# Microsoft Loop

> Shared workspaces and pages with components that sync across apps

Microsoft Loop is a collaboration app built from three parts: workspaces that group everything for a project, pages that act as flexible canvases, and components such as lists and tables that stay in sync wherever they are shared. It is free with a personal Microsoft account and comes with Microsoft 365 work and school accounts rather than being sold on its own.

## Key features

- **Workspaces:** Shared spaces that group the pages, links and files for a project, so a team can see what everyone is working on and track progress toward shared goals.
- **Pages:** Flexible canvases that bring together components, links, tasks and data. A page can be shared across Microsoft 365 apps as a link or as an embedded component.
- **Loop components:** Lists, tables and notes that stay in sync wherever they are shared, including Teams, Outlook, OneNote and Whiteboard. They are not supported with personal Microsoft accounts.
- **Page templates:** Templates set up a page for project context, meeting notes or a team decision, and an insert menu adds components, mentions and dates inline.
- **Copilot in Loop:** Helps a team co-create content and catch up on changes to a page. It requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot plan and a work or school account.
- **Suggested files for new workspaces:** When a workspace is created, Loop searches for relevant files and documents and offers to add them.

## Good for

- Teams that already work in Microsoft 365, Teams and Outlook
- Agendas, task lists and notes that have to stay in sync across apps
- Personal projects on a free Microsoft account

## Worth knowing

- Loop is not sold on its own: work use comes with a Microsoft 365 subscription that includes OneDrive or SharePoint storage.
- Microsoft's plans page names Loop only under Business Standard and Premium, while its Loop support page says any work account with that storage can create workspaces.
- Microsoft's support page says Loop does not currently support external sharing with guests or people outside the organization.
- Copilot in Loop needs a Microsoft 365 Copilot plan on work accounts and is not available with personal accounts, even on Microsoft 365 Personal or Family.
