Creating and Managing Tasks in Microsoft To-Do

Microsoft To-Do is a task management app that helps you stay organized and productive. Here's how to create and manage tasks in Microsoft To-Do:

Creating a Task:

Open the Microsoft To-Do app on your device.

To create a new task, click or tap the "+ New Task" field at the top of your task list.

Type in the name of your task and press "Enter" or click outside the task field to save it.

If you want to add more details to the task, click on the task to open it. You can set a due date, add notes, and create sub-tasks.

Managing Tasks:

To mark a task as complete, click the circle to the left of the task name. It will be marked with a checkmark.

To delete a task, click the task to open it, then click the trash can icon.

You can organize your tasks into different lists or groups. Click on the list's name to open it and add tasks.

To prioritize tasks, use the star icon to mark important tasks. You can view your important tasks separately by clicking on the "Important" list.

Organizing Lists:

You can create multiple lists to categorize your tasks. To create a new list, click on "New List" in the left sidebar.

Rename a list by clicking on its name, or delete it by clicking on the three dots next to the list name and selecting "Delete list."

To reorder lists, click and drag a list to your preferred position.

Using My Day:

The "My Day" feature allows you to pick tasks you want to focus on for the day. To add a task to "My Day," click the lightbulb icon next to the task.

You can view and work on tasks in "My Day" separately from your main task list.

Syncing Across Devices:
