A Loop component is a portable piece of content that stays in sync across all the places that it is shared.
Loop components allow enable you to collaborate in the flow of your work — in the Loop app or directly in a chat, email, meeting, or document. They can contain lists, tables, notes, and more. With Loop components, you’re always working with the latest information, no matter which app you’re in.
Here’s how to use components in Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Word, and Whiteboard:
Send a Loop component in Microsoft Teams
When you send a Loop component in a Teams chat or channel, everyone will be able to edit it inline and see changes instantly. You can collaborate right inside your message, minimizing the need for long chat threads or switching apps. See how you can do it here.
Use Loop components in Outlook
Within an Outlook email, you can include a Loop component (e.g., table, paragraph, task list). Others can then view and provide comments or edits which will immediately appear in the Outlook mail for you and all others to see. By using Loop components to capture the discussion and context, you can avoid needlessly long email chains. Learn more about this here.
Use Loop components in OneNote
While working in a OneNote notebook, Loop components are live, interactive, and collaborative, providing a convenient way for everyone in your organization to ideate, create, and plan together. Everyone with access to the notebook can edit Loop components and see the changes instantly. Learn more about this here.
Use Loop components in Word for the web
While working in a Word document, you can create a Loop component and then post a link to it into Teams or email where others’ edits immediately appear in your Word document. Everyone in your organization with whom you’ve shared the document will be able to edit it and see others’ changes instantly. See how here.
Insert a Loop component in a Whiteboard
When Loop components have been created in other Microsoft 365 applications, you can do live copy/paste of them onto a whiteboard and edit them in line. Changes will be saved across all instances in real-time. See how here.
Use a screen reader with Loop components in Microsoft Teams chats
Use Microsoft Teams with your keyboard and a screen reader to create and send a Loop component. We have tested it with Narrator and JAWS. It may work with other screen readers, too, as long as they follow common accessibility standards and techniques. See how here.
Use Loop components with a keyboard in Outlook
Use the new Outlook with your keyboard to create and send a Loop component. You can co-edit the component with other team members, share it in another email or Microsoft Teams chat, and review and edit the file at Office.com. See how here.
