How to Set Reminders in Microsoft To Do

‍

‍

Reminders are distinct from due dates; they provide a specific notification at a time of your choosing to ensure you don't forget to start a task. Here is the simple guide:

‍

1. On your Microsoft 365 main dashboard, click the App launcher in the upper-left corner.
2. From the app list, select To Do to open Microsoft To Do.
3. Click on an existing task to open the detail pane on the right side of the screen.
4. In the detail pane that opens on the right, click Remind me (the bell icon).
5. Select a preset time such as Later Today, Tomorrow, or Next Week.
6. To choose a specific hour, click Pick a date & time and use the selectors to set the exact moment you want the alert.
7. Check that the bell icon is now filled or has a time next to it to confirm the alert is active, and you’re all set.
