How to Move a Microsoft Loop Page and Subpages to Another Workspace

Maira Mehtab Sep 21, 2026 870 views

Question details

The user needs to move or copy a Microsoft Loop main page along with its entire hierarchy of over 20 subpages to a different workspace, but the default move function only transfers the main page.

Product: Microsoft Loop
Device & OS: not provided
Scenario: Migrating a comprehensive project structure or page tree to a different workspace for team collaboration.
Observed behavior: The standard move function only processes the parent page and fails to migrate the nested subpage hierarchy together with it.

Before you start

Before attempting to migrate your pages, ensure you have the necessary edit permissions for both the source and destination Microsoft Loop workspaces.

Solution 1Recommended

Use the Add to Workspace Workaround for Page Migration

Since Loop does not currently support moving a full page tree, you can link the main page to the new workspace and manually migrate the subpages.

Microsoft Loop currently processes page movements individually. When you attempt to move a parent page, nested pages do not automatically follow. The best current workaround is to link the main page to the new workspace and rebuild the sub-hierarchy.

Locate the main page

Open Microsoft Loop and navigate to the main page you want to move in your source workspace.

Access page options

Click the three-dot (More options) menu located in the upper right corner of the page interface.

Add to destination workspace

Select 'Add to workspace' from the dropdown menu, then choose your destination workspace.

Manually migrate subpages

Navigate to the new workspace. Since only the main page is linked, you must manually recreate or copy the content of your 20+ subpages into the new destination and verify user permissions.

Linked Page Limitation: This method creates a linked page where the original workspace remains the primary source. Fully detaching the hierarchy requires manual copying of all content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I duplicate an entire Microsoft Loop workspace?

Currently, Microsoft Loop does not offer a direct feature to duplicate or clone an entire workspace. You must create a new workspace and manually copy or link individual pages.

Why are my subpages not moving with the main Loop page?

Loop's current architecture processes page movements individually. The 'Move' or 'Add to workspace' commands only apply to the selected parent page, not its nested subpages.

Does removing a linked page in Loop delete the original?

If you remove a linked page from a destination workspace, the original page in the source workspace remains intact. However, always double-check warning prompts before confirming any deletion to avoid accidental data loss.

Is there a way to bulk export Loop pages?

Loop does not currently support bulk exporting of an entire page tree or workspace. Pages must be copied, shared, or exported individually.
