Microsoft Loop vs OneNote

Microsoft Loop is now available to all with a Microsoft 365 subscription (Business standard, business premium, E3 and E5). Loop components are items that can exist in many apps and be edited in many such as tables, checklists, paragraphs and more.

Here I compare the Loop App (which is separate to Loop components) to OneNote as they have many similarities. The UI, how to add objects, flexibility, search, collaboration and more. In my opinion, Loop components are amazing (even if a bit undercooked for now, but the Loop App has a long way to go before replacing OneNote.

Note at the time of making this video, Loop Components are only on OneNote Desktop for the Beta channel, but are accessible to all users on OneNote Online. Loop Components should roll out to all OneNote Desktop users soon.
