Step-by-Step Guide

To start with the settings in Microsoft To Do, open the application and go directly to the gear icon for settings.

Here you will see a selection of settings specifically designed for Microsoft To Do. You can customize various options to enhance the app's usability.

One of the most important options you can adjust is the confirmation before deleting tasks. This is particularly useful to avoid unintentional deletions. If this happens to you frequently, this feature is essential.

Additionally, you can set new tasks to always appear at the top of your list. This ensures that the newest tasks are immediately visible, preventing you from losing track of them.

Marking important tasks with a star is another practical function. These items will automatically appear at the top of your list, helping you keep track of the most important tasks.

Another interesting point is the sound notifications that you can enable when you mark a task as completed. The auditory cue can provide an additional motivation boost.

Next, there is the option to display context menus. Although this is not the central function of the app, it can help you navigate quickly.

Reminder notifications are an individual decision. If you mainly use Microsoft To Do on your phone, receiving constant notifications can quickly become annoying.

You can choose which lists should be displayed in your view. The available lists include: Important, Planned, Assigned to Me, Completed, and All. You can change the visibility of these lists at any time to maintain a clear overview.

It is also useful to automatically hide empty lists so they do not constantly take up space in your user interface, displaying only lists with included tasks.

If you are connected to social media platforms like Twitter or Facebook, you have the option to directly share tasks. This feature is optional and depends on your personal preferences.

You also have the option to add team members to your Microsoft To Do. This feature can be extremely beneficial when working in a group.

Within the general settings, you can adjust the language and timezone of your Microsoft 365 login data. This function is useful to ensure that all appointments and tasks are displayed correctly.

Changing the display language and timezone is done directly in the Office settings accessed through Microsoft To Do. This helps you customize the application to your preferences.

Lastly, you have the option to customize the design of Microsoft To Do. You can choose between various themed colors, opting for a dark or light mode. This can significantly enhance the visual experience of your work.

Summary

With the right settings in Microsoft To Do, you can maximize your productivity and tailor the app to your individual needs. You have learned which specific options help you efficiently manage tasks, how to work with sound and notifications, and how to adjust display language and timezone.
