Hi! The ability to have a "to do" panel next to the calendar and then "drag-n-drop" the tasks into the calendar to plan time and book completion is one of the best features of outlook, as it stands today. Not only can I book an appointment for my tasks, but I can also track how much time I spend on my tasks and easily debut my hours to the client. So please add the view option for tasks

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.

The To-Do Bar (for Calendar, specifically) is an absolute must-have feature. The fact that this is discontinued currently is honestly baffling. The user should not be forced to toggle back and forth between Mail and Calendar to have all critical information they need in front of them at one time. Really hope this decision is revisited and reconsidered.

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.

Hi!

The ability to have a "to do" panel next to the calendar and then "drag-n-drop" the tasks into the calendar to plan time and book completion is one of the best features of outlook, as it stands today. Not only can I book an appointment for my tasks, but I can also track how much time I spend on my tasks and easily debut my hours to the client.

So please add the view option for tasks
