00:00:00.005 --> 00:00:02.005
- [Instructor] The Loop Web application is a place

2
00:00:02.005 --> 00:00:05.006
to organize information in a shared workspace

3
00:00:05.006 --> 00:00:07.007
where you can collaborate with your teammates.

4
00:00:07.007 --> 00:00:11.003
You can use it for project management, note taking and more,

5
00:00:11.003 --> 00:00:14.005
and of course you can use shared Loop components

6
00:00:14.005 --> 00:00:16.000
in those workspaces.

7
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:20.001
You can get to the Loop app by going to loop.microsoft.com

8
00:00:20.001 --> 00:00:26.003
and sign in with your Microsoft 365 account.

9
00:00:26.003 --> 00:00:28.008
Here I have two workspaces.

10
00:00:28.008 --> 00:00:31.008
You may have different workspaces for different projects,

11
00:00:31.008 --> 00:00:33.009
and each workspace can be shared

12
00:00:33.009 --> 00:00:35.006
with different teams of people.

13
00:00:35.006 --> 00:00:38.001
Naturally, you can click on a workspace to open it

14
00:00:38.001 --> 00:00:39.007
and do some work on it here,

15
00:00:39.007 --> 00:00:43.004
and you can click the Loop icon in the top left to go back.

16
00:00:43.004 --> 00:00:45.003
Instead of using an existing workspace,

17
00:00:45.003 --> 00:00:47.005
I'm going to make a new workspace.

18
00:00:47.005 --> 00:00:49.004
I'll click the plus button at the top.

19
00:00:49.004 --> 00:00:54.003
I'll label this Contract Planning, then click Create,

20
00:00:54.003 --> 00:00:56.005
and now I'm in that workspace.

21
00:00:56.005 --> 00:00:58.004
If you do have multiple workspaces,

22
00:00:58.004 --> 00:01:00.006
you can also easily switch between them

23
00:01:00.006 --> 00:01:03.000
using this menu in the sidebar on the left,

24
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.000
so I could jump over to a different workspace

25
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:06.003
and do some work there.

26
00:01:06.003 --> 00:01:08.001
But for now, I'll go back to that menu

27
00:01:08.001 --> 00:01:11.001
and switch back to the workspace that we just created.

28
00:01:11.001 --> 00:01:13.004
In this workspace, I have one page,

29
00:01:13.004 --> 00:01:15.008
which is currently called Untitled Page,

30
00:01:15.008 --> 00:01:19.003
and from here you can build multiple pages of information.

31
00:01:19.003 --> 00:01:23.000
Click the plus button, then choose New page.

32
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.007
In the title field, I'll call this legal requirements.

33
00:01:27.007 --> 00:01:30.005
And whatever you put in that title field will also be used

34
00:01:30.005 --> 00:01:33.004
as the name of the page in the sidebar on the left.

35
00:01:33.004 --> 00:01:36.003
It's also a good idea to click where it says Add icon

36
00:01:36.003 --> 00:01:38.007
and choose an icon here.

37
00:01:38.007 --> 00:01:41.004
And of course, that will be visible on the page itself,

38
00:01:41.004 --> 00:01:43.005
but it will also be next to the name

39
00:01:43.005 --> 00:01:45.007
of the page in the sidebar on the left,

40
00:01:45.007 --> 00:01:48.001
which makes it much easier to find something

41
00:01:48.001 --> 00:01:50.007
when you have a lot of pages in your workspace.

42
00:01:50.007 --> 00:01:53.008
You may also see a button here to add a cover image.

43
00:01:53.008 --> 00:01:57.006
If you don't see that button, just reload the page

44
00:01:57.006 --> 00:01:59.007
and then you should see it.

45
00:01:59.007 --> 00:02:01.007
This is optional, but you can click on that

46
00:02:01.007 --> 00:02:05.000
and choose a cover image if you want.

47
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.005
Next, I'll click on the body of this page

48
00:02:07.005 --> 00:02:09.008
and I'll type some text.

49
00:02:09.008 --> 00:02:12.009
We'll add more content here later, but this is a good start.

50
00:02:12.009 --> 00:02:15.002
We have a page with some text on it.

51
00:02:15.002 --> 00:02:20.001
I'll make another page, so I'll choose New page here,

52
00:02:20.001 --> 00:02:22.009
but this time, instead of building my page manually,

53
00:02:22.009 --> 00:02:25.005
I can use a template as a starting point.

54
00:02:25.005 --> 00:02:27.009
You could choose one of the templates here at the bottom

55
00:02:27.009 --> 00:02:31.004
or click on Template Gallery and choose one here.

56
00:02:31.004 --> 00:02:34.000
I'll choose this project planning template.

57
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.002
Then click Use his template

58
00:02:36.002 --> 00:02:39.009
and that builds out a page with lots of sample content.

59
00:02:39.009 --> 00:02:43.007
We can see paragraphs of text, bulleted lists, tables,

60
00:02:43.007 --> 00:02:45.004
website links and more.

61
00:02:45.004 --> 00:02:48.009
And this is one of the main benefits of the Loop app.

62
00:02:48.009 --> 00:02:52.006
If you want a page of text, you could make a Word document.

63
00:02:52.006 --> 00:02:54.003
If you want a table of data,

64
00:02:54.003 --> 00:02:56.004
you could make an Excel spreadsheet,

65
00:02:56.004 --> 00:03:00.007
but in Loop you can make and organize many different pages,

66
00:03:00.007 --> 00:03:04.004
which each contain content of many different types.

67
00:03:04.004 --> 00:03:07.002
In fact, one of the main things we'll do in this course

68
00:03:07.002 --> 00:03:09.006
is explore some of the different types of content

69
00:03:09.006 --> 00:03:11.006
you can put on your pages.

70
00:03:11.006 --> 00:03:14.001
Of course, there's much more to working in Loop,

71
00:03:14.001 --> 00:03:16.008
but it's important to start by making workspaces

72
00:03:16.008 --> 00:03:19.003
and adding pages to those workspaces.
