For folks who\u2019ve accessed the internet only through smartphones, Wave was <a href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/news\/google-says-goodbye-to-google-wave\">a much-hyped Google project for collaboration<\/a> that died in a year.<\/p>\n<p>Loop \u2014 built on the Fluid framework \u2014 is a <span>series of content components that will be synced across its Office suite of productivity apps<\/span>. These components can be notes, tables, and lists that anyone can access across apps.<\/p>\n<p>You can watch Loop in action in the video below:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BkhaV46HM2E\" width=\"1000\" height=\"620\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The other parts of Loop are Pages (just like a document) and Workspaces (like a team project overview). When this product rolls out, they\u2019ll be built into Microsoft Office, but they would also work on other apps such as Outlook, Teams, OneNote, and Whiteboard. Plus, you can embed these pages and components into chats and emails.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft has pressed on the fact that no matter where you\u2019re using Loop, <span>you\u2019ll get the latest information as they\u2019re updated by users you collaborate with<\/span>. So you can think of it as a series of editable widgets.<\/p>\n<p>I like the idea of these collaborative components and projects, but can you calm down with the emoji, Microsoft? <span>In this enthusiastic demo GIF below, there are already too many of them used as reactions to individual ideas, and then there\u2019s this high-five thing that nobody asked for.
