Set and update task progress

Sharing out task progress doesn't have to involve complicated calculations. In Planner, it's simple. Tasks can be:

Not started
In progress
Completed

Sometimes you may need more than simple task progress:

Need a to-do list to track progress? Try using a checklist to keep track of task details!
Looking for big-picture plan progress? The Charts view provides overall progress of all tasks in your plan, so you can see how things are going.

Done with a task?

To quickly mark one of your tasks as Completed, point to it and select the check mark.

Click the checkmark to complete a task

Using a touch screen? If you're not using a mouse, you won't see the check box to mark something as completed. Instead, check out a few other ways to update progress.

Tip: Completed tasks are hidden at the bottom of the task list. Scroll down and choose Show completed.

Just getting started?

On the Board, select Group by > Progress,

Click Group by, and select Progress

and then drag tasks between columns to quickly update your plan on the fly.

Drag tasks to the appropriate column

Other ways to update progress

Click the progress icon and change status

You can also update task progress by selecting the task itself and using the Progress drop-down box.

Use Outlook 2016 with your keyboard and a screen reader such as JAWS or Narrator, the built-in Windows screen reader, to add an appointment to your calendar. You can also copy an appointment and let others know your availability for meetings.

Notes:

New Microsoft 365 features are released gradually to Microsoft 365 subscribers, so your app might not have these features yet. To learn how you can get new features faster, join the Office Insider program.
For keyboard shortcuts, go to Keyboard shortcuts for Outlook.
This topic assumes that you are using JAWS. To learn about JAWS for Windows, refer to JAWS for Windows Quick Start Guide.
This topic assumes that you are using the built-in Windows screen reader, Narrator. To learn more about using Narrator, go to Complete guide to Narrator.

Press Alt+T to move to the Start time area. Focus is on the start date for the appointment.
Tips: Outlook can understand date information in many different forms.
- You can type in ordinary words instead of dates. For example, you can type Today, Tomorrow, or any of most holiday names. You can even type something like Two weeks from tomorrow.
- You can also use different formats when you type an actual date. For example, you can type Apr 25, April 25, 25 April, or 4/25.
  
  Outlook automatically translates each of these into its standard format, MM/DD/YYYY.
After you type in a date, press Enter. Focus changes to the Start time box. You can type in the time of day, or you can use the Up or Down arrow keys to browse through different times of day until you reach the one that you want.

- To move to the Notes area, press Enter.
After you enter the start time, press Alt+D, or press the Tab key, to move to the End Date area. Focus is on the End Date box.
By default, Outlook enters the same date as the Start Date in this box. To accept this date, press Enter. Or, you can type over this date by using the same methods that you used to type in a Start Date (see Step 4). When you finish typing an End Date, press Enter.
The focus moves to the End time box. The end time is automatically set to half an hour after the start time. To change it, type a new time, or browse the options using the Up or Down arrow key. When done, press Enter.
To move to the Notes area, press the Tab key until you hear, "Notes edit." In Narrator, you hear, "Message editing.". Type any information that you want for the appointment.

The focus is on today. To navigate forward or backward in the calendar, use the arrow keys. To jump between calendar events, press the Tab key to go forward and Shift+Tab to go backward.
When on the appointment you want to copy, press Ctrl+C. JAWS announces: "Copied selection to clipboard." Narrator announces the command.
Navigate to the date and time you want to schedule the new appointment at, and press Ctrl+V. JAWS announces: "Pasted from clipboard." Narrator announces: "<time, date>, one event."

The new appointment is added to your calendar. The subject of the new appointment starts with "Copy," but you can edit it if you want to.
To open the appointment for further editing, press the Tab key, and then press Ctrl+O. When done, press Alt+H, A, V to save and close.
