      @@jbwise2002 You seem to have it reversed. Loop components are available in Whiteboard, but Whiteboard does not have components for Loop. Loop Workspaces can be organized into subsections much like OneNote, Whiteboard lacks this functionality (from O365 support). So, appears Loop can’t support free hand or Visio-like diagrams that are hierarchically organized without storing content in different apps. Hopefully this changes soon.

      You're correct. There's still no inking in Loop oddly. Loop has it's positives, but it still has long way to go before people can comfortably switch from OneNote. But it seems like they're promoting Loop as more of a collaboration platform more than a Notion competitor. So if that's the case, hopefully they can revamp OneNote to be a true offline and online Notion competitor.

    Great video to illustrate the use of Loop. I am OneNote user since last 10 years and I am at opinion that Loop can not replace OneNote for me yet. Reasons
    - OneNote has Notebooks, sections & page structure which is perfect for my use as we have programs of projects & sub sites. So we can create a Notebook for each Program, Section for each projects & pages for each site. I cant see this functionality in Loop
    - Onenote has tagging feature. I have created a master template for each of my sites where i fill specific information's relevant to each sites. I also have tagged all information sub sections. So by find tags functionality I can narrow down to particular objects across each sites
    - Lasso select or drawing functionality
    - History / page versions
    - New window / New docked windows - As i can be working across multiple projects simultaneously, i tend to open more than one window of OneNote in multiple screens. This also allows me to compare anything
    - Screenshots or copy of articles with source
    and many more.
    Loop has some impressive features, but it does not excite me to switch yet.......

  • @DrakeStardragon
    @DrakeStardragon 3 місяці тому +11

    There are things I have in some of my OneNote notebooks that I will never need to share so, for those, Loop is pointless. So, Loop will never replace OneNote for those types on notes. Loop is great for a collaborative environment, tho. Plus, a feature I like in OneNote, that Loop does not seem to have, is when you paste something from the web into OneNote it saves the original URL from where you copied it from.

    For my uses, I'm really liking Loop from a visual standpoint. Feels like where OneNote should have been a few years ago. I love the meeting agenda features as well. I will be copying over some of my OneNote items to try Loop out for a while. Thanks for putting this on my radar!

  • @olivierlu2792
    @olivierlu2792 2 місяці тому +4

    The best thing in OneNote for me is that the page is unlimited in width: I can compare different versions of text or images by juxtaposing them side by side without any constraint, or create a table with 15 columns for example. Loop can't do them, it's simply an application that stacks pages of Word, it's probably useful for preparing meetings, writing reports, but not effective for self-learning

  • @tchrapko
    @tchrapko 3 місяці тому +13

    Thanks for getting this onto my radar. I've been a big promoter of OneNote in my organization and will need to consider how Loop might be used instead. However, I find that where the rubber really meets the road in OneNote is in using tags (especially custom tags) along with the 'Find Tags' feature. Tagging notes in whatever section, page, or notebook where you happen to be, and then using the tag finder during a meeting to jump to each "Discuss with person X" tag is really powerful. Similarly, I've used tags and keyboard shortcuts to quickly mark notes when I need to 1) make a change in the test system, 2) make that change in production, and 3) document the change.
    If Loop gets tagging feature that works similarly then I can go all in.

    I have used OneNote since it came out, yes I have about 20 years of notes in it. While Loop *can* do many of the same features, it seems far too early to say that it's multi platform, and that the consumer has total control over the content. As I see it, Loop belongs entirely to the organization and while OneNote can too, I still have my personal notebooks that no one but me (and my microsoft login) control. Perhaps they will simply add loop components into One Note in the future. But the problematic thing is that MSFT runs all these little projects as standalone projects. I doubt the Loop team has any OneNote members, and I would be somewhat surprised if they even communicate between the teams and their goals. Lastly, a change in mgmt direction could end OneNote at any time, in favor of Loop, and move the entire team into the Loop team. Would not surprise me at all, but it would be a sad day.

      I agree about the many Microsoft products, and how it’s unclear if the different teams coordinate with each other. It’s like the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing.
      My brain gets saturated with the different tooling available for a particular use case. For example, tasks. What is the source of truth? Is it my own task list in Outlook? Is it planner? Is it a loop component? How about a SharePoint document library having certain status metadata? In theory, it shouldn’t matter because this wonderful tooling should just consolidate everything into one place, but it rarely works out that way.
      Instead of interjecting yet another tool, I wish they would retire existing tools or consolidate existing tools into a new one.
      I think the reason Microsoft doesn’t do this is because they they have so much legacy baggage to drag around and they don’t want to pull the rug out from existing clients using older tools.

    • @AlBergstein
      @AlBergstein 3 місяці тому

      @@martymcdonald3316 I agree, but would add that with the various re-orgs every year, that the team that did something a year ago may be reformed into a different group and they just abandon the old product, letting it age out. Like Office 365 groups, it's a legacy thing that they assume a lot of big clients are using and they can't just kill it, so they bring out, say, 10 different calendars to suit any need. Need a calendar in SharePoint? You got a couple to choose from depending on your need. What about Teams? Oh, there's a couple of different ones there too! it is very frustrating. As a consultant I have to walk a thin line between great new functionality and simply confusing my overworked clients. You can see why people like Slack for instance. Simple wins every time. The bottom line? Loop is a very 1.0 product. Time will tell how useful it is beyond doing agenda's in Teams meetings.

    They seem quite different, yet both able to provide solutions to similar use cases. Can you draw and sketch into Loop? Can you layout workspaces anyway you like or just vertically?

    Yea, it appears you can’t write anything on it - Handwriting or drawing.
    Also, onenote has a “containers” type of approach, I can the text boxes, videos, task list, etc all around the screen to reorganize it. It’s great for project ideas before you are ready to finalize it.
    Apparently Loop doesn’t do it…I guess it matters what you use onenote for.

    I was trying to figure out how to create a wiki experience which is going to have a lot of Jupiter looking content in it, but I'm not only trying to reach a developer audience and the developers have the belief that Git is going to solve all the thing for everyone, skipping the business people altogether. Adding to that, nobody actually reads the knowledge base articles until there is a major incident. Loop looks like the place at the moment. It'll be cool when there's a bit of AI assist for converting legacy content, though the filter of having to transcribe things to a new platform every few years is still a constructive activity.

    Major issues of OneNote for me have been the lack of performance on Android, at least for medium level phones, needing more options and a second app to have notes that I take on mobile.
    In Samsung case, a half baked solution is the default notes app, that sync to outlook, bit the sync is too often broke and hence paused. At the apple ecosystem, the notes app sync with exchange, so the notes appears as the sticky windows notes, which can be accessed in OneNote. Both are half backed solutions, since you can't see all onenote's content. The onenote app in mobile is very interesting in terms of features, but again, is very slow on mid level phones.

    Sorry to say, but you are missing many advanced features of ON that does not exist in Loop. First of all ON compared to Loop is free form noteing - it allows to write/draw/note in any place. In loop you nedd to follow the structure.
    Next - you can sync task to To Do from ON. And you can colaborate in ON as in Loop.

      Still think Obsidian is structurally better, but unfortunately i'm not able to make use of that.
      This being said. Loop is at the basis of meeting 'Notes' and this is just amazingly useful. Only downside: you can't start taking notes in there if you didn't create the meeting. If a client sends an invite you are blocked. This is stupid and knowing MS it might take a big time before they fix that.

    I am a loop fan but it has some major draw backs.
    1. No good way to share a page or loop so that it is not a link - for example no export page to image or PDF.
    2. Compared to one note, no support for drawings/stylus natively.
    3. While the structure in a loop is one of its strengths, its also a weakness compared to one note where you can have noted and stuff all over the place and next to each other and other things.
    I do use it a daily basis so I am not bashing on it, but when people say they are thinking about it, I make sure to mention my #1 item.
    We don't want to share a loop with a client, it needs to be a "document"(PDF, png, etc) we can send via email and that can be archived. When you send a loop you are sort of sending a window into the loop, the actual .loop file lives somewhere on onedrive/teams.
    I do hear the sentiment that MS has too many apps that do the same thing. As a relatively new MS O365 User, I am lucky I have not had to deal with older apps, but my current choice on loops is it lets meet keep all my info in one place, instead of individual excel or word files. Keeping one very long word file or a lot of tabs in an excel file is not something I would try. Because of loops inability to export, I still need to use word as an intermediary and when I do that I delete the loop so I do not end up 2 copies. The less places and copies of a document the better. If loop was able to host files in sort of "folders" , I would be so happy, I would move all my local files into loop

    Ty for this video mate. Really good comparison.
    Suggestion: OH GAWD PLEASE USE DARK MODE!
    I put UA-cam in dark mode, but, your full-screen white is an arc-welder to my eyes, watching this in low light. Really hard to keep watching.
    White-screen videos really make people click away when they're in bed/on airplanes, whatever, and they get blinded.
    (Plus you get weirdos like me who get migraine headaches after 1 minute of white screens on OLEDs who just, cannot, because of pain, watch a white-screen video.) thanks for your consideration!

    I've been trying to get onboard with OneNote for years but every time I use it once, I forget to go back in and use it again. Loop is much better because I can update things wherever they are ie: in teams, SharePoint pages, Word and Excel Docs and emails. The loop application itself is just a handy way of pulling it all together. "Goodbye OneNote, you seemed like you could be good but I won't miss you".

    It feels like another version of Microsoft Teams, just a different look and feel and no chat feature. But the Loop site is a lot like a Teams site. Very interesting... Also wondering if Copilot integration is available so that as you are on that teams meeting, it can be prepping your notes and action items that would then feed back into the Loop note. Hmmmm

    "Loop hasn't been advertised as a notetaking application", mmhmm. I thought Loop was supposed to dynamically update content based on external blobs? Like a hook into the external blob checking for content changes?? If all Loop can do is integrate with MS apps for live updates with collaborators, I don't find that a reason to jump ship. I do agree that OneNote is aging. It's old file backend sitting on OneDrive that needs occasional compression is an example. But its OCR and stylus capabilities are hard to beat. OneNote is in the league of EverNote and Keep.

    We'd like to switch from OneNote to loop in our company, but we can't at the moment because it's impossible to create a workspace and share it automatically with a Microsoft group. Currently, the workspace creator has to share it individually with each employee. It's too tedious, and what happens if that person leaves the company? The day we can link a workspace with a Microsoft group, we'll be able to switch.

      There are other loop videos around where the security of Microsoft loop is discussed. Right now, you need to be careful, because from what I have seen, giving access to a Loop workspace gives those attending access to its contents. So you might add someone outside of your specific team to a Workspace created for your team, and they would be able to view the content i.e. Currently the permissions model for Loop sems to be different. It seems to be similar to generating a link for a document with the "anyone with the link can edit" permissions

    Why wouldnt you work together in OneNote?
    The Struktur of OneNote is great, and Loop seems like it's on the personal OneDrive, so you dont want to use it as collab because if a person leavs the company with the account all the loop components are gone... the mixture between the two would be great, embedding loop into OneNote! You got structure and capabilities of OneNote (eg inking) plus the amazing sharing capabilities of loop. I heard embedding loop into OneNote is going to come soon.
