Confusing and a shameless Notion clone, Microsoft’s new Loop could change the way we use our computers.
Keep your project organized with Microsoft Loop
Loop—and Notion—do away with the concept of individual documents in favor of a “flexible canvas.” If you want to create a table to calculate the cost of your vacation or a sales project, you don’t have to fire up Excel. Instead, you drop a portable “component” directly onto your canvas. These components, like informational Legos, stay in sync and can be reused in different contexts. And of course, you can share everything.
“Hybrid work tools like this need to become more mainstream in workplaces, especially with the continuation and increase of flexible and remote working in the future,” Bryan Philips, chief marketing officer at an agency that uses Notion, told Lifewire via email. “I believe Loop will make a big impact in this space.”
For a company that built itself on the Office document suite, this is quite an anomaly. But collaborative spaces are hot right now, and they’re the future of computer work.
