Outlook on the web has had two interfaces available: one with a complete feature set (known as Premium) and one with reduced functionality (known as Light or sometimes Lite). Tasks can be edited and categorized according to how the user wishes them to be sorted. Rich editing features like bold, italic, underline, numbering, and bullet points were also introduced. The app provides the user with fields such as subject, start and end dates, percent complete, priority, and how much work was put into each task. A feature added was the ability to set due days and sort and filter the tasks according to those criteria. A user can create tasks, put them into categories, and move them to another folder.
