Hello, Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to assist you. The To-Do bar is not available in New Outlook for Windows. However, tasks and calendar events can be quickly viewed using similar features such as My Day. You can use My Day to see upcoming calendar events and tasks anywhere in Outlook, including Mail, Calendar, and People. Please also check below official links regarding new Outlook features Navigations and My day : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/getting-started-with-the-new-outlook-for-windows-656bb8d9-5a60-49b2-a98b-ba7822bc7627 https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/use-my-day-in-outlook-1ca75cf8-6bfb-4ccb-8efc-7ee5831aef8d#:~:text=In%20My%20Day%2C%20select%20the,the%20top%20of%20the%20panel If there is any update or I misunderstand you, please feel free to let me know. I will continue to assist you. Your understanding and co-operation are highly appreciated. Thanks for your precious time. Have a nice day.

Bring back the To Do bar or I will just revert to the old view.

The Density does not really apply to the My Day feature so the calendar on the right is spread out and I would have to scroll far more. I like being able to see more days than the old To Do (where Microsoft took away the full listing of days a few years ago), but it not very clear and it's not compact enough to make it useful. Below you can see My Day on the left and the old To Do on the right. Although I do like to be able to see the day and date (instead of just Today, Tomorrow etc.) which the old To Do did not give me, it's far easier to use the old To Do - the text is smaller so fits in better, the whole thing is more compact and I and see which day is which more easily.

For anyone else looking, the To Do is (at least as of now) in the New Outlook view. In the upper right area near the close/minimize/maximize buttosn there's a calendar and checkmark icon next to the notification bell. Hit that and it opens a calendar/to do pane.
