Whoa. Totally opened my eyes. Gotta come back to Lists in its current form. Much amazing!

[@officeskillswithamy]

Thank you for the comment! Good luck!

You are welcome, happy that it helped!

[@eclecticshenanigans]

I am trying to figure out how to move away from 3rd party apps and rely on the O365 tools. I love how your structured this video...gives me a lot of insight that's easily understandable.

[@officeskillswithamy]

Thank you so much, glad to hear that my video helped you!

[@YuriOvW]

Hi there Amy, this was a very good video! There is way more to both than I was aware of. Microsoft should have you on the payroll!
My setup, I have a few pc's, my main pc is dual boot win11 and Linux mint. Linux is running win10 in virtual machine. I mostly use Linux, but I like access to windows without reboot. When I get a chance, I like to test out the stuff from your videos, discovering my inner nerd. I like your videos much better than Kevin's cookie company! 😉❤

[@officeskillswithamy]

😂 Loved this! Thank you for the feedback. This video was a fun one, lots of goodies in there 😜 Oh wow, you have got quite the setup there!

I am using List to document the individual tasks that come into my email to have some level of my productivity and verification of my accuracy. Do you think there is another option for this data keeping?

[@officeskillswithamy]

Thank you for the comment. If you are simply tracking small to-do tasks then it may be better to use Microsoft To-Do as this integrates well with emails and tasks (including Planner). BUT if you are keeping a record of tasks to show your workload and projects for a review at work to get a promotion then Lists could add more flexibility for you to add additional content to each item.
I've done another video here on To-Do if you wanted to check it out:

[@EymenOzkan-x7g]

This video is so informative, Thank you! I'm wondering if there's a way to view Tasks in Lists like we do in Planner on Teams under "My Tasks".

[@officeskillswithamy]

Thank you for the question! Yes it is possible but it will require some leg work. You would need to use Power Automate so it gets a bit tricky and it wouldn't sync between the two... But if you did want to implement something then it would be something along the lines of 'when an item is added to a sharepoint list' then 'post a message in a channel,' have the message start with ToDo and then 'when a post starts with ToDo, create a task.'

[@brentmorris8626]

What is the level of Planner that you are using in the demo? -Thanks

[@officeskillswithamy]

Thank you for the comment :) In the video, I was using Planner for the Web. Planner in Teams has most of the features, but they are still rolling out new updates so I focused the video on Planner for the Web.

How do you create dependencies?

[@officeskillswithamy]

Thank you for the comment. To create dependencies in Planner, then you will need Planner Premium. There are a couple of ways to create dependencies in Lists which are sprinkled throughout this video. Hope that this helps!
