Hello, Microsoft 365 Insiders! My name is Kenichiro Chiba, and I'm a Product Manager on the Loop team. I’m excited to share that you can now print your Loop pages as well as export them as PDFs.

 

Do more with Loop content using the new Print & PDF export command

 

We heard from many of you through our Feedback portal that you want more flexibility when sharing and distributing your Loop content. One way you want to do that is by leveraging the PDF format. The other is by printing.

 

We’re happy to deliver on both counts!

 

How it works

  1. Go to https://loop.cloud.microsoft, sign in with your AAD or MSA credentials, and open an existing Loop page.
  2. Select the Settings and More (…) and then select Print & PDF export or press Ctrl+P (Windows) or Cmd+P (Mac).

  3. On the Printer or Destination menu in your browser's Print dialog box, select Save as PDF to export the Loop page as PDF, or select a printer to print the Loop page.

  4. Adjust options, such Scale (%), Layout, and Paper size, as needed, and then click the Save button to export the Loop page as a PDF or click the Print button to print it..

 

Availability

This feature is available to all users of the Loop app. See this help topic for details about how Loop features are licensed and made available as part of certain Microsoft 365 plans.

    This is so clunky. The print function doesn't work for some people but it does for others. The task list doesn't render for the print job so you've to copy the print URL to a different tab and then cancel the print until it renders and then print. Loop, another MS took with promise but struggling.

    Thanks for the article. Loop printing didn't work at all and now it half works - leaving task lists incomplete. Sharing tasks and recording them is the only reason Loop is useful. Why is MS so lazy with Loop development? Basically, I just can't rely on Loop for work. It is a great idea but too unstable, and shonkily maintained

      Exactly. Especially when you write a lot and then find some of important contents cannot be exported or ctrl-c/ ctrl-v to other documents. Losing time ☹️.

    Not working for us also, and is essential to be able to print to PDF for our use case. Be great if this could be resolved

    This isn't working out for myself, nor quite a few people (according to this thread: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/cannot-print-or-convert-to-pdf-in-microsoft-loop/f8361d48-b9be-49d7-a03d-54f9e0462ccf)

    Hi Linda, This does not work and gives the following error. It would also be helpful to export to word.

    This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

      Frustratingly, I'm getting the same error. 

      There doesn't seem to be any work around available. 

      Frustrating because some loop components have been setup to fit directly into current high level reports, and this is a barrier to sharing those reports to non-digital stakeholders (via a printed copy).

    Can we export entire workspaces? Or at least be able to print parent's pages with all sub/child pages.
