How to Comment in Microsoft Loop Easily 2026

Sign in and land on the Loop home screen, which greets you by time of day and offers three tabs: Workspaces, Recent components and pages, and Ideas. If you haven't created a workspace yet, this is also where you'd start one — workspaces are the shared containers that hold your pages, tables, and boards. Pick an existing workspace from the left-hand list or the grid view to move into the page you actually want to comment on.

Inside a workspace, the left sidebar lists every page — Project Brief, Meeting Notes, Project Planning, and any sample pages Loop has generated for you. Open the one with the content you want to discuss.

In this example, that's a Sample Loop page containing a live Tasks table with rows for sample work, due dates, and status buckets like Done and To do. Comments in Loop attach to specific components like this table, not just to the page as a whole, so it's worth navigating to the exact block before opening the comment tool.

Hover near the top-right corner of the table (or select the text or block you want to talk about) and click the small comment bubble icon that appears. Loop opens a comment field right beside the component, under an "Active comments" heading, with a text box prompting "Add a comment..." This keeps the conversation visually tied to the exact table or paragraph it's about, which is the whole point of commenting inside Loop instead of a separate chat app — anyone opening the page later sees the feedback sitting right next to the thing it refers to.

Click into the comment box and type your feedback. If you need to pull in a specific person, type @ followed by their name to mention them — this notifies them directly rather than relying on them to stumble across the comment on their own. Keep comments specific to the component they're attached to; a note like "can we move this task's due date up" is far more useful sitting next to the actual table row than buried in a general chat thread.

Send the comment, and it appears immediately in the Active comments panel on the right, tagged with the commenter's name and a "Just now" timestamp — in this case, a short note reading "Good tasks" attached to the Tasks table. Everyone with access to the page sees the same panel update in real time, which is Loop's multiplayer model at work: no refresh needed, no separate notification tab to check first.

As the conversation grows, reply directly under the original comment to keep related feedback grouped instead of scattering new top-level comments across the page. Once the point raised has been addressed — a due date changed, a task reassigned — click the checkmark on that comment thread to mark it resolved. Resolved threads collapse out of the active view, which keeps the Active comments panel readable instead of turning into a scrollable backlog of settled discussions.
