Hello everyone and welcome back to another video today
We aren't done anything into Microsoft to do we're going to be exploring the iOS application talking a little bit about the web version
Android version and Windows version to go into a bit more detail from the last video I did about
Microsoft to do so as you can imagine
Monks off to do is an application that's capturing. A lot of people's attention
it's growing in popularity in terms of
how many features ever having and the additions are actually fixing in the
application which is super positive
If you do want to see what's new with Microsoft to do feel free to check out the video in the cards above
So here we are with the iOS version
I want to give you a tour around this application the additions aren't that dissimilar?
So you have your first page you have my day?
And my day is essentially an area for you to start organizing what you're going to be doing today
It's essentially your today section very similar to duyst
So if you go in that top right hand corner, you can see at the top of the page
You've got my bay important planned and tasks and these are like almost your pinned
Sidebars so you can see all of the most important things
So my day starts basically with the ability to add tasks to this list. So for example from here I could add maybe
by milk because actually I need to do that play some basketball and
You can see once I add all of these they're going into what's called my tasks list
And I can go over to the task list and actually find them at the bottom
now if I at any given point one to two for example
Let's say went into a watch Venom click add to my day and it will automatically go into the my day section
So with every single task in the matter whether it's in a project or list
Or whether it's inside of tasks area. You can do that to any task that isn't already associated to my day
Which is quite helpful, so being able to add a task is quite easy
Of course, I just put my milk there
But you can add steps below them if you really want to do if there's more steps into it than just buying milk you can
Remove it here from my day, too
but you can also add it back again and you may notice a star next to the buy milk at the top and that's
and it to the important list, so if I go back out
obviously you can see it in that important list there and
It makes it a little easier to access. So once I'm in my day, that will also be starred as
important so when you're trying to differentiate
What tasks are important and what are not you can see that by the side now?
There's also remind me so you can click remind me and turn on notifications
now if you haven't done that yet, you can see that on the iOS device pops up allowing you a nudge there and you can
specifically choose a time and a date
so for example
If actually I do need to do that about 10 15 ish so you can be very specific about when you want to be reminded
Now something to note as well. You don't have the ability to add multiple reminders
But I don't think that's really going to be too much of a bother for you
Now you can add what's called a due date
So for example if I'm like, okay, I really need to get up by tomorrow. Then you can add a due date
So essentially you've got by adding it to my day you Ventris entually got start day or or an actual due date
And then you've got a due date which allows you to get a sort of deadline on the task
Now you do have the ability to repeat and you can do that. You can also custom repeat it
So you've also got daily - yearly here, but you've also got the ability to have a custom one
Say for example
If you want every six days something very specifically can I know a lot of people like the iconography as well of this application?
Now here you can also add a file
So for example, you can add it through iOS through photo library camera or files
So if you want to attach something, it's really easy. If you've already got a an actual a
files iCloud file set up
Then you can import it automatically and you can add as many as you like to so that's great news you can add
As many as I don't think they have a limit. I think it may be even 25 megabytes per task which isn't too bad
I don't think you've also got the ability to add a note as well
It's just really really simple and down at the bottom right hand corner there. You can see you can delete tasks too
So that's really all in all what the inside of a task looks like be able to add
Next now the great thing as well is you have the ability to multi select
So for example went to top right hand corner
And I pressed edit and I wanted to highlight maybe the play basketball or watch venom
You can move that you can change the due date or you can move it to a specific
Tasks area personal list etc
So you can move multiple of them and you can even select all again in a given time
You can change the due date on them
So obviously they will stay in today, but you can change the actual due date of the task
You can also move them around too if you're really eager to now up in the top right hand corner
You do have the ability to sort based unimportant. So if you wanted to
Organize that quickly just based on which one's a starred or not
You can do that and you can have it by descending or ascending order and you can also sort by alphabetical
due date
Creation date and whether they're completed so far and you can clear that any given time and it will return to its original status
Now if you've completed a task, so for example, we watch venom the other day
And of course it still retains in a safer go back in
It stills there. So one thing you can do is click hide completed tasks
and of course that will disappear if you want to see show completed tasks you can I know a lot of people do actually like
To see it because they want to know where they've done that in the day
now one of the final things and something you can do inside of all lists is
customizing each of your folders or your lists and that's just by changing the
Header color so you can actually see
Different colors here and five primary colors. I like the dark blue. You can also change the background too
so whether you'll just want a city or a
Plane going up or even a lovely beach
But in this case, I might choose this lovely home one
But you can have it plain if that's something that you just want to keep pretty simple once you click done
Obviously, that's your my day area. And one of the most exciting things as well is in the top right hand corner
you can click this area called suggestions and suggestions are available through all of the editions of Microsoft to do and
Essentially, what you can do is you can look at your overdue and suggested tasks
so for example
You can see here that I've got an would you run five kilometres and maybe I do want to do that today now?
it's already embedded by the looks of it in my tasks area with a due date of
Wednesday the 13th of February now if I wanted to add it to my day area
All I have to do is press the plus and you can see it pops up added to my day and it will disappear
Now it's the same with projects. So for example, it will take out
some of the tasks from the
Areas that you've got so for example that I've got work personal tasks or these are all different lists
So I maybe need to organize Amsterdam trip. So I'm going to click tick that one. I don't need to feed the cat
So I'm going to mark that as complete so you can do that from there or delete the task
I'm I'm not actually needing to order the table. I don't need to wash the car and I don't need to upload articles yet
So all I'm after gonna do is go to done in the top right corner
Now you can see here that the Run 5k
Has been added and I can go back in and actually change the due date for that
maybe until this Thursday and I go back and
The same with the organize the Amsterdam trip so you can see all the details being transferred and you can see some of the examples
Of subtasks here and you can tick them off as you go
So if I go back out to my day
You can see two out three of those tasks are done. And that's essentially all of the my dariya area
It's one of the features. I think actually people do quite enjoy now
Once you've explained my day, you don't really have to explain them important area
You've got areas where you can start asks
which is really easy to do and
If you go back you can also see what tasks you have coming up so you can see okay i'm gonna minimize today
But okay between wednesday and sunday
Although they're in my day
You know
they've actually got a due date of that and also ones that even later so you can click in and
If I change that for example
If I put it as tomorrow and went back, you could probably see it in its own different area called tomorrow
so this is quite a nice view if you're looking to see
Basically your next seven days
Now the tasks area is literally for any of your tasks that don't necessarily have a project list
And it's almost just like a general list. So for example, if you wanted to you could utilize the sorting features
and you can even
Choose the ones that have been added to my day
So all of the my day ones will come up in here
you can even sort them, you know both ascending and descending and you can also go and set them by the
Alphabet that's going to be that's quite a handy one. I know people like that, too
you can customize this theme as well if you want to with those five primary colors and
That can help you get started now just to go over the different lists you've created
So for example, you can see I've got personal and I've taken my passport photo there. I haven't ordered a new table
It's very similar
all you have to do is go to create new list and
They'll prompt you to add a title to that now if I clear all of this and maybe put you know
project a
you can if you want to add an emoji to the start of that say for example, actually, I'm going to change this one to
You know take places to visit
because that could be nice and then I go up to the top right hand corner and change that to red because it's nice and
In there we go a nice background with the actual
plane in the background so you can see here that the emoji has been taken as a
Almost icon of the project which I quite like so you can move that around as well
So for example, if I wanted to move travel to the top I could quite easily do so
And that's really had a great list
lists are really really easy to get on with the real magic inside of lists is the sharing ability so you may see in the
top right hand corner
I've got sharing set up and I will explain how to do that right now with this brand new list
We have the places to visit. So if I go to the plus in the top right hand corner, I can press send
invitation link and essentially that is sent to new members you can copy it and
once you send it to a new member, they'll get access to that and
They can view it and even modify it with a Microsoft to do it count now you can limit access to current members
So what they actually see inside of there so you can cancel the link and you can react sis a link and stop sharing it
Automatically but that makes it a shareable area and the sharing icon appears. Not sure whether you can see the
The you can tell which ones have been shared which ones haven't been seen here
That's a first two in this case have been shared. So you're probably wondering a few of the minor
Idiosyncrasies if I go to the top left hand corner, I can access my profile
I can have the completion sound and if you've got the sound on it sounds fantastic
You can have or choose whether to have those important or planned areas or auto hide empty
Smart lists and that's quite helpful
You can also start importing from vendor lists from here to now all the other stuff is jargon at the bottom all the other
Additional stuff but for example, let's say I just switched off important and I didn't want that anymore
I could have it back on and it would come back on so
That's something that a lot of people like to do have their own custom sidebar in this experience
So, of course the iPad version has three panels
which is something that I know a lot of people like to have the three different panels so they can access the sidebar the
Tasks list and then the context of the task
so if we look at the web version
so the web version doesn't have the theme ability that you can access and also it just
Seems a little bit lacking in design, but I can imagine over the next couple of weeks
They'll definitely be adding to that
You can't add emoji as well sort of like the fundus is zapped out of the web version
But I can imagine that's why because the web version is going to be the least accessed and probably
The least important because a lot of people have windows
Windows the windows Edition does have a few different things. It's got live tiles
It's also got Cortana as well. So you can connect up with Cortana which is something that a lot of people like to do
So for example seeing your list of tasks coming up
You've also got emoji connected to that one
And what I would say as a Windows Edition looks like one of the best it's also got a dark edition now
Now Android is the one that has something called snoozed tasks
You can snooze a task for five minutes to one hour
this is currently in beta but it's something that I know a lot of people loved inside of an app called swipes and
It is something that if Microsoft to do ads is definitely going to be an exciting application. I
Did see a lot of people in the comments in the what's new to Microsoft to do video
20:19 do mention that obviously, you know, Google Tasks. Why are you comparing to that Francesco? Yes
Google Tasks is an application that I do compare
It is a lot far behind from Microsoft to do but if Google paid even a fraction of attention to it
I think it could quickly catch up with to do now one other thing. I wanted to mention as well is
That a lot of people are saying and how happy they are with Microsoft to do and how it's progressing
It's definitely something to consider in
2019 if you like to watch my downsizing to-do list applications feature. Please do check that one out and because it might become valuable
Let me know in the comments whether you have any questions if you would like to become a patron today as well
