Microsoft To Dorecently rolled out supportfor creating groups of lists. This feature lets you tidy up your navigation menu by nesting related task lists under named folders.

To create a group, press the icon to the right of the “New list” button in To Do’s navigation. Next, type a name for your list group.

With the group created, you’re ready to add some lists to it! Drag and drop any of your lists into the panel below the group’s name. They’ll now belong to the group. You can click the group’s name to hide or reveal the lists which are within it.

Groups are a convenient way to combine related lists of tasks. However, the functionality is currently quite limited. There’s no way to view a list of all the tasks in a group, aggregated from all the lists within it. Groups are static collections of lists, so you can’t use them to create any more complex task management workflows. It’s possible Microsoft will add more group-specific capabilities in the future but for now they’re an organisation mechanism only.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
