The funny thing about MS apps is all of them do something similar, but not everything. The landscape of MS apps is too broad. Why can't they just create a single app that has all the capabilities of Planner, OneNote, Loop, etc and get it over with already.

Per your weekly newsletter, I can tell the difference in the editing style. Actually, it reminds me a lot of the style Ali Abdall uses, especially the way the camera footage is done and the moving outline on the box.

Would love to see you do a video on how to use this as a diary.

I currently use One Note but would love to switch to Loop.

I’ve managed to move almost everything I had on One Note over to loop but my diary.

Main thing stopping me is not having tags as I use these for every note i take in a day.

Great video again. One thing I found out the other day is that guest links only work if your organisation is NOT using sensitivity labels but it will come later in the year 🤞🤞🤞🤞

For my part, I'm not yet ready to leave One Note for Loop. For me, it lacks too many valuable features, such as a real ribbon for displaying possible actions (e.g. inserting a file or image). Also, the hierarchy of pages and sections is far too limited for me (I have around 3, 500 pages in my current One Note, which would be impossible to switch to Loop). And finally, the search options are also too limited for me. In short, for the time being, I prefer to stay with One Note!

I waited to the end of writing this warmly meant comment. :-) Great that you mentioned it is only On-Line.

[igicolangelo]

Good presentation ! I've got 2 questions :
1) How can you share externally ? Did you need to make some tenant settings? Because I can share my page link only inside my organization
2) How can I migrate loop workspaces from a tenant to another tenant?
Thank you for the answers

Great Video @Scott - I have been using Loop for almost a year and it is getting better and better - the only I wish was available right now is being able to open Loop directly inside Teams - The loop app can be added to Teams, and yes you can see your Loop workspaces, but clicking a workspace opens the workspace directly in the browser - would be better to open directly in teams if you could change the settings for the Loop app in teams... maybe it is on the way!!!

Can we set the loop components permission for the viewer only ?

[guarins]

good day! great video thanks a lot! but i still have a doubt, is it possible to share with somebody ¨external¨ only a component of an entire page??

[ttbirds]

great video! If I have a page called Meeting Notes and each Sub Page represents meeting notes for a specific meeting, can a default template be applied automatically when creating a new Sub Page is created?

[PaweW-tdwt]

This is already a great tool for project management. The only thing I miss is a window for communication within the project, something like task comments in Planner. It should be a separate window because now adding a comment makes the content less readable. What is your opinion on this matter?

[PaweW-tdwt]

Isn't access to the Loop site for people outside the organization dependent on the SharePoint configuration?

[theol]

The one most important question (by far) before entrusting all your notes to one of those shiny new apps is: How will you get them back out of there once the need arises? "Exporting" them one-by-one as PDFs is hardly a solution. I've been bitten by that problem in the past, and now it's largely back to TXT and RTF files on my own storage for me.

[bradendriscoll]

Why do I not have that same PLUS/ADD icon next to my Workspace name? I'd like to click PLUS --> add link, but it is missing for me.

[kingiam]

Can you add attachments directly into loop yet? Not just links

[smarcsoft]

It still does not beat Notion and basic capabilities are still missing such as the ability to embedd part of an excel spreadsheet in a loop page, Still lots of work to do to make it a real alternative but that’s a good start.

[richardmoncriffe]

How microsoft loop different from notion?

[PierrePaulLandry]

AKAIK, Loop still doesn't have Search for content. A real show stopper. Also, history is only per page, so it is cumbersome to see what has been changed. Progressing indeed, albeit very slowly

[budzugan]

what is a loop Page? is it sharepointSlide Page? a Fluid file? where is it stored?
