Problem Description: Create Checklist Of Tasks

Trying to create a list of tasks that need to be completed daily for team leaders to then review (at a certain time that day) and action/ mark as complete. This daily checklist should then be archived (and viewable) but a new one created for the next working day Moved from: Microsoft 365 and Office | SharePoint | Development

Quick Answer for Office Setup on New Device

Create a SharePoint list called Daily Task Template with columns for Task Name, Assigned To, Due Time, Status, Completed By, and Completed On to hold repeating tasks.

Likely Causes Behind Document Editing Problems Root Factors

• The Microsoft account or license context may not match the purchase or device.

• Cached credentials, outdated builds, or damaged local components can trigger document editing problems.

• A file-specific corruption or add-in conflict can mimic a broader application failure.

Recommended Solution: Restoring Office After Errors

When to use this: Apply these steps when the symptoms match and you can access the relevant Microsoft account or administrator.

1. Create another SharePoint list called Daily Task Log with the same columns plus Checklist Date and Archived to store actual daily checklists.

2. Use Power Automate to run a flow every morning that copies each task from the template into the log, setting Checklist Date to today and Archived to No.

3. In the Daily Task Log, create a view showing only tasks where Checklist Date is today and Archived is No for the current day's checklist, and another view showing all tasks grouped by Checklist Date for a full audit trail.

Alternative Solutions for Secondary Document Fixes

1. Retry the Microsoft-side steps after restarting the app and device.

2. Test the same action in a private browser session or a new blank file to isolate account vs file issues.

3. Capture exact error text and screenshots before contacting Microsoft Support or your administrator.

Working with WPS Office: WPS as a Local Alternative

WPS Office cannot replace Microsoft account, activation, or cloud fixes for this scenario. It remains one of the best free Microsoft Office-compatible alternatives for opening and editing local files.

1. Download and install WPS Office from the official website.

2. Open local Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF files in the matching WPS app.

3. Save a working copy locally while Microsoft-side issues are resolved.

4. Return to Microsoft Office after the primary fix succeeds.

If you need a practical local workspace in the meantime, try WPS Office.

Prevention Tips for Keeping Office Stable Long Term

• Keep one primary Microsoft account for subscriptions and Office sign-in.

• Install updates for Office and Windows before retrying failed workflows.

• Back up important files before repair, reset, or reinstall actions.

• Work on copies and keep version history enabled when available.
