Hi johnjohn-Peter ,
You're correct. Microsoft Loop is not the same tool as SharePoint Online. Their purposes differ in a lot of ways. I would compare Loop more to OneNote than to SharePoint Online.
- SharePoint Online is a content management platform designed for document and page collaboration
- Think of it as a "digital library"
- Loop offers collaborative workspaces, standalone or integrated with other M365 apps
- Think of it as a "digital whiteboard"
- Microsoft Loop
In my experience, Loop is highly valuable during Teams meetings where colleagues collaborate together. It's great for capturing thoughts and sharing with teammates. Equally powerful when you're working alone.
Loop doesn't yet have any options for uploading documents directly to a workspace, either. That limitation alone presents a challenge, compared to SharePoint Online's capabilities.
It might be good to try both approaches side by side as you try to make improvements to your process.
I hope this helps!
