How can I assign tasks to list members in Microsoft To-Do?

Now, you can work together on tasks, as the tech giant added a task assignment feature in To-Do.

If you work on a shared list, all you have to do is to @mention someone to assign them a task. This is the simplest method, but you can also assign tasks in the classic way.

The traditional method consists of manually assigning tasks to members from the app’s menu. All you need to do is navigate to the Task you want somebody else to do, and assign it to them.

1. 1. Open Microsoft To-Do on your device.

2. 2. Navigate to the Tasks section in the menu on the left side of the screen.

   

3. 3. Click on the task that you want to assign.

4. 4. In the right details panel that appears, click on Assign to.

5. 5. Now you will see a new pop-up window with the list members. Click on the member to whom you want to assign the task.

6. 6. Also, if you don’t want to clutter your lists with too many related tasks, you can create steps or sub-tasks to keep everything in order.

7. 7. Go back to the details panel and click on Add step.

   

8. 8. Complete the step’s text box with whatever you want.
9. 9. Add as many steps to your task as you want by repeating the process from steps 7 and 8.
10. 10. After you add the steps, you will always find them in the details panel, where you will be able to check them off as soon as they’re completed.

This way, with some added steps and task assignments, you will increase your workflow and productivity. You will also keep things more organized and easy to access.

After you assign a task to a member, all the other members in your shared list will be able to see who has which task.
