Overview: 

---

Microsoft Loop is a collaboration app in Microsoft 365 that helps teams work together in real time. It brings people, content, and tasks into a shared workspace where everyone can contribute, stay aligned, and track progress across projects.

Loop is built around three main elements:

Loop Components:

Portable pieces of content that can be shared and edited across Microsoft 365 apps, including:

• Tables
• Checklists
• Task lists
• Voting tables
• Paragraphs and notes

Changes made to a Loop component automatically sync everywhere it is shared.

Loop Pages:

Flexible workspaces where team members can organize ideas, notes, links, files, and Loop components on a digital canvas.

Loop Workspaces:

Shared project hubs that contain related Loop pages and content. Workspaces help teams keep project information organized and accessible in one location.
