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. Open Microsoft To-Do on your device.

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