We have rolled back the Microsoft Loop component feature in Microsoft Word for the web introduced in December 2022 to users in the Targeted release track, as communicated in MC478687 Loop components in Word for the web in Targeted release (December 2022).
Users will no longer be able to insert new Loop components in Word for the web from the ribbon. Existing Loop components will function as normal, and pasted Loop components will now appear as links in Word documents. Loop components will continue to be available in all other apps, including the Loop application, which provides access to all Loop components seen in Word for the web and elsewhere.

For admins, this change could mean some adjustments in training and support for users who were accustomed to utilizing Loop components in Word for the web. It might require some communication to ensure a smooth transition and understanding of the changes.

Existing Loop components will still work as usual, and pasted components will now show up as links in documents. So, it’s more of a detour than a dead-end!
