What is Microsoft Loop?
Microsoft Loop is a co-creation app and feature in Microsoft 365. It allows you to create, edit and organise portable pieces of content that stay in sync wherever they are shared. Microsoft Loop brings together teams, content and tasks across your Microsoft 365 apps – enabling teams to think, plan, and create together in real-time.
The Microsoft Loop app consists of three main elements:
- Loop workspaces are shared spaces for teams to group and organise all Loop pages and components.
- Loop pages are flexible, indefinite canvases where you can collaborate on all your components, links, tasks, and data.
- Loop components are portable pieces of content that stay in sync across all the places (chat, invites, Word, etc) they are shared.
Note: Loop currently doesn’t support external sharing for guests or external users. Multi-Geo capabilities are not yet fully supported for Microsoft Loop as data storage location is determined by where the content is originally created.

Loop Workspaces
Loop workspaces are shared spaces that allow you and your team to see and group everything important to your project, making it easy for you to catch up on what everyone is working on and track progress toward shared goals.
Loop Pages
Loop pages are flexible canvases in the Loop app where you can bring together people and all your components, links, tasks, and data. Loop pages can start small and continue to grow to match the size of your ideas. Loop pages can be shared across M365 apps as a link or as an embedded Loop component.
Loop Components
Loop components are portable pieces of content that stay in sync across all the places they are shared. Components allow you to collaborate in the flow of work – on a Loop page or in a chat, email, meeting, or document. They can be lists, tables, notes, and more – you’re always working with the latest information in your preferred app, like Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Word, Whiteboard, and the Loop app.
