[What and why]

Microsoft is retiring support for Microsoft Loop components in OneNote for the web. After this change, users will no longer be able to insert Loop components while using OneNote for the web.

To support a smooth transition, existing Loop components on OneNote pages will not be removed and no data will be lost. Existing Loop components will be replaced with links that open the corresponding Loop pages, allowing users to continue accessing and editing their content.
