How to Create and Use Microsoft Loop Page Template Easily 2026
By Impran M N
Rebuilding the same meeting notes layout from scratch every week wastes time and leads to inconsistent formatting across teams. This guide covers both applying one of Loop's built-in templates and turning your own page into a custom template that others on your team can reuse.
01Use a built-in template
Create a fresh page, scroll to the bottom of the canvas, and select a layout from the template row.
02Apply the template
Click through the preview drawer, choose your desired option, and click 'Use this template' to apply the structure.
03Or build a custom layout
Format a page with your own tables, task lists, and brand layout strings exactly as you want your team to see them.
04Save it as a template
Click the three dots icon in the top right page options and select 'Turn into Template.'
05Name and publish the template
Enter a descriptive name, assign a category, and click Save to lock the layout into your shared team gallery.
06Test the new template
Spawn a brand new page and verify your custom template appears ready for one-click deployment.
Frequently asked questions
Can I edit a template after I've already saved it?
Yes, you can update the source page and re-save it as a template, though existing pages already created from the older version won't retroactively change.
Are custom templates visible to my whole team?
Custom templates are saved to your team's shared gallery, making them available to anyone with access to that workspace.
Do built-in templates cover common use cases like meeting notes?
Yes, Microsoft provides ready-made layout models for common formats like meeting trackers, project hubs, and FAQ logs.
What happens to existing pages if I update a shared template?
Updating a template shouldn't retroactively alter pages already created from it, since each page becomes an independent copy once generated.
