[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late Mar 2024 and expect to complete by late Apr 2024.
[How this will affect your organization:]
If your organization uses multi-geo configuration, data storage for shared Loop workspaces in SharePoint Embedded will be located in the expected geo for multi-geo tenants:
- M365 group-owned workspaces are created in the group’s geo (delivery of M365 group-owned workspaces is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 422728)
- non-M365 group-owned workspaces are created in the creator’s preferred data location.
[What you need to do to prepare:]
There is nothing you need to do to prepare. These changes will roll to your multi-geo configured tenants automatically.

The recent announcement about Microsoft Loop’s multi-geo support for shared workspaces is a game-changer for both administrators and users alike! With data storage now aligned with the expected geo for multi-geo tenants, organizations can expect improved compliance and performance.
For admins, this means less time worrying about where data is stored and more time focusing on strategic initiatives. The automatic rollout of these changes, set to begin in late March 2024, takes the burden off IT teams, allowing them to breathe a little easier (and maybe even grab that extra cup of coffee!).
Users will also benefit significantly from this update. With workspaces being created in the appropriate geographic locations, collaboration becomes smoother and more efficient. No more worrying about data latency or compliance issues—just pure, uninterrupted teamwork. Plus, let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a little digital organization?
As we look ahead, the impact of these changes is likely to be substantial. Organizations utilizing multi-geo configurations will see enhanced reliability and user experience, ultimately driving productivity.
