Microsoft Loop is a collaborative workspace designed to help teams think, plan, and create together. It combines a flexible canvas with portable components that sync across apps like Microsoft Teams, Outlook, and OneNote.
Key Features:
Loop Components: Small pieces of content (lists, tables, notes) that stay updated wherever they’re shared.
Loop Pages: Dynamic workspaces where teams can organize ideas, tasks, and links.
Loop Workspaces: Shared spaces that group everything related to a project, making collaboration seamless.
Loop is part of Microsoft 365, offering real-time collaboration and integration with other Microsoft apps. You can explore more about it here.
