Microsoft Loop is a hot topic in the team productivity space for managing your collaboration across the Microsoft ecosystem, but is it still challenging the likes of Notion?
Before we explore Microsoft's newest features, let's first explore the value of the Microsoft Loop experience from the core, including the likes of workspaces, co-pilot, pages, and Loop components, which are unique to the Microsoft Loop experience.
We recently explored this topic of the new features on our YouTube channel.
Loop introduced a new concept for many, but the platform has been expanding past the web experience to the Microsoft Store on Windows and, better, on mobile. What's new with the latest Microsoft Loop experience for features?
Saved drafts are new in Microsoft Loop. They allow you to save your un-posted comment drafts, even on pages that refresh. The draft is saved and is ready for you whenever.
Loop components can now be used inside Microsoft Teams in real time. These loop components come in the form of meeting notes to connect with team meetings. This continued investment into the existing Microsoft ecosystem will continue to get better.
This Microsoft Teams feature is ideal for building an agenda, co-editing notes, and sharing the next steps in a Loop component.
Microsoft Loop is now on the Microsoft Store for Windows devices. Perfect for downloading without the raw download and via an App Store.
Microsoft has added 10,000 more stock cover images for your Microsoft Loop workspace. You can now use them to spruce up each page.
Coming soon to Microsoft Loop is Microsoft Planner, which allows you to collaborate better on a project management app without leaving Loop as a Loop Component. This is perfectly explained below in this guide by Darrell from Remote Work Mentor.
Notion is a well established productivity tool as an all-in-one way to collaboration with millions of users worldwide, Microsoft Loop has a lot of catching up to do. But with the power of Microsoft behind it and special features like "Loop Components," it could well do.
Microsoft Loop is still in its early days. Each time Microsoft releases a new Microsoft ecosystem feature, it continues to get stronger, as Microsoft Loop thrives on connections to existing services and products in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
