Hi @Wendy Gunawan Liang ,

Welcome to our forum!

Looks like your issue is more related to Add-in development, please kindly understand that the Outlook tag here we mainly focus on general issues about Outlook desktop client. Based on my research, i found an official article which introduces the detail information: Build your first Outlook add-in.

If it doesn't help, in order to better solve your problem, we will add "Office Development" tag. Thanks for your understanding and support!

The TaskPane that you see in the Tasks module is not extensible and cannot be customized or altered by add-ins. There is also no support for custom Task Panes in Outlook web add-ins for Tasks. Task Panes are limited to displaying only when reading or composing emails or appointments.

Hi eric, thanks a lot for the answer, just want to confirm again, so on "To Do" section (My day, important, Planned, Flagged Email, Tasks) we cannot customized anything using outlook web add-ins? even to add the custom command when we right-clicked the task or flagged email? (this is the alternative if the taskpane is not possible)
