Well, as of now, there doesn’t seem to be any direct way to bring back this feature. But there do exist a couple of handy workarounds that might come in handy for you.

METHOD 1

First off, you can use the My Day pane to view and manage tasks alongside your calendar. Here’s how it can be done:

  1. In the New Outlook for Windows, click the My Day icon (calendar with a checkmark) in the upper-right corner.
  2. The side pane will open with two tabs:
  • To Do : Shows your tasks.
  • Calendar : Displays your daily schedule.
  1. You can add tasks, mark them complete, and switch between views easily.

METHOD 2

You can switch back to the Classic Outlook as this version still has the said feature. However, you’ll have to get in touch with your organization and ask them first if they are willing to do this downgrade.
