in the "Assigned to you" list. Is there a way to move the tasks from the "Assigned to you" list into one of my own ToDo lists? For example: I have a list in ToDo called "Waiting for" - i.e. any tasks in which I'm waiting for someone else to complete an action before I can progress. In "Assigned to me" I have 16 tasks from 3 different project. Several of those tasks require someone else to do something before I can progress (e.g. I'm waiting for an external company to get back to me with a quote). I'd like to move those tasks to my "Waiting for" folder so that I can review as part of my weekly review. Is there any way to make something work here? Thanks, AK
Entire Task List Lost
Last week, I had been working most of the day, when my entire task list was suddenly lost. There is nothing. No completed tasks, no in progress, none of the recurring ones. Everything is gone, and this is going to really disrupt my work for... who knows how long. Is there any way to get them back?Meet the new Microsoft Planner: Manage all your tasks and plans in one simple, familiar experience

How Are You Using To Do for Shopping Lists?
Hello, I am using To Do a whole lot in the last month as a family shopping list. We used to use different tools - Wunderlist, Trello and Google Keep, but with the beginning of the Corona crisis, the four of us (two adults, two teenagers) needed something that we could use in sync, to minimize shopping trips and limit the potential Covid-19 exposure. And since the looming shutdown of Wunderlist, we settled on Microsoft To Do. The main need - to synchronize across all our devices is met with Microsoft To Do, but some shortcomings are there as well: there are no "categories" for todo list items - no apparent way to group (or sort) the items in a way that they are found in the physical world (e.g. vegetables, canned stuff, frozen, etc.) we use a "check before" list, before leaving the house to check on the fill stand of the items that should always be there (salt, oil, soap, etc) and add items to the "main" shopping list as necessary there is a possibility to add "sub-tasks" (like for specific shops), but there is no way to drag out sub-tasks in and out of those lists, and if you complete those sub-tasks they are not sorted down like in the main list, and it can become quite crowded in there fast. So we are using mainly one shared list and add items to it according to our meal plan (that we keep in Trello). I would be interested to know, how others are tracking their shopping lists, there are sure more ways to do it - I already saw someone who would preface every item on the list with a code (F for Frozen for Example), so that the list could be sorted alphabetically, but turned out to be categorized.
