From Article ID: 2998445 on the Microsoft support site:
"The Tasks menu option will be removed from SharePoint Online during the next few weeks. Additionally, theSync to Outlook button will be removed at a later date.
If you’re currently syncing a SharePoint tasks list to Microsoft Outlook, tasks will continue to sync for approximately one year following this announcement. The personal
Tasks page will also continue to be available for one year. After that time, this functionality will be removed and will no longer be available or supported."
Why on earth would Microsoft remove this amazing feature? The only reason I can think of is that they are going to implement it in some other way, but I can't see a more simple way than how it currently is. Syncing tasks assigned to people in SharePoint with their outlook tasks is a huge part of the workflow that my company uses.. it's such an amazing feature that we rely on heavily. There are literally thousands of people scratching their heads right now because it is such a widely used feature. Can someone from Microsoft please enlighten us as to why this is being removed and how we are supposed to sync sharepoint tasks with outlook once this change happens?
