explanation for non-techies**

Imagine Microsoft Loop Pages as a digital whiteboard that you can hang on the wall of your office meeting room. This whiteboard is now available as a tab in your Microsoft Teams channels, much like adding a new picture frame to your wall. You and your team can write on it, draw diagrams, and share ideas in real-time, all while staying within the familiar environment of Teams.

Starting in September 2025, you can try this out in a public preview, with everyone getting access by October 2025. It's like testing a new feature in your office before deciding to roll it out to everyone. This feature will be on by default, meaning it will be ready to use without needing to flip any switches.

With Loop Pages, you can create, edit, and share these digital whiteboards directly in Teams channels. If someone mentions you on a Page, you'll get a notification, similar to getting a ping when someone calls your name in a meeting. You can also view these Pages on your mobile device, so it's like having a portable version of your office whiteboard wherever you go.

As these Pages become more popular, it's important to check who can see and edit them, just like you would decide who gets a key to the meeting room. By default, they follow the same permissions as the channel they're in, but they can also be shared outside the channel. It's a good idea to review your organization's data sharing policies to make sure they match up with how these Pages are being used.

You might want to guide your team on how to use these new Pages effectively, much like training someone on a new piece of office equipment. Keeping an eye on how they're used can help you update any rules or guidelines as needed.

Finally, consider any compliance implications, such as how data is shared and accessed. Think of it as ensuring that the new whiteboard doesn't inadvertently expose sensitive information to unauthorized people. By staying informed and prepared, you can make the most of this new feature while keeping everything secure and efficient.
