As a Compliance Manager or IT administrator, it's crucial to stay up-to-date on the latest governance, data lifecycle, and compliance posture for the software solutions being used in your organization. This article details the capabilities available and not available yet for [Microsoft Loop](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-loop).

Loop components created outside of the Loop app in other Microsoft 365 apps (such as [Teams](https://support.microsoft.com/office/first-things-to-know-about-loop-components-in-microsoft-teams-ee2a584b-5785-4dd6-8a2d-956131a29c81), [Outlook](https://support.microsoft.com/office/use-loop-components-in-outlook-9b47c279-011d-4042-bd7f-8bbfca0cb136), [Whiteboard](https://support.microsoft.com/office/loop-components-in-whiteboard-c5f08f54-995e-473e-be6e-7f92555da347), [Word for the web](https://support.microsoft.com/office/use-loop-components-in-word-for-the-web-645cc20d-5c98-4bdb-b559-380c5a27c5e5)) are stored in the creator's OneDrive. For example, if User A creates a Loop component within a Teams chat with User B, that Loop component is stored in User A's OneDrive and is shared with User B.

Microsoft Loop is built on top of SharePoint, OneDrive, and [Microsoft Syntex repository services](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/microsoft365dev/introducing-syntex-repository-services-microsoft-365-superpowers-for-your-app/), which means that most compliance capabilities work just like existing files in your ecosystem. Being a file makes Loop content familiar and it to be managed within your existing workflows. To help you understand how Loop content is stored in the Microsoft ecosystem, here's a high-level diagram:

Because Loop components are stored as files in OneDrive, there are many capabilities you're already familiar with that function just like any other file in OneDrive of SharePoint. Here are the notable differences from Office files in OneDrive that are **not available** yet for Loop components:

Where the loop content was originally created determines its storage location:

- Created in the Loop app ➡️️ Microsoft Syntex

- Created in all other places (e.g. Teams chat, Outlook email, Word for the web, Whiteboard) ➡️️ OneDrive

Content created in a Loop workspace is stored in Microsoft Syntex repository services. For more information, see [Introducing Microsoft Syntex repository services: Microsoft 365 superpowers for your app](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/microsoft365dev/introducing-syntex-repository-services-microsoft-365-superpowers-for-your-app/).

### Governance, Lifecycle and Compliance Capabilities

Microsoft Syntex repository services has many of the same compliance capabilities as the rest of SharePoint and OneDrive. However, the capabilities below are **not available** yet for content created in Loop workspaces. While we continue to improve rapidly in this area, if you require any of these capabilities, Microsoft recommends proactively disabling Loop workspaces using the instructions in [Manage Loop workspaces in Microsoft Syntex repository services](/microsoft-365/loop/loop-workspaces-configuration):

-**[Admin Toggles](/microsoft-365/loop/loop-components-configuration#available-policy-settings)** to turn on/off all Loop components in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, if enabled in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem there's a toggle to turn on/off Loop components specifically in Outlook or Teams, and an independent toggle to turn off Loop components for collaborative meeting notes

- When a user leaves an organization, [OneDrive retention policies](/sharepoint/retention-and-deletion) apply to the .loop files just as they do to other content created by the user

By reviewing the above information, you can make an informed decision on whether Microsoft Loop is ready for use as a software solution in your organization. It's important to note that while some compliance items have been completed, there are still items that are in progress and will be available soon. As always, we will continue to update this and other documentation to provide the compliance status of Microsoft Loop to help you make the best decisions for your organization.
