Microsoft Loop - Getting Started

1. 00. Introduction: Hi and welcome to the course. Getting started with Microsoft loop might have is Caravaggio. On, in this course we're going to be exploring the unique features of Microsoft loop and how it can help you organize and collaborate on projects more efficiently. Microsoft loop is a powerful tool that helps you combine documents, spreadsheets and other files into a single workspace, which Microsoft loop. You can easily track the progress of your projects, share information, and communicate with your team members in real-time. Throughout this course, we'll cover all the essential topics related to Microsoft loop, such as how to sign up for loop account out to enable the loop up for Office 365 users. Understanding the loop interface, creating and managing loop workspaces. Creating loop pages will also be using page elements like lists, links, tables, images, and also adding video to our pages. We will then explore all the collaborative features in loop that enable you to do things like show your workspaces or share pages within a loop workspace. You can also tag team members within your loop, documents and components. After that, we'll then dive into advanced topics such as creating loop components, which can be shared across the loop. Documents on Office 365 apps will also learn how to use more complex components, such as the progress tracker, voting component and task list. By the end of this course, you will have a good understanding of Microsoft's loop and how to use it to streamline your work and achieve your project goals. Do know that this course has been constantly updated. So as more features coming to loop, I'm going to be making new videos and adding them to this course. So get ready to dive into the world of Microsoft loop and learn all it's exciting features. 2. 01. Getting a Loop Account: In this video, we're going to be looking at how to get a Microsoft account is actually a very easy process. You simply go to loop.microsoft.com and here you can sign in if you already have a Microsoft account, but you don't have one, you can just hit this Get Started button, the one at the top right, or these big purple one. Central idea. You can see it's free. So let's just hit the button. Ask you if you have a Microsoft account, you can go ahead, but if you don't have one, you can just simply create one. Here. This basically just guides you through the process of creating a new Microsoft account. I can type in a fictitious email you and say it just adds my company TO go next. Then you enter your password, just type something that is a bit difficult to guess for anyone. I just typed pass outward so it should be good enough. Yeah. Name my name you say, Kyle. You FK. The next, and speak around them contrary to value interested. Pick a random date of birth, say 1991. We told them that next. Okay. Yeah. I can go further. Yeah. Because I'm using a fictitious email, but yeah, that's basically how to set up a Microsoft account. Once you set up the account, you can use this account on loop or any of the Microsoft products. And once you're done, you can sign in. Once you sign in, you have something like this. You have this default workspace is sometimes comes with this default getting started workspace. But there was a time I tried to create another, another loop accounting income with this. So it depends if my communities default getting started workspace or not. This is what you see when you login. So that's how you get your loop account. Like I said, you go to loop.microsoft.com and it brings you to this page. Click on Getting Started. If you have a Microsoft account, you can sign in. Admittedly, if you don't have one, you can just create one right here. And that will automatically bring you to this page where you can see your loop workspaces, more on workspaces in the coming videos. 3. 02. Enabling Loop in Office 365: Now in this video we're going to be looking at how to enable Microsoft loop for Office 365 users. Now as an administrator of negative five, you want to make loop available to all the users in your Office 365 instance. This is not enabled by default, so you actually have to do some configuration actions in the admin of Office 365 to get this started. So the first thing you want to do is create a security group. We want to create a security group from The Office traces to five admin. So you go to admin. Admin, and I will post the admin portal. Now you're in the admin portal. You go to the side menu and you click on teams and groups. Teams and groups. Let me bump this clean up a little bit so you can see things more clearly. Okay? So you come to the side menu and go to teams and groups. I click on active teams and groups. Activity teams, I'm good. You can see I've created some groups here. Now you want to add a group. You click Add Group. Now when you're choosing your group type, be very, very cautious because when I first created this or when I first tried to implement this process was really frustrated. And I was because I chose this Microsoft three to five group because I saw that it was recommended. But what you actually needed a security group. So you go down and click security, then click Next. Then you can hide the name of your group, can see my loop, bodies. Look. Buddies, can add a description if you want, but if you don't, just click Next. And here you have your group. Can review it. You can click, click, Create Group to create a group. Now you have a group. That's fine, so we can close this. Now you would not see it here and you might be wondering why it's not here. Let me just call out. This might be wondering why he's not here. That's because you need to go into security to see the group. So you see my loop buddies. Now one thing you have to do in this group is that you have to click on it and come here and add group, a group owner or owners. You click on Add Owners, and it will display a list of your coworkers or people that are registered under this instance, then can click one of them like e.g. I'm just going to add myself. Yeah. I didn't add as an owner of the group. Then once you're done, you can just close out of this click once again. I think there was a back button there, but probably I didn't see it. Then. Now you can go to members, members of the group. So you have a group owner, now you have to add a member. So another does the controllers of the group, but you have to add members and decide to put our actually be able to use loop. So you can actually add a whole group as a member, but I'm just going to add myself again as a member. And click Add. Now if you have like four or five people that what you want to use loop this way you add them, e.g. like I said, this is how you enable loop for your office, Tennessee's Drive users. I've made it in a way so that you can control access to loop e.g. if you are just testing it within your organization or you don't know whether you guys want to do that yet. So, yeah, so we have this y, remember, and we can now close out of this. Now the next thing we are going to do is to add a policy for loop, a policy that will apply to this loop bodies. And this policy is going to be the one that will actually make loop available to these people in office density five. Now to do that, you go to config.office.com. Config.office.com. You might be prompted to sign him, so you want to just hit sign-in? Sign in. I think you're just going to get my session my currently logged in session, so that should be good. Okay, So we have a sign in. Now you can start creating the policy here from the homepage, but you can also get there through these customization and policy management menu. And we bump this up also so that we can see things clearly, that's much better. So to create a policy, just go to the Microsoft Office traces for cloud policy. Now notice that this is the Microsoft Power Apps admin center is different from this, which is the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. Microsoft's is to have a lot of admin centers and it can get confusing sometimes. So you want to click this? Yeah, so policy configurations, I already have a policy yet, but you have to create a new one. So to create a group together, to create the policy would just say my buddies policy. Next. We are a group. Here. We can select a group, so we can select any of these groups, my loop bodies. So we want to go with my loop body. So just say my, my loop bodies, so does the group, my loop body. So we click, select my loop bodies and the save that. Once we have that saved, then we can click Next. And now we go to configure settings. Now you need to actually enabled through a loop settings here, but it seems to be a lot of settings here. So I'm just going to search. So I'm going to go to the search bar and say loop, such loop. And we should have three policies. Now seen a total of three, but it's not displaying the policies for some reason. Let's clear the filter, okay? Okay, Yeah, now we have them. So they look, policies, create and view loop files and Microsoft app, that's about loop that do the apps like Microsoft Word or PowerPoint. Just all blue because you all of his students is Dr. experience. So I'm going to click on this and set it to enabled. Apply that. Then create and view loop files and loop this for loop app itself when you build out. And finally quit on View Live files and Outlook, which is kind of self-explanatory. So in Outlook, we apply that to enable that. And we click next. Here we can now review our policy. We can look at the configurations. We have three policies configured and yeah, everything looks good. So we can now create a policy. Good. It tells us that our bodies policy configuration is now created. I can eat down to just exit the page. This will bring you back to the policy configuration screen. And as you can see, my buddies policy is now created and it has a priority level of one, which I believe is lower than zero. So with this, you can now have lived experiences across distances to five. But I'll just yet because these policies can take up to 2.4 h to take effect. So anything from 90 min, 24 h, you might get lucky sometimes like e.g. when I did mine, when I did this loop policy, I think I refreshed after I tried it after 20 min on it was done. Some even say they got it after five-minutes. So it all depends on our office thicknesses to five or the mood of his office decreases fibers in, but not less than 24 h, you will be able to have access enabled for all your office tenses, try viewed as order for the office tenants, five users that are under the security group that is tied to the policy that you just created. 4. 03. The Anatomy of Loop: So in this video, we're going to be looking at the anatomy of the loop app. We're going to be doing a walk-through of the loop up to understand every element that we can find. Now like I said, this is the default page. It shows you your workspaces. So let's go into one of our workspaces. There's going to be just getting started workspace and we'll walk through. Now loop is basically made up of workspaces. Everything in loop is organized into workspaces. And within these workspaces you have pages. And pages are just this blank canvas that you can make into any type of documents you want to use in texts and loop components. So let's begin. Let's do a walk-through from right to left. This is my right, So we go from here to here, okay, so forth. Let's start with the account icon. So you have your account icon for now, you just can't change the sign out button so you don't sign out this way you go, you click your account icon or you can sign out. Then we have these ellipses here, you click it. The first thing here is the version history. Click version is true. You'll be able to see different versions of this document. So e.g. if you have made a mistake and you need to go back to a previous version, to a previous state where everything was all well and good. You can use this version history to just jump back to that. This is very helpful in recovering lost work. So this is how you get your version history. You go to the ellipses and you click on Version History. This is going to save you from a lot of mistakes. Screws out. Let's close that out. The next thing here is the Delete button, so you can use this to delete this entire, entire page. That's why it's in red because this is something you have to be very, very cautious of. I believe it warns you. Let me click it and say, Yeah, definitely. It wants you to confirm if you really want to delete this page. So just going to close out of that because we're still on this page. The next thing here is sentence. So we have settings for now is to quiet lane. We have the team which is set to a system. The system is currently set to light, a light team, so it's picking light by default. But if I change the system team too dark, it will select the dark by default. So this just select the default, the currently active team on the system by going to start with lighting, which is what we have now. And you can trust to go Doc, which is this very cool dark feel for those people that like dark mode, like me, I like dark mode, but everything starts from light. So yeah, let's just go with the default. So we have D will go with the system to stemmer delight him. So loop is speaking, liked. Then we have this experiments corner where we will be activating co-pilot later on. For now, co-pilot seems to be overloaded, so we cannot activate it for now. So just for you to know that is where you enable experimental features. Exclude that out. And next about, yeah, about loop diuretics is about liberating something about your session. Yeah, Did we get your session ID? You get your aversion. Probably. They would have an API later on so that this can become useful to developers. Probably. Then we have the Share button. You can share your workspace. You can share it with all the pages. You can share the link to this page. And you can also share this page as a loop competent to look components are very, very powerful parts of loop and we're going to be looking at that much later in this course. But you can from fat, this old document, this old page, to a loop component and be able to share it across Office to consist of five. We have this copy. You can copy it directly as a live component and share. Now we have this icon which shows the user that is on this, on this page, rather the user that is on this document. And this can show multiple users, if multiple users accessing the document at the same time, this is going to show the multiple users. So these were, you know, who is currently on the document. So e.g. if I have like two other teammates working on this document, are actually see the icon here. So that's pretty neat. Next is the breadcrumb. Of the breadcrumb that shows you where you are in the navigation. So you can click back, you can click forward. It shows you the page you are under, the track or the trace of the page that you're on so that you can identify where you're currently walking. So that's also putting it. Next, we have the collapsible menu can collapse to this icon, will collapse the side menu with this icon. Close, open, open, close. Next to that is a search tool. So this allows you to search all your pages in every workspace that is available. So you can, let's say we want to search the page. Next steps. Next steps. Yeah. So it is a QuickStart tool that you can use to set a page. Next we have the notifications bar. The notifications bar is for notifications about activities within your workspace. This is most likely going to be notifications about what other people are doing within your workspace because you know what you're doing so you don't need to get notifications about that. But if any other thing happens within your workspace that you most likely did not do or do not trigger. This is where you're going to get the notifications and you see it neatly organized to all and on red so you can check. All education or just jumped to the ones that you have not attended to. So doesn't it? Then we have the recent we have the recent page. This just shows you the most recent pages you've worked on. So if you just want to jump to the top thing you were working on before, now, you can just quickly jump here. This just shows you your history across all your pages. So this is something that can really come in handy. Then we have the ideas page, we'll just kind of interest and this is where you can have more like a section on his own, is a section on its own, because you can create pages within this section. But this kind of helps you to just get one. I've pages where you just constructed ideas outside of your usual workspace is sort of, say, a lot to cover and stuff. Yeah. You can have, you can just type in ideas here and share it with your coworkers. And it will go back to the ideas page. You can see that we have to pay that we just created. Yeah, just now just created it. And it's outside our regular workspaces. So that's pretty neat. Spreading it recent. Now, let's go to our workspace drop-down instead is go to workspace. Drop-down. You can click this and we can jump to our workspace. Let's go back to the getting started workspace. We're back to where we were before we went to the ideas panel. Like I said, loop is organized into workspaces. And within those workspaces you have piggies on piggies as well sub-pages. So these are all pages. Everything in at this level is a page. But if you can also have a sub page, as you can see here, this page or so pages. That's why it has this, this collapsible icon. You can expand and collapse it. So let's go back to welcome. Here we have the add page or link button. Here you can create a new page, can also link to an external page. You can link to a page on the web or I'm sure you can also link to a page within your office today 65, maybe like a ward or a PowerPoint presentation. But we'll be looking at that modulator. You've got to walk through an x. We have this drop-down, this, we are currently in the trivial, can look at it based on activity. Thinking. He's just kind of expands everything. But I prefer the tree one because it just makes more sense to me. It's easier for me to reason than the other one. So that's, that's about everything we've been able to walk through the entire workspace. And now I believe that you can know what every single icon or settings is meant for. Later on, we're going to be diving deep into all these elements. We're going to be creating workspaces. We're going to be creating pages. We're going to be bringing pages from his thesis to five. We're going to be doing all sorts of things with components and doing a lot of sharing actions with our coworkers within Office three to five. 5. 04. Creating your First Workspace: In this video, you're going to be learning how to create a new workspace. Let's first get back to our workspaces page so we can get to that by clicking the drop down beside your current workspace and go into browse all workspaces. So let's click browse our workspaces. So we're back here. Now we can create a new workspace. If you're new to loop, you would see a default workspace or you see a button to create a new workspace. So, but besides that, there's always this button Add New Workspace. So there's always this button for you to create a new workspace. I could just click that. So here we can create our new workspace. You can style it, e.g. this cava, this top cover, you can update it so we can find something that fits our vibe more. I'm really feeling this. So let's go with this, or this is also quite cool. So if I select this, yeah, You see, really, really cool. Sometimes you don't have a specific choice. You can just click this random button and it will just select one for you at random. Maybe you have difficulty picking one. Can just trust loop to get you on. This feels good. It looks like one I used before, so let's go randomly get yeah, let's go with something we river to be dull. But yeah, Jim, just going to go back to the guy. Yeah. So select that. And you can also select just so we have this we can also remove it altogether because I don't want to cover. So yeah, just get that out for me. But covers a cool. So I want that. I want one. So I'm going back to this and select that. Oh, yeah, you're typing a name for your workspace. So let's say Look, practice. Loop practice doesn't even for a workspace. And you can also add an optional icon. This icon sit around here is just, just nice to have. So I'm going to pick an icon. Yeah, I want an icon because I want so a cool dog. Yeah. From this section also called dog. Yeah, I'm gonna go with this guy. Yeah. This one I saw. I think it was disordered dog. Yeah. This so I'm going with this dog. Look, practice and yeah, you can create your workspace without you conclude your workspace. Here we are in a new workspace. We are prompted to create a new page, and I think it's already created, so you just, just add a title. So let's say my first page, your workspace, and you can start creating your pages and subpages. So that's everything to create a workspace is quite easy. Like I said, workspaces or are you organized your walk in loop? So if you're working on a project is better, you put it in one workspace. We're going to need different projects. You put it down on the workspace and you can just jump between workspaces using this workspace menu or browse all your workspace by going back here, you can see we have our loop practice workspace. 6. 05. Creeating Pages: In this video, we're going to be learning how to create Loop pages. Pages are the main elements and loop workspaces are simply organisational buckets for your pages. Pages are your actual loop document. So most likely you're going to see this default Untitled page when you have a new workspace. But you can create a new page by using this purple button with the plus icon. These are euclid, a top-level page in loop. So let's create one. Let's click new page, a new page. Give up and your title, let's say my first page. And as you can see, just as we did with workspaces, we can also add a cover to this page. The cover can choose any of these amazing art. Select, say that's our cover. To cover and use the random button to just select a random page cover in case you want to just help you with that. Let's see, we'll go with this. Let me go to the random again. Yeah, it gives me this. I'll just pick this. Does the same way we did it with workspaces. And you can also add a big icon to make things a little bit fancier. We can say, we're going to do this guy all locked up. Okay? Yeah, So this is how you create a new page in loop. You have your page title, the main sections of the page IOP title. We've already dealt to the EDA where we put the provider and the icon. Then now I'm trying to do that. So you have your p.sit title and you have your pig body. So you give your page title. And this big bodies where you do most of your work, well, basically all your work. You can also get a bit of a head start when creating a page by using what Luke calls page templates, e.g. I. Can create a new page. A new page. I will. I can just scroll down to these templates. Down here, we have the project brief, we have the team decision templates. We have the project planning templates on the meetings templates. There's also a button here to browse or the templates. There's so many templates here that you can pick from. And this gives you a head start on the type of document DB or creating a new document I similar to any of this template types, you can simply just click the templates, e.g. let's go with the meeting notes template as unwanted signals for emitted. Let's click the meeting those templates and say use this template. This will automatically give us a pig with the template. I was gonna see it already has a header. It has an icon that kind of describe what we're trying to do, which is take notes. Oh, meeting notes, does the Type Tool and you have a description for the templates will be most likely remove this. Then you can add the date here. And we have a couple of Edda, the topic of the meeting, the attendees, which isn't a nice table. You scroll down to meeting agenda, some notes, let's say some action points you want to put on action points here that changes direction points from binds and yeah, some tasks from the meeting or some relevant links. So this just gives us a head start when we're ready to create a new page. And what we want to do is already similar to one of the templates available in loop. So as you can see, we can update anything here. You can change the editor. You can change the icon, even though I feel that this icon is appropriate, what do you continue to anything you want? You can change the title of the page, which will most likely do probably add a date, let's say meeting match. Yeah. So you're going to change anything within your template and you can remove sexuality, can add sections, you can edit stuff, going move components, and just put some personal touch in the templates that loop provides you are out and about Loop pages is that you can come here on the side menu and click this ellipsis. You can click these ellipses are the right-hand side of the menu, of the page title on the menu. And you will see a bunch of options. Here you can create a new sub page, which we're gonna be doing soon. You can open a page, you can share the link. You can make the page look components and share it. You can rename the page on style. Let's try it out. You can rename your page and you can change the icon. And you can also add debate to a different workspace. Let's say we want to add this page to another workspace. Let's click that. We can search any of the workspace is yet and pick it. Let's say I want to add this to the getting started workspace. I can click Get started on this page will automatically be added to the getting started workspace. As you can see, the page is now in the getting started workspace is my first page, is actually a duplication because it will go back to our workspace loop practice was to have the page so it's not to be moving it from this workspace is just making a copy of it in the other workspace. And finally, we have the option to delete the page. You can delete it page if you no longer want this. Yeah, I'm sure to give you a prompt before you do that, but until you want to be sure you want to delete this page, but there you have it, you have a way to remove depend entirely from your workspace. Lastly, the side menu, the paid side menu here you can actually hold on. You can click down on a page and we hold at the page. You can move it around. As you can see. I can move this dot page to the second level. Yeah, I'd say I have this meeting taught much at the second level. I can move it up and make it a first page. And this menu. And I can do the same thing for all the pages. I can move this onto to pay down here. So you can reorder your pages in any order that makes sense to you by simply clicking down on them and dragging them to new positions. 7. 06. Creating Subpages: In this video, we're going to learn how to create sub pages. Now it's updated leaves underneath a page. Whenever the top-level page you can create a sub page within this page just to organize your content better. So let's go to sub page on that is my first failures. We'll click on the ellipsis and say new sub page and use it in sub-pages, basically a page itself, it just lives under a top-level page, so it has all the same elements as the page. You can use a template, it has a title, it doesn't body. You can add a cover just as we've been doing the cover. You can add an icon. Everything you can do with a regular page. You can do with a sub page. Very, very funny title. So yeah, if somebody is basically another page, it just lives on the main page. You also have the same page icon page options, whether that's a top-level page as I'm calling this top-level paid because as you can see, it expand and it expands and collapses to review the sub pages. So any page that is our desktop level, is it top-level page and it can house or the sub pages. So as eyes that is so pages just like any other page, continually same options that the regular page would have. Now you can also nest is sub page dean on a desktop date, e.g. as you can see, I just created another sub page within this sub page and I can give it another try to and say second level page. And the funny thing is I can keep doing that. I can keep creating deeper levels and keeping nest in this sub pages. Now you want to be careful with this definitely you want to arrange it in a way that makes sense. But loop gives you this ability just to make sure that you can organize your documents better. You can create some sort of hierarchy level for your document. Just like any other sub page, every single page you create is simply like any other page. And as the same options as irregular page. Let's delete this as the subpages. Let's get them out of the way so that things can look less confusing. So yeah, we have top-level page and we have our sub page. Now one thing you can do is so pages that you can hold them, you can click down on them and drag them into another page. Shows this border around it, top-level page. When you see this border around the top-level page, that means you can drop this up page into the top-level page. As you can see, this moves for my first page to meet him, to add much. And if you feel at this top page has grown enough to become its own page, you can hold on to it also. We can cut down on it and just drag it out. You can drag it out. I want to see any of these bars. You can just drop it and it becomes its own main page. You can start creating subpages within that sub page. Hey, I am the new sub page. So the main gist here is subpages leave on the top-level pages, but they are just like any other page, consists of the same characteristics as normal pages is just for your organization or benefits. So you're free to use. So pages in any way that makes sense to you. 8. 07. Working with Text: So in this video we're gonna be working with text by taking a few notes. Loop contains all the basic elements that you need to walk with texts, e.g. let's say we want to talk about these costs. So the title of this course is getting started. Let's say the title of this course is getting started with loop. We can do for slash, angled and H1 heading and say Getting Started, which loop? So yeah, we have that. Then under these videos I do small description and use basic texts for doubt. You say, this course teaches you to walk with Microsoft loop. We have our first chapter are first chapter, which is the workspaces chapter. So I can say for that, let's use an H2. H2, H2. And we say workspaces. We have another adult level to walk with. This is at a level one. This is at a level two. Workspaces we see here. You will learn all about workspaces. Then our next would be a good editor level to also, and that will be pages. What can we pages? And we say here, you will learn how to create pages and pages so you get the gist. We have our editors and we have our text, and you can highlight your text. You can, I liked your texts and do some basic text operations, e.g. you can make this text bold. You can make it italic. You can underline it. Yep. Looks nice. You can move on to land and less trie structure, structural construction of the text. You can smooth that. You can change it to an H1 if you want. That's a bad idea, but you can do it. You can. Then you can increase the indent. You can decrease the indent and can also do what? A cool stuff like changing the color. Lets it won't change the color of this to, let's say, let's go with green. So that looks clean. Probably that makes sense in some way for the document to change it to green. Then you can also go back to text color and do something cool with the background. Let's give it a blue-green light blue background. They are definitely need I were to make sense. So let's try another interesting background. Let's say if I needed to see the green texts so I don't know what's up with that text color engineered to green again. Okay. It's like you can't do both. So if you have a background, you can change the text color. Let's validate that by changing the background to orange. Okay, yeah, that answers that. You got out of the background or you have a text color because bolt. And to make your documents more fun, you can add an emoji. Let's say we want to add an emoji to, let's say each chapter, let me see if this works with Muji. Yeah, and would you be interested? He walks in and edit. So that's pretty cool. Let's get an image for that. So for workspaces, let's say we have something like, I don't know, I'm just going to pick something random that fuel makes sense. Yeah. Workspaces as this blueberry and pages. Emoji, emoji. So to get emoji picker, you can use the search email. So you get that. And let's say four. We pick the other one. No pizza seems to be more here. So let's go for this, our C thing. So, yeah, let's, let's probe with a cool volcano. Yeah, let's go with a cool volcano. So we have workspaces, we have blueberries and we have pages, and we have it as a volcano. So these are some of the basic things you can do with your text in loop. 9. 08. Lists and Links: In this video, we're going to be working with lists and links. Sometimes you want to add a list of items to your document and glue provides a way for you to do that. So let's say we want to add some, let's say video titles under these workspaces chapter, we can simply do the forward slash and scroll down to any of the available list options. E.g. we have checklist, we have a bullet list, and we have numbered list. So let's start with bullet list. Let's start with the simplest which is a bullet list and say list. The first video wants to work with this is our two. Create a workspace. We want another video that says how to style a loop workspace. Next video, how to delete a loop workspace. Okay, So we have a list that is as simple as that. You have, at least you have a bullet list. And like I said, you can also have other list options. You can convert this to another type of list, e.g. okay. I don't think the option oh yeah, yeah, the option should be there. So if I expand this option in this context menu with the ellipses and I go to Add-ins and lists. You can actually change this from a bullet list, two unnumbered list, numbered list. And if you want to use it as some sort of task tracking elements, you can go back to headings and lists and make it a checklist so that as you get tasks done, you can check them off. As you can see, Luke gives you this nice strikethrough to show that, yeah, you're done with that. That's how you create a list. There's also another fancier lists. Let's do the false lash unless search with list, a task list which is some sort of templated list and is a loop component. We are going to be learning more about communists later. We're working with this task list much later. So you can just keep that in mind that this is another type of lists that you can create in loop. So let's get her out. So we have been able to create a list from scratch. You can also turn a list of text or just a bunch of texts to a list. Let's say we come down here, we'll just copy this and we duplicate it on three lines. We can highlight this multi pool lines and go to Edison lists and say we want to make this a bullet list because he converts dark text on different lines to a list. And as we did before, we can change the type of lists want from a bullet list to a numbered list or to a checklist alkylate data. So now two links are to create a link. You often would want to link to an external page. Most likely an external page or an XML file. Loop gives you a very, very smooth way to do that. So let's say we want to just highlight this workspaces. Workspaces. And you can right-click. It already gives us this which you can expand where it doesn't show up. You can just right-click and you give you the aspired version and you scroll down, you will see this link option to link option. You click that first you have the links display text, which is workspaces that we are highlighted. But you can change this if you want. I'm just going to leave it at that and just point to the official Microsoft pages, HTTPS, microsoft.com. Alison said that you can see, we now have this as a link. If you right click on the link, you see the normal texts options. But if you scroll down, you'll also see some options to do some stuff or perform some actions on your link, e.g. you're gonna digital ink that I did the link. You can copy the link. Maybe you want to copy it on a document, An open the link because for some reason you can just click this directly and to go to the page. So I do right-click and open link. And this will navigate, you should navigate you to the Microsoft website. Yeah, it is Microsoft official website and kind of had it this extra part to the URL. So I'm just going to copy the full ten now and see if I get something different. So now I can update my link to go to the exact location, to say I did link. I can just change this to that. And yeah, we're good. Some other things you can do is remove the link completely. And there's also some link options here. If you click on this link options are options. You click it, it gives you the ability to show or change the display format of your URL, of your link. You can make it a URL form, which is the default, which is what shows here. Or we can make it something cool like a link preview. Let's look at link preview. You can see this is loading and it's trying to give us a cool preview for the link. So let's see what it does it act and bam, yeah, it gives us a nice Microsoft logo. I guess speaking from these Fab Icon gives us a nice Microsoft logo here. I'm sure there are some links that will have probably like a picture or something, but yeah, this is how you can change the display format of your link. As you can see now, when we right-click, we only see openly and can copy link and the link options. Now we can actually click the link also directly, unlike the previous display format that we could unclick and we have to use the open link option when I can click the link directly and it will go to the specified location. If we change this back to URL, URL, and you right-click on it once again, you see you go back to the default set of options that you have. So this just shows you some of the things you have to know about the links and how to work with them in loop. 10. 09. Using Images: In this video, we're going to be adding an image to our document. So images are one of the things that you can bring into a loop document. And let's see how we can add one of those. So I'm just going to come to the end of this statement and just hit Enter to go down. Then to add an image, you do your four slash. Search for image images under the media section. So let's say let me clear this where Claudius and do forward slash. Scroll down. And under the media section you will see image. So click that and it automatically opens the file explorer. So I can pick an image and we're going to pick this image. Gigs. Yeah. Some cakes, my wife work done. So yeah, so we have this. As you can see here, we can add some accessibility texts. Let me click out of that again. You can click this to add some accessibility texts. Let's say, let's call it yummy cakes. And you can check this box to define this image as decorative. This is so that people that are visually impaired when always your time, try to understand this image and just mark it as decorative. Yeah, this is just adding style to the document. It is not trying to pass any form of message or so, but this is actually something we want people to know about. So yeah, you'll make cakes, I'm just done. You can right-click. So you can call it, you can copy. You can go back to the alt-text and edited. You can also see the market decorative option here. Now, one thing you are definitely going to be interested in is resizing this image. And you can do that by going to any of the edges and dragging on the handles. So I'm just going to go to the top right edge and drag this down because I want this to be smaller and more visible. Yeah. Directors down. Yeah, good. So you can see we can see dogma better now and images more compact within the document. And if you're done with the image, you are no longer what the images in your document. You can click this icon here or beside the image can click this icon. And they consider delete button. You can delete the image using this button, that is liquid loop component will, like I said, we're going to be looking at glute components much later in this course. But if you don't read image, if you don't want the image any longer or you want to change it to a different image, can click Delete and that just deletes the afternoon. He just deleted. It didn't prompt me if I wanted to delete the image. So yeah, that's how to work with images you set for image, sorry, image for slash image, or just simply go to the media section. Then you pick an image and pick another cake. My wife is working on this smoked brown cake. You can add accessibility text. Smoked brown. Mark it as decorative so that people that are visually impaired and waste your time trying to think it's passing a message. You can use the edges, the edges to resize the image and maintain its scale. Yeah, I don't think you can go out of the skill you have to maintain the scale. So there's no way you can just independently pull the right side or at a pool it or stretch it horizontal or vertical, you have to maintain the aspect ratio. So these are two images. And if you don't need them anymore, you can always use the Delete button. 11. 10. Adding Videos: So in this video, we're going to be learning how to add a video to a loop document. Now, look doesn't at the moment come with a video component. If we do the forward slash and we go to the media section, you see we only have a component for an image, but are they able to get a YouTube video in air? And I'm going to be demonstrating how I was able to do that. It's quite very simply, it's quite a simple process. So I'm just going to go to YouTube and hit the share button. Then I'm just going to hit Copy on the URL, the video URL. Then go to loop and just paste it and paste it in. Then loop goes into work and converts it to, I think he's trying to do like a preview here. It was trying to do like a preview for the video. So you get this. And now if you click on this, it'll just take you to where the video is. Sometimes it will load the video player immediately. But Let's refresh this. See what we get. As you can see now that I refreshed it, it has brought up the YouTube player and I can just hit play and play the video directly from YouTube. So yeah, because how are they able to embed the video to do this is I was able to embed a YouTube video into loop. I don't know if these walks with other video players like Vimeo and the rest, but you can try that out. But at least it works with YouTube and unusual kind of accounts for a very large percentage of the videos that we access on the internet. So knowing that YouTube works is quite refreshing. I believe most likely later on loop is going to, let me just put it off. I believe that most likely later on loop is going to bring up their own video component and you'll be able to add any video or even upload a video from your system, does your local system. So that's how they would add a YouTube video. Youtube videos does work seamlessly. If you want it as a URL, you can come back here. You can click this, click this icon and go to Link Options and just do URL, and then just, just converts it back to a URL. I can switch back. I liked, and it's going down to link options and doing link preview. And then you get the playback. 12. 11. Bringing in Documents: In this video, we're going to be learning how to bring Office traces to five documents into loop. Now, do note that this feature is only available to loop accounts that are under an Office 365 account. It is an independent account that you just set up with your e-mail, then you won't be able to access documents from off his thesis to five because your loop account is not tied to any office to EC2 instance. So to begin, we type the outcome and the outcome and is for finding things and loop. You can find files, can find people, but now we're only interested in files. So I'm just going to reference this document, this Getting Started with loop document, you see is under the files section. So I'm just going to reference this Getting Started with loop file. Click it. And you can see loop loaded in which some summary of the document was created by me. The title is getting started with loop and is a Word document. So as you can see by default, this document appears as a link preview, but you can always click here and go to Link Options, change it to a URL. You can also just go back and change it back to the link preview, which I feel kind of looks nicer for every document. You also get this comment icon. You can click on that. This allows you to add comments. Let's say you have co-workers that you want them to leave some comments on this document or your coworkers just want to leave some thoughts on this document. You can click on this and say, Nice work. Nice work. Now this may just living comment, but this is most likely going to be done by a coworker. Someone else can say, hey, thanks for doing this. Thanks for doing this. Yeah. You can also just add reactions. You don't need to add words. I can just click and say, Yeah, I loved this document and someone can also come in and gives you give me a thumbs up. So this helps you to get feedback on your document and people can just comment on this and share their reactions in real-time. You can also always click this icon and use the Delete button to delete the document. But I'm not going to be doing direct now. But this is just to show you that if you don't want to document it anymore, you can hit Delete. Now, do note that once you delete the document, everything goes. That's all the commands and all the reactions. Everything goes with this particular document that you've referenced. Now you can also have a document here. You can have a document here as one of your pages. And the way to do that is to get the link to the document e.g. I. Can click on this and go to Copy link. Yeah, Because right-click on this and do copy link. And once I have that, I can make this document a top-level page here. And to do that, what I'm going to do is to click this button. Instead of going into new page, I'm going to say new link. I'm going to hit New link. And it's going to tell me to enter a name. So I'm just going to say getting started. And I'm going to paste my link into this address text box. So just Control V and then click Add C loop, just that, adding that to my document. And now you can see that the document is now its own top-level page. Now it's on top-level page, and when you click it, it will go to the office twisted five document. You can see this is my office to describe document and getting started with glue and a description which some Lorem Ipsum. And let's go back to loop. You can also create sub pages under this, just as you would do with any other regular page. So that's how you bring in documents into loop. You can bring what documents can bring PowerPoint document and you can bring Excel sheets. And as we have seen, you can also make one of the document a top-level page on your site menu. 13. 12. Editor Settings: In this video, we're going to be looking at an interesting set of preferences known as the editor settings. This can be found when you use the at symbol. Then you can scroll down this menu and you see this ellipsis at the bottom-left. Just click it. And there you can access the editor settings. So let's click that. Doesn't change controls are the Editor behaves, outer loop Editor behaves. And Aldi and all the features that you get. So you have things like texts, predictions, links are just Jones mentioned and the rest. These are all turned on and can be turned off. E.g. if I don't want this to reference messages, emails, and documents, I can just turn it off and nobody will be able to do that. So e.g. also disproven preferences. If we go down, we see the ones I've been turned on. Let's say we turn on the formality option. We see all the options that I've been checked under this formality option. And we can get more sun. We can say we don't allow him for my language and we don't allow slangs. And Microsoft is going to make sure that it is checking for all that. Now, if for some reason you have mid settings here that have become confusing, you can just go down. There's a reset to default button here, down at the bottom. You can use come down here and click Reset to default. So this would just be about every certain back e.g. look at it. Formality that we turned on is now turned off just as we saw it when we first access this configuration options. So yeah, these are the editor settings and this is where you can control things like your vocabulary, your tone, punctuations, inclusiveness, which is very, very important, conciseness, clarity and all sorts of behaviors you want your editor to exhibit. So that's your editor settings in loop. 14. 13. Working with Tables: So in this video we're going to be learning how to work with tables and loop. Now tables are very common elements in document and we're going to be looking at how we can bring tables into a look document. To bring table, then you do the forward slash. And you can find tables under the general section, just below the edits. I have table. And there you get a table and loop. Loop tables come with a default of two columns. And you can click into a column to change the name. Let's say we change this to name and we change this to a. So you can just click into a column to change the name for your color options. You click the down arrow next to the name of the column. You see we have a down arrow here and we also have one for this column. So you can click this. And here you can rename the column just as we just did. You can change the column type, e.g. this age, this is text. This age, I will prefer it to be a number. So I can click down and go to ten column type. And I can say change this to a number. Yeah, So it's now carrying the card datatype for what I want to use this column for which is type in ages. Then you can also insert, insert a column to your left or your right. I'll insert a row below. I'm just going to insert a column to my left. Yeah. And you can also click the down arrow to, let's say remove the column entirely. You can also do some sorting. As you can see, you can do sorting in ascending order or descending order. So let's just delete this column for now, so I still have the name and age columns. Another way you can add a new column is two over between the dividers between the columns. And you would see this plus icon. And we click the plus icon is just going to insert a column in-between the columns that d divides a stands. You can also over on the column dividers to resize the columns, e.g. let's resize this. Yeah, this looks nice. And you can also click on top of the column to highlight it and perform operations like sudden it, ascending or descending. And you can delete the column entirely. Yeah, can delete complimentarily. Let's resize this column. This column, and let's another column to the site. Yeah, you see I can also access the plus icon here, second column here, and let's just say date. Let's just call that date. Let's give it the datatype column type to date, so I can have a date picker here. Yeah. Isn't that cool? Yeah. Can I we did picker here. There are also some general table icons here at the top. As you can see, I can hide columns here. You can see the date column to id, the id column automatically. I can make that visible once again. And also I can do some ascending and descending. I can add salt to the table. I can say yeah, for the name, give me all the data for the age, give me the edges in descending order, Some stuff like that. So I can just make some general configurations to the table. And also you can click this icon if you want to delete a table or make it a loop component. We're going to be learning more about live component much later in this course. And as you can see down here, we have a new button. This is we're adding a new row. So we click this, you can just keep adding new rows to your table. So does look tables very slick, very convenient to work with. I think it kind of gives you this non-brain by default. I don't know if one can delete this column, but it just kind of gives you this serial numbering by default. So yeah, that's look tables. 15. 14. Sharing Pages: In this video, we're going to be learning how to share your loop pages. Collaboration is one of the biggest selling points of loop does while loop allows you to share everything from workspaces, two pages, 2 components. So let's begin to share a pigeon loop. The first thing to do is to go to this blue are at our disposal Share button at the top right. I can click down, as you can see, you can share workspace page link. For now, I just want to share a link to this page. So we click on that. And it brings up this page sharing dialog. Now as you can see here, we have the link to the page, the loop page, so we can copy this and we can send it in an email, we can share it with a coworker. But another interesting thing we can do is control out this page can be accessed. So like e.g. the name of my organization is deaf talk with f k because there's people in desktop with f k, with the link can edit. And I can click this and control Michigan options. I can say, Yeah, I'll share this link for it. For now. It is visible to people in depth with f k, where I can just say, yeah, just share this with anybody. I don't mind you can give this to anyone. We can also select people with existing access and share it with them alone who already have access to this document that you want to share it with us. I won't share with specific people where we can enter a group or an email and can also control if these people are sharing it with, can edit or just view the page, e.g. if I pick up with desktop with f k, I click here, you can see they can edit and you can view. If I share it with specific people, Then the only option I have is the edit option. So this way you can control how people access your pages and what they can do on the page after the accessor. Another way to look at this share options is to come to the side menu lets you want to share this page. Click on the Page options and go to Share page link, share pig link. You click on this shepherd link. We get the same Shogun dialogue with the ability to copy our link and also to control who has access and what they can do on the page. 16. 15. Sharing Workspaces: So in this video, we're going to be learning how to share loop workspaces. Like I said in the previous video, collaboration is one of the biggest selling points of loop. And just as we've learned how to share pages within a workspace, you can also share an entire workspace. Workspace, you go to the top right and click on this Share button. I click the drop-down and click on the workspace option. This, like it says, gives access to all pages within the workspace. Loop. Practice with office doing 65,000 name of this particular workspace. So clicking on this would allow access to any invited user to this entire workspace. Click on this. You can see I'm already a member. Then I can invite somebody from my office to resist to five instance. So I'm just going to type the name of one of my coworkers. Fair? So I'm going to take your finger and click. And this is the only other is I have on my instance right now, but you can invite as many people as possible as long as you keep searching them and clicking their names. And once I do that, I can see you can also use the name or the email. I used the name and it brought up the user's account. So once you have the members, are the users you want to invite, you simply click Invite. And loop goes into action and tells you that you have successfully added this people or this person as new members. And if you look down here, you see we now have, if I just joined us, is now part of this workspace. And it will automatically have access to this entire workspace with every single page within this workspace. 17. 16. Mentioning People: In this video, we're going to learn how to mention other coworkers or users within your loop document. Now you have the ability to tag people in loop. You can call the attention of other users or co-workers within your Office. Three striped instance within your loop documents, e.g. I. Have a PowerPoint document here. And I can simply go to the side and click on this Command button and say, Will. Will you check this out? Check this out. And I can mention my other co-workers and say, Yeah, if you check this out on, doesn't type be fair. It's good enough for effort and I'm going to pick his name. And it's automatically added here. And I can hit send. If it will automatically get a notification that will signal him to check out this document. And once it's done, you can also add its own comments and also mentioned me if it wants to call my attention to anything out a component that supports mentioned in people, it's tables. Tables actually have a person column type. So we clicked down. If you look at the column type for this person. And once you have a person column type, e.g. for this task table that has an assignee column, there's any column that has been given the type of person. You can assign these tasks to anyone. So I'm going to say this is for me, then I'm going to assign it. Fair to this, but it's an ad and say, Yeah, this is for if it's going to do the writing of the script. So yeah, tables are also one of the components that support you tagging order users within your office trends is Dr. instance. Another component, I suppose that is text. So with text, you can also have a comment box. In document box, you can click it and say, Check this out for spell, check this, check this. And you can also use your ad to find your other co-workers that I mentioned as many people as you want and you can eat sand and they get a notification that you've mentioned them to call your attention to something on this document. 18. 17. Creating a Loop Component: So in this video, we're going to be learning how to create a loop component. One of the biggest features in loop is the ability to take any parts of your document and convert it to a shareable live component called a loop component. I want this component is created once it's live component is created, you are able to reuse it across your document and even in other Office traces to web applications. So let's get started. So it's great to live component, let's say want to have this PowerPoint presentation on the texts on diet as a loop component, you simply just highlight everything. Once you have everything highlighted, you can then click the ellipsis icon beside it with a double ellipsis. And you will see this grid loop Component, button, Create Loop component. Now ensure that the border that this disk, which is covering every single item that you want to make a loop component. So assure that because sometimes it might just covered up the document and it won't cover up the or rather it won't include the text under it. So make sure that every single element you want within the loop component is included. Then create. Click on Create Loop component, click the Create Loop components button. And loop immediately goes to work. And you see this glowing border around your elements and everything has been converted to a loop component. Now once it is done, you see a loop logo here. So this tells you that this entire area is now a loop competent. This is now one single component. There are also some options here that we'll be looking at later on. And you can take this component, you can click on this component and move it around. Let's say I want to move this down, can just click here all down and move it on this table. I want and we don't know this table. I can just drop it on our list envelope. I'm going okay. This is going to be okay. Yeah. Under the table, he said I've been able to drag this entire component from OPIA on the table. This entire area now functions as a single piece called a loop component. In the coming video, we're going to see how we can share this out. It updates live all across your office decreases to five instance and loop. 19. 18. Sharing a Loop Component: So as I mentioned in the previous video where we created a loop component, look components are sharable live component. So it's not only that they are self-contained, they are also sharable. So it's cooling down to a competency. I don't want to put that in the previous video. If you over around the top right here on the border, you can see this sharing options. You can see the locations where you've shared it. You can copy the component and you can see Whoo As access. So Shelley's component, Let's click Copy Component. This brings up the share dialogue where we can get a link to the company so you can just copy this and they want to share the document if watershed the component rather anywhere, maybe in another loop document or another workspace or another office to swipe application. This is the link you need, so you just click Copy. And if you want to configure some sharing options, you can click this link and defined would share it with unwanted can do with it whether they can just view the component or a digital component. So for now I'm just going to leave it as default edit and give people that are in-depth talk with f k the access. So that should apply for my link once again. And now I can close out of this and I'm going to create another page. Just go to another page here. That's a new page. And on this page, I'm just going to dump my loop component. I'm just going to paste it here. So I'm going to say right-click, paste, paste in loop component. Okay, it seems like there's some keyboard. So I'm just going to just say Control or Command V. Now, you see it first appears as a normal link, but Luke recognizes, does it look component and it loads it up as a loop component. Now one beautiful thing here is I can make an edit here. Now detects is display the journey is a pitch for fundraising in public schools. Let's say I want to change this to private schools. Private schools, unless I also added comment somewhere here. Yeah, I say keep confidential. Feeding, show. That's going to save.com and submit on a deed of changes from public to private schools. And I've also added a comment. Now let's go back to the page where we could add this component and see what happens. Let's go back to this page. And it was called down to our component. As you can see, we now have the comment that was made on the PowerPoint presentation. And the school is now private schools. So this is a live document as long as you share it with people and you give them the ability to edit it. Any editing make is going to reflect. Here, is going to reflect everywhere the loop component is shared, which is just amazing, which is just awesome. This takes collaboration to a whole new level, which look, this collaboration can go as far as in emails, in Microsoft Teams, and in what documents. And as expected, across different loop instances and workspaces. 20. 19. Using the Voting Component: In this video, we're going to be learning how to use the voting component. Now the voting component is one of the more specialized components and loop. And this component is very useful for collecting the opinion of your users are co-workers in Office traces to five or close your loop instances. So the voting components can be found on that, the template section. If we do our forward slash and we scroll down, the template section contains the more advanced components that we are devoting table can be found. So if I click on voting table, like a converging table, and now I have my default voting table with two options. That is like the minimum amount of options you need for a poll. So let's say I want to make my co-workers or users vote on what we are going to be having for lunch. So let's say what, what is for lunch is for lunch. So let's say some people want french fries, chicken. And some people want to laugh, right? Yeah, good law phrase. And some people want, let's say Burger and milkshake. So bugger and milkshake. Yeah. So we have these three options. Now, you also have a pros and cons column where you can add notes. You know, like trying to make your case for each option or just trying to add some benefits of each option like, Oh yeah, Which? Chicken and French fries, you get a free Coke. Let's say you had a free Coke comes with this. And but once you have that, you probably wouldn't get the employee discount, let's say No employee discounts. No employee discount if you're going for the French fried chicken, but you get a free Coke. So this is just to give more context to the options. Now, these columns are not compulsory, so you can just get rid of them. You can just say, Yeah, I don't want, I don't need this, so I don't need to add pros and cons. I just want the options and the votes. So we have that. The table looks cleaner. And then people can come here and we can come and vote. And as you can see, each person's name is attached to their vote. Now I can convert this to a loop component. I convert this to a live component or share it in an e-mail, or share it in a shared workspace. And other users can vote the options and at the end of the day, can just collect this and be able to make a decision. Everybody's going to see the final results. So you're going to know which option we're going to be going for. So devoting component is one of the more advanced components and loop. And as you can see, it is a very useful component in collecting the opinion of your coworkers or your users within loop and other Office to assist five applications. 21. 20. The Progress Tracker Component: So in this video, we're going to be looking at the progress tracker component. Now this component is also one of the more advanced components in loop, and it's kind of like a mini projects trackers, so you can use it to track your tasks on the project, the due date, the assignees, and all that. So let us get started to begin to do a forward slash. And the components coming found under the template section, which is, this is the section that contains most of the more advanced components and loop. Let us pick that. As you can see, we get the default component, which is a table with a couple of columns. Now, this walking their column is where you type in your tasks. Let's say we want to write scripts. I said we have a video project I want to do is I want to write a script. I want to record the video. Can also use the new button to add moguls that we want to edit video. We have done. Then next we have the owner column, which is sort of like the assignee column. These are the people that are responsible for doing this task. So I can say, I am going to write a script. If you click into this type of columns, they have the column type of person, the other person. So you click into them, you'd get the people that you can assign this to, the people within your Office 365 instance or your loop users with whom we are sharing the same workspace. So e.g. I. Have myself and I have a fair who is also a user in my office tenants is five instance. So I can say, Yeah, I'm going to read the script and I'm going to cut the video because it's better with cameras and all this stuff. And I'm going to edit the video because I'm better than him in using DaVinci Resolve. So yeah, we have those without that filled in. The next column is the progress column is sort of like your status column. And it has the column type of label, column type of label. You can use this to add things like progress or priority labels, and you can add another label group, e.g. if you have a different type of libel categorization, something like types of, say, cities in the country. But for now we're just going to be sticking with the progress, which is the default that came with it. And here we have different options. We have not started in progress, we have completed and off track. So for writing the script is in progress. Regarding the video, definitely we've not started on it. There's no way we can start editing the video without recording the video. So just put that in. Now you also have the column for due dates. Yeah, we can select. You can say Yeah, we want this to be done by today, end of today. Then we want to record the video tomorrow, and then we want to edit the video a day after that I will attend so we make sure that the script is finished today. We recorded video the next day, and we start editing on Monday. Now we also have just called them where you can add blockers. If there's any block attorney of this task, you can add one for writing the script. We have no blocker for recording the video, definitely the script writing a blocker. Because it would always script, we can get started recording our video, editing the video. Let's see. Yeah, we are waiting on the video, so recording the video is a blocker. But maybe we are also waiting for our new Da Vinci Resolve to be fully installed. Want to make sure you're using the latest version. So want new Da Vinci Resolve to be installed before it's as low as does like a blocker to edit the video goes out your blockers. Now like just any type of table in loop, you can delete columns and add columns. E.g. I. Can come to the edge here, to the end here. Another column at the top here. Does it add? I can add any type of column I want. I can say, Okay, let me put something like dollar amount of days to complete this task. So they're going to see, put big number, say duration. Days to this one should be, let's say a day. This should be one day also, and editing should take like two to three days max. So let's just say three days. So his max, that is your progress tracker component. As you can see, it's a very useful tool when you need to. You need to track a mini-project like we're doing here. We're tracking the collision and publishing of a video. 22. 21. Using the Task List Component: In this video, we're going to be taking a look at the task list component that asterix competent helps you to track a simple lists of tasks. Tasks that you have to do within a day or two, complete a particular target. Now, if you've watched the video on the progress tracker, disastrous component is basically just a trimmed down version of the progress tracker component. Let's begin. So to start with the forward slash and we can find the task list component on the template section. So click task list. As you can see, here, we have a column for a task, the assignee on a due date. This is the default set of columns.com with the task list component. So let's say we want to edit, want to create a video and published on YouTube. You can say I want to write script, then we want to record video. After that, we want to edit the video and publish the video to YouTube. So all this is on the publishing, a YouTube video. Youtube video. And once we have our tasks, we can assign it to people within our office to private instance, let's say, Yeah, I'm going to write a script than if I was going to record because it's more good which gear and equipment then editing? I'm better than him. So I'm just going to be Card. And I'm also going to publish changes my YouTube channel. So yeah, these are all assigned and we can also add due dates. You can see there's a small count of how many tasks are assigned to which user down here we just put in it. Then we're going to start due dates and say, Yeah, we want to make sure that it's cooked, it's done today. We want to record tomorrow. I want to start editing on Sunday to Sunday, or Monday. On Monday. And we want to publish on, let's say I only did a mostly between Thursday and Friday. So we'll just say yeah. So as you can see, we're getting a note up here to sync these tasks with the tasks that every other person on this list, me as on the Microsoft Planner. And to do so, you can just go right ahead and do that. I'm just going to ignore it for now because I'm not or ADA does not just scope of this video. And as your tasks are done, you have this check box where you can just check them off. So let's erase could be done. Yeah, wherever the script now so we can go ahead and we call it the video. I was recording the video with tick that off to. And we can do the same for editing and publishing the video. So does the task list in a loop, you can use a task list to track tasks under a particular job, under a particular goal on a particular project. And when you get the task done, you can tick them off, touch due dates. And you can also assign them to people within your team. 23. 22. Loop Components in Microsoft Outlook: In this video, we're going to be looking at how to use loop component in Microsoft Outlook. As I've been saying throughout this course, collaboration is one of the biggest selling point of loop. And you can use loop component not only in loop documents, but also across applications that support them within the Microsoft today 65 suit. I want to read applications is Outlook. You can create new components in Outlook. You can share loop components in Outlook and send them to your co-workers on any of the day make to eat for those that have permissions to edit it, you will see the update live across everywhere that you have shared the loop component. So let's begin to create a new loop component. In Microsoft Outlook, we create a new email. Let's create a new email. It won't send a new e-mail to co-workers. And if you come down here where the send button is disabled or the send button, because see a loop logo here. It says insert loop component. We're going to be doing just that. So I'm going to click on that. And here I have a couple of Luke components. For now I'm going with the task list because I want to get my coworkers up to speed on a series of tasks and make them know who is assigned to what. I'm just going to click task list. And as you can see, microsoft goes to work and we are getting a loop component right inside Microsoft Outlook. So I'm just going to do the video. Wants to make a video, so yeah, video number 44. And first we need to write the script. We need to record the video. And we need to update the video. And I can assign this to people outside and say, Yeah, I'm going to write a script. A coworker, if it's going to cut the video, and I'm going to be doing the editing. I can also set due dates on that. This is for today. This is for tomorrow. On agent starts on Monday. So yeah, as you can see, we are making use of a loop component right inside Outlook. One interesting thing that's been going on as I'm adding this assignees, you can see that the email is being populated with the e-mail addresses of everyone that is involved in this loop component. So Microsoft is doing that automatically because it recognizes that these people are involved in this project. I can also go ahead and add more people or CC more people within your organization. Now if you notice, when I click this little icon, there's a limited list of components here compared to what we have been seeing so far throughout this course. Now, to get the full list, you can go into your loop component, click into your loop component and do the usual for slash. If you do the forward slash, you get a full list of the components that we have in lists, e.g. you get a comment and get a divider, you get voting table, you get the progress tracker. And these are things that we don't have here. We don't have the progress tracker here without a divider here, and we also don't have the voting table here. So for the full list, you go into your live component and you do your usual false lash, and you get your full list. You can also create as many components as you want. You can go up here and create another loop component. So you're not limited to just this one loop component, e.g. there's also another loop button up here, which is similar to the one down here. So if I click outside this current loop component, and I click this, I can add, let's say a checklist. The checklist, maybe the eye level projects that we want to do and all that. And add this to my e-mail. And once I'm done setting up my loop components within this email icon, hit send and send it to all the recipes that I have mentioned up here. So that's how you use look components within Microsoft Outlook.
