Question

When I use my calendar, and view it monthly, I cannot see my tasks for each day on the right side of the screen.

Kameron Peterson 60

When viewing my calendar in the monthly version, I cannot see my tasks for the day, which were previously located on the right side of the screen. I know I can click the "My day" icon at the top and it will show my tasks. This is different, and it looks too jumbled; it's no longer clean like it once was. Additionally, when I click on a specific day, my tasks were previously displayed on the right. Now, this does not happen.

Hi @Kameron Peterson,

Thank you for your response. If you only want to display tasks and do not want to show the monthly calendar, you can click here to display tasks only:

Additionally, I’d like to provide more details: if you want the right panel to display any information, you can simply click on the items you prefer. You can even select all three: Calendar, People, and Task.

Thank you for your response. I think Microsoft updated the Outlook Calendar format. The new format seems "messy" with the whole month calendar added to the right compared to before, where I could just view my tasks for the day (sans the calendar). Thanks for your help!

I want to display my monthly calendar and have what I have booked in for the day to the right. I've now worked out how to click 'my day' at the top right but it doesn't stay open and it also doesn't function well when I'm trying to click on another day to see what I have booked in. Another issue with it is that when an event has passed it doesn't show - so for example yesterday I wanted to use a teams link for a meeting that had already started, because the time had passed it didn't show in 'my day.' I had to log into Teams separately in order to get the link. As Kameron says, the new format is doesn't function well. Thanks

Hi @Phoebe,

Thank you for sharing. Please allow me to provide you with the following information:

At the moment, the Outlook web does not support a right-side task pane like the classic Outlook. I’ve noticed that this feature is attracting a lot of attention from users.

In this case, you can visit the following link: Feedback Portal.

After accessing it, please create a post expressing your desire to have a task pane displayed on the right side in the Outlook web. This action will help you connect with others who share the same need. When a post receives high engagement, Microsoft’s product team will pay attention to this feature and may provide a similar functionality in the future.

If you have any other questions, feel free to share them with me. I’ll be happy to assist you.

I am also having this same issue. I miss the task pane! The "My Day" option does not show my colleagues' calendars, even when I have them selected in the main view. I am trying to follow the steps outlined here, but when I click on View there is no additional sub-menu. I can't the Layout button or options. Is there another way to find those options?

I am trying to use the Feedback link to submit this feedback as @Ryan-N suggests, but the "send" button is grayed out. Is there another way I can submit it?

Hi @Sugarman, Sarah,

Thank you for sharing. The steps I provided in the post apply to the Outlook Classic version, so those options will not appear in Outlook New or Outlook Web. The “Send” button being grayed out might be because some required information hasn’t been filled in completely, or you can directly share your feedback in the thread mentioned above to join an existing discussion from another user in the community.

If you have any other questions, feel free to share them with me. I’ll be happy to assist you.

Answer 3

It seems that the issue you are experiencing with the calendar not displaying tasks on the right side in the monthly view may be related to changes in the interface or functionality of the calendar application. Unfortunately, the provided context does not contain specific information about the changes to the calendar task display in Outlook or any troubleshooting steps for this particular issue.

If you are looking for a way to manage your tasks effectively, you might consider using the "My day" icon, as you mentioned, to view your tasks separately. However, for the specific functionality you are missing, it may be beneficial to check for any updates or changes in the application settings or consult the support resources for Outlook to see if there are any known issues or solutions available.

Thank you! I still prefer the former version. The new view is not very clean on the right side of my screen. Thanks again!
