However, Microsoft has come up with a brand new to-do list app, Microsoft To Do, and the future of Wunderlist is uncertain. Microsoft To Do, as mentioned earlier, is a brand new task scheduling app, which offers almost all the features of an ideal to-do list app. Its intuitive UI and themed structure provide smooth and efficient task scheduling.

Whether you need to buy a bottle of milk on the way home or complete the project proposal at work, our life consists of tasks. Up until recently, there was no good option to manage individual tasks in SharePoint and Office 365. That changed though with the introduction of Microsoft To Do.
What is Microsoft To Do?
Microsoft To Do is a cloud-based personal task management tool. It is part of an Office 365 suite, so that means that it is accessible, just like the rest of Office 365 apps in the cloud (read: from any device with an internet connection).
Microsoft To Do vs. Planner
Unlike Planner, which is a TEAM task management tool, To Do is strictly an app that is accessible just by the user (unless you share your tasks/lists with others). Using an analogy of OneDrive and SharePoint, where OneDrive is personal storage space in the cloud, while SharePoint is a team collaboration tool, To Do is a personal task management tool, unlike Planner.
Microsoft To Do vs. Outlook Tasks

What are Microsoft To Do’s core features?
List functionality
Tasks can be organized into Lists. A list is essentially a group of related tasks (i.e., shopping list, things to pack for vacation list).
Groups
You can take it one step further and group lists into Groups! For example, if you have a shopping list + a list of activities to do around the house this weekend, you can group the two separate lists into one group called Home Tasks. It is just another way for you to organize tasks, that’s all!
My Day
My Day is a built-in list that allows you to concentrate on Tasks you deem important on a given date.
Mobile App
Just like with many other Office 365 Apps, To Do has its a mobile app so you can access and complete the tasks on the go.
Integration with Planner
Microsoft To Do integrates natively with Planner and automatically pulls in the tasks from all the plans you are part of. This one is huge! It essentially allows you to access both your personal (i.e., buy milk) and work-related (approve a document) tasks all in one place.
-->Use the Microsoft Graph To Do API to create an app that connects with tasks across Microsoft To Do clients. Build a variety of experiences with tasks, such as the following:
- Create tasks from your app’s workflow, for example, from email or notifications, and save them in To Do. Use the linkedResource entity to store the link back to your app.
- Sync your app’s existing tasks with To Do and create a single task view for better prioritization and manageability.
- Manage To Do tasks in a custom business application.
Currently, the API supports only permissions delegated by the signed-in user.

Linked resource

Track changes using delta query
For performance reasons, you may want to maintain a local cache of objects, and periodically synchronize the local cache with the server, using delta query.
The following To Do API resources support delta query:
