How to add back the daily task list side view panel when viewing my month on Outlook Calendar?

There used to be a side panel view that showed the daily task list when I clicked on a specific day in my calendar, while in monthly view. After the update, I can no longer see the task list panel, and despite toggling around, I have been unable to find the option to turn the view back on. Could you please help me with this issue?

    Hello @Humay Vahid,

    Thank you for posting your question on Microsoft Q&A Forum!

    The Daily Task List side panel that was available in the classic Outlook for Windows has been removed in the New Outlook for Windows experience. This change is part of Microsoft’s design update to unify Outlook across platforms. So currently, there is no option to restore the old To-Do Bar or daily task list panel in the monthly calendar view.

    Instead, you can use the My Day pane to view and manage tasks alongside your calendar:

    1. In the New Outlook for Windows, click the My Day icon (calendar with a checkmark) in the upper-right corner.

    When you select the My Day icon (next to Notifications), you can display Calendar or To Do panes throughout Outlook.

    1. The side pane will open with two tabs:
    • To Do: Shows your tasks.
    • Calendar: Displays your daily schedule.

    Select Switch views to display the Agenda view or Day view. Here's where you can also choose which calendars to display.

    1. You can add tasks, mark them complete, and switch between views easily.

    For more details, please check this article: Use My Day with To Do in Outlook

    If you prefer the old experience, you may switch back to Classic Outlook (if available in your organization) or provide feedback to Microsoft Feedback Portal.

    Thank you again for your patience and raising this important topic, engaged member of the community.

    Warmest Regards.
