Documents have always been more than just a means of recording information—they have been a way for us to connect and collaborate, sharing our thoughts, insights, and aspirations with others so that we may achieve more by building off each other rather than working alone.

But the way we work together has gone through significant changes over time. Now, in our current landscape, we encounter more ambiguity and uncertainty than ever, requiring us to co-create in fast-paced and dynamic environments. We need tools that embrace the messiness of our creative process and can adapt to our ever-evolving needs.

That’s why we developed Microsoft Loop. At its core, Microsoft Loop is about people—people who want to create together with ease, no matter where they are or what tools they use. It’s a transformative co-creation experience that brings together teams, content, and tasks across your tools and devices. We’ve previously shared the three key parts of Microsoft Loop: components, workspaces, and pages. The new Loop app is where you can access all of these.

Now that you’re acquainted with Microsoft Loop, read on to learn more about the exciting new capabilities you can leverage in Microsoft Loop to think, plan, and create together like never before.

Loop is the Microsoft-alt to Notion and Obsidian.

Loop is the end result of years of work from Microsoft to create a new kind of Office document. Known previously as Fluid, Microsoft’s core idea is to transform the tables, graphs, and lists that you typically find in Office documents into living, collaborative blocks of content that exist anywhere.

Microsoft is also privately testing its new Microsoft 365 Copilot system inside Loop. You’ll be able to use AI-powered suggestions to create a brainstorm or blueprint, with Microsoft adapting its Copilot to support a multiplayer mode where you and your co-workers can all ask the AI chatbot questions and manipulate the responses. The neat thing is that the responses are a live canvas, so you can start editing them freely and then share them in Outlook and Teams.
