Microsoft Loop on the web is a wiki-like tool to help you organize your work. Microsoft Loop consists of:
- Workspaces – a central hub to see all your work on a specific topic in one place. You can create spaces for your personal or collaborative work.
- Pages – You can create pages from scratch or from a template. There are many features available to help you format your pages creatively.
- Components – you can add shareable components such as lists, tasks, tables, KanBan Boards, and more.
You start off by creating workspaces for your various needs (personal or shared). The following are a few ways you might use workspaces:
- Team intranet – a central hub for collaboration, content organization, and document creation,
- Brainstorming – a place to store your personal or team brainstorming ideas.
- Project Management: use task lists to keep track of your tasks and projects. Task lists can be turned into a Loop component so they can be shared in other apps in Microsoft 365.
- Onboarding – a workspace where new employees can learn about your organization. You could include things like an organizational chart, an employee handbook, a checklist of tasks they need to complete, etc.
The easy formatting of pages in workspaces make it an ideal tool to keep you organized. Pages can include:
Table of contents- Headings
- Bullet points or numbered lists
- Tables
- Task Lists
- Images
- and more
You can add these components by typing the / key when you are on a a page.
