status updates,

00:00:08

or questions in real time directly in your emails

00:00:11

without having to switch apps.

00:00:13

To insert a loop component into a message,

00:00:16

you must now go to the insert tab of the Outlook ribbon.

00:00:19

From this section,

00:00:20

click loop component to access the list of available items.

00:00:24

Ergonomics have evolved.

00:00:26

Components are now better organized and come with a quick overview

00:00:29

to help you choose the one that best suits your needs.

00:00:33

Among the proposed components,

00:00:35

you can insert a to do list,

00:00:37

a Kanban board,

00:00:39

a simple board,

00:00:40

or a quick vote.

00:00:42

Let's take the example of the Kanban board to manage a website creation project.

00:00:47

Once the component is added to your message,

00:00:50

enter a title,

00:00:51

then start filling out the first column with the tasks that need to be done.

00:00:56

Assign each task to a team member by

00:00:59

typing their name directly into the corresponding card.

00:01:02

When someone is assigned a task,

00:01:05

that person is automatically added to the message

00:01:08

recipients if they are not already assigned.

00:01:11

Loop components sent from Outlook are shared based

00:01:13

on the permissions set in your organization.

00:01:16

Before sending the email,

00:01:17

you can change the components sharing settings.

00:01:20

To do this,

00:01:21

click the name of the loop component,

00:01:23

located at the top left of the component,

00:01:25

and then select the first option that appears.

00:01:28

In the window that opens,

00:01:30

you can adjust the access rights according to your needs.

00:01:33

Currently,

00:01:34

only members of your organization can view or edit a loop component.

00:01:39

Once the permissions are configured,

00:01:41

write the subject of the message and send it.

00:01:43

The team will be able to collaborate directly from their email,

00:01:47

evolving the cards on the combo board as the project progresses.

00:01:51

All changes are visible in real time to all employees.

00:01:54

This synchronization facilitates teamwork and

00:01:57

makes coordination much smoother.

00:01:59

To follow the project,

00:02:00

you can continue to use the email or open the

00:02:03

loop application directly from the link inserted in the component.

00:02:08

It is also possible to share this component in a team's channel.

00:02:12

To do this,

00:02:13

right click on the component title and copy the link,

00:02:16

then

00:02:16

paste it into the desired conversation.

00:02:19

Team members will be able to interact with this component,

00:02:22

whether they access it through Outlook or Teams.

00:02:26

All contributions are centralized,

00:02:28

which allows for consistent tracking

00:02:31

and efficient project management.
