Have visited various channels on MS Loop. Most knew what they were on about, but tended to waffle and were awkward to grasp. You're the first to explain it succinctly. Have subscribed...!

Thanks for a realy good video.

I think for my company, most employees struggle to use just a few apps, and they can't fully utilize them. Pushing for more apps with functionalities that are partially found in other apps is pointless. Unfortunately, there are few users who are capable of learning and adopting new apps. The challenge today for users is that the development is moving too fast, and they can't keep up.

I want to use Loop to do bug tracking, so when all my "boomer" co-workers who will only use email to communicate bugs chaotically start that up, then I can drop in a component like it's a ticket and tell them to refer to the "ticket"...update the ticket...check the ticket...instead of constantly reply and running through chaotic email threads. I see Loop as a way to get people out of the email channel, even when they think they are still on it.

Hi,
Loved to see this tool. These would be great for PM and write a work instructions for implementing new projects

As for ideas, it would be nice to have Outlook calendar syncing within a loop page

It looks like notion? I have the M365 subscription, I’ve yet to really fully use everything I have access to! You’ve inspired me to explore more, thanks!

[arainla]

Great video and great tool! I just hope MS doesn’t suddenly change direction and go focus on some new tool.

Hi- your videos are so clear and helpful! I am wondering if there is a way to pull documents from a team site to be seen and accessed in Loop? So if I have polices/procedures etc stored in teams- can I show them in my Loop page?

[altruologist]

Excellent video - well paced. I would like to see how Loop is used in the other apps such as Outlook? Do you create Loop components in Outlook or is it used to share components?

Please create a project team’s norms section (how we’ll work together). Would love for this to replace one note but would need to be able to have formal design pages available so we can export notes and auto email to clients. Please and thank you! So exciting!

[carlosallanofficial]

I've been using loop for some time and I would love to have a collapsible section

[leoistari]

It should have space for drawing, in mehcanical or architecture related works it would be pretty useful

[Alejandro-ofd]

It would be nice to have check box in addition to Checklist.

[firmhand]

omg, the ui is eerily similar to notion

[kingman.mp]

I can really see huge potential for Loop where I work (particularly in saving money on third-party collaboration app licences), but IT support refuse to adopt, saying it's not a standard 365 app and they don't support non-standard apps. The frustration is immense! 🤷‍♀

Hi @BulbDigital- thanks great quick video of what new items are available in Loop. I have a specific question. I am trying to use Loop in my dept for collab and using it for documentation - a bit like Confluence / Notion. My question is - is it possible to put an anchor or a link within the page - so you don't have to scroll up/down to find the specific part. Imagine - if at the top of your loop page- you have a table of content - with 5 entries - each somehow hyperlinked to the relevant content further below on the page. Then if anyone wants to go to read the content tied to say the 4th entry - they should be able to click on the 4th entry on the table of content - and it should allow a user to put a url link within the page to the content further below in the page that covers content related to the 4th entry. It could even be a loop component link further down the page. I am just trying to understand if that is possible using loop. Would appreciate if you could help clarify. Thanks

Another thing, I would like to make different areas that might be outside of Workspaces, like dedicated areas so to speak

[crescenzocommunications]

Love these features ... is it possible to share a loop component or workspace with an external user (for example, can I create a project workspace for my client that we can both access, even though we have different email addresses?

[Chris-cxwl]

But why would you use this over Notion? It’s a straight clone. Except for the “loop” component which is kind of like the “sync” block.

I have started using loop for my meeting notes now. I have a series of meetings over the year say about 30 meetings and when I add each one to a workspace then I need to toggle between meetings. At some point it may become difficult to toggle between these meetings with separate agenda but common follow-up tasks which may need some updates during each meeting. Can I create an automatic link to follow-up tasks added to the entire series so that I don't have to go back again and toggle between meetings to view the progress. what I mean is having multiple Agenda pages containing and common link to the follow-up tasks. is it currently doable.
