Microsoft Loop, made publicly available on November 15, 2023, now allows you to integrate Loop components in OneNote on Windows and the web app.

The collaboration platform had amixed set of reviews, but we expected itsintegration with other Microsoft apps, as was the case withLoops components on Microsoft Teams.

With Loop components finally integrated into OneNote, real-time collaboration is expected to become all the more seamless. Though you may expect some issues in the early days.

How will the Loop component’s integration with OneNote work?

How will the Loop component’s integration with OneNote work?

Loop components, as we know from theMicrosoft Loops starter guide, are pieces of content that can be edited and shared amongst peers. And OneNote is an advanced note-taking app where all the information can be stored and presented in one place.

So, as you would expect, integrating the two will allow OneNote users to seamlessly add tables and tasks to their notebook, and any changes to them will reflect in real-time. Besides, this eliminates the need to switch between different apps.

To add a new Loop component in OneNote, move the cursor to the position where you want to add the component > click theInsertmenu > selectLoop Components> then choose the component you want to add.

To add an existing Loop component, you can directly paste the link. While doing so, make sure that you are adding the component’s link and note the page link.

The improvements to OneNote will make collaborations much simpler, and all it requires is a decent Internet connection and a Microsoft 365 subscription.

While you can start integrating Loop components to OneNote on the web app right away, the feature is underBetatesting in the Windows app and requiresversion 2401or later.

However, as we said earlier, there are some known issues. After integrating a Loop component, you may get a lag when scrolling or changing the zoom levels. But Microsoft is working to fix such problems, and they should be eliminated soon.

We expect Loop and its components to be integrated into more Microsoft apps in the coming days. Also,CoPilot in Microsoft Loopwas surely a great step!
