workspace on the left we can also now

the word meeting in our search bar

you'll see it finds a range of different

content all across our Loop pages but

even better we now find text on all of

these Pages where the word meeting has

also been inserted so you won't need to

use a loop page titles is the only area

to search from you can use text to find

the relevant Loop page really quickly

using that search button alongside that

we now have a new recents tab showing

all the recent pages and components you

co-pilot capability we can create Loop

pages in seconds just by giving it a

prompt we're going to go and check it

out here by clicking the plus icon to

create new let's go ahead and create a

new page inside of my workspace and

immediately we're prompted to set up

this page with co-pilot we can reuse a

page that already exists inside of our

Loop workspace we simply point it to it

and tell co-pilot what it should now

have in the content alongside that you

can also use a loop template which is

available from all of the Microsoft

templates provided and have co-pilot

fill in all the blanks in relation to

your piece of work but in addition we

can also tell co-pilot to create

something from scratch where we don't

use one of your Loop template Pages or

some you've created before let's go

ahead and ask copon to creat us a new

Loop page around project greenspace our

prompt added into co-pilot we go ahead

and send it into Loop you'll now see

live on the page that co-pilot will now

begin to create the content including

elements like Loop tables and loop

paragraphs and more because now co-pilot

is aware how to use loop it's even more

powerful we can see here it's c its own

scope information for project goals key

deliverables a timeline stakeholder list

potential cuss we're going to have and

also success metrics this was all

created in less than 30 seconds you can

also ask copilot to adjust this page

further but if you're happy select keep

draft and this like any other loop page

can be changed in place you can also

make various additions to it but now

with a new co-pilot capability for

assisting page creation it makes Loop

and copilot even more powerful as part

of loop

2.0 there's some of those new

capabilities you can use today when you

have Loop

2.0 so what do you think about the new

Loop experience in

2.0 do you like the new co-pilot

capabilities and what about that new

user experience and will it change the

way that you work in Loop what I'd love

to know in the comments below and of

course personally I do like the new

experience but I found it most useful to

use the co-pilot capabilities to create

Loop pages in seconds which just saved

me those all important minutes the only

problem though is you will need a

Microsoft 365 co-pilot license which

sadly are not available for free but

outside of that these new changes should

make Loop even better and of course

there's even more changes in the future
