What the notice says
Microsoft’s text, safely structuredUpdated January 24, 2025: We have updated the content. Thank you for your patience.
The Loop app now provides a personal workspace to all users, which is shared with Copilot Pages. This personal workspace is a user-owned SharePoint Embedded container, one per user. Governance, lifecycle management and compliance processes are similar to that user's OneDrive. The existing Ideas workspace will begin functioning as a shared Loop workspace because it is not a user-owned container.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 422727 and 422729.
When this will happen
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-February 2025 (previously mid-January) and expect to complete by late March 2025 (previously late February).
How this will affect your organization
Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 422727: The personal workspace is a user-owned SharePoint Embedded container and follows similar governance, lifecycle management and compliance processes to the user's OneDrive, details about departure and storage can be found here.
Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 422729: The existing Ideas workspace, while positioned in the product as a personal workspace, uses the shared Loop workspace infrastructure and is not managed with the user account. As a result, with the arrival of the truly personal workspace, the existing Ideas workspace will begin functioning as a shared Loop workspace in the user's experience.
What you need to do to prepare
There is nothing you need to do to prepare. These changes will roll to your tenant automatically.
If you wish to disable the creation of Loop workspaces, you can configure it using the admin policies found here and here.
