Microsoft’s new collaboration tool, Loop Office

On November 2nd (local time), Microsoft announced a new Office app, Office Loop. It is a tool that allows you to easily sync and collaborate across multiple office apps such as Teams, Outlook, and OneNote.

The loop component is what Microsoft calls the smallest unit of productivity and is used for chatting, email, meetings, documents, etc. Add lists, tables, notes, tasks, and more to collaborate on. In 2019, Microsoft announced the Fluid Framework, which streamlines collaboration by componentizing parts of documents and embedding them into other documents, and this evolution will become loop components.

A loop page is a new type of document that can organize components, import files, links, and more. The Myjaklo Loop workspace is a shared workspace that unifies components and pages to view and group everything. Microsoft makes Workspaces easy for everyone to understand what they’re working on, respond to other people’s ideas, and see how they’re progressing toward shared goals.

Loop components are inserted and used in several apps, but in other apps, the edited content appears to be reflected in the loop workspace in real time. Related information can be found here.
