Question details

The user needs to remove a duplicated or shared page from a specific Microsoft Loop workspace without causing it to be deleted from the original workspace or other linked locations.

How to Remove a Microsoft Loop Page from One Workspace Without Deleting It

Product: Microsoft Loop
Device & OS: not provided
Scenario: Managing documents and shared pages across multiple workspaces.
Observed behavior: Removing a page from one workspace automatically deletes it from all other workspaces where it was added or shared.

Before you start

Before making any changes or deleting pages in your workspaces, ensure you have copied any critical text or components to a safe location to avoid accidental data loss across all linked instances.

Create a Manual Copy to Safely Unlink Workspaces

Since Microsoft Loop currently links shared pages synchronously, the most reliable workaround is to manually copy the content into a completely new, unlinked page.

Microsoft Loop does not currently feature a native 'unlink' button for shared pages. When a page is added to multiple workspaces, it acts as a single synchronized file. Deleting it from one workspace deletes the source file everywhere. To bypass this limitation, you must create a standalone duplicate.

Open the desired Loop page

Navigate to the workspace containing the shared Loop page that you want to keep and open it.

Copy all content

Click anywhere inside the page and press Ctrl+A (Windows) or Cmd+A (Mac) to select all the content, then press Ctrl+C or Cmd+C to copy it.

Create a new blank page

In the left sidebar of the destination workspace, click the '+' icon to create a brand-new, blank page.

Paste the content

Click into the new blank page and press Ctrl+V (Windows) or Cmd+V (Mac) to paste the copied content. Give this new page an appropriate title.

Delete the original linked page

Return to the original linked page in the unwanted workspace. You can now safely delete it. Since your newly created page is entirely separate, it will remain unaffected.

Create a Manual Copy to Safely Unlink Workspaces

Feature Limitation: Many users have reported this missing 'unlink' functionality. Submitting feedback directly through the Loop app ('Help' > 'Give feedback') can help Microsoft prioritize this feature in future updates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does deleting a Loop page in one workspace delete it everywhere?

Microsoft Loop uses live, synchronized components and pages. When you share or add a page to another workspace, it creates a live link to the original file rather than an independent copy. Because they share the same source, deleting the file from any linked workspace removes the source entirely.

Is there an official fix date for unlinking Loop workspaces?

As of now, Microsoft has not provided an official release date for an 'unlink' or 'remove from this workspace only' feature. Users are encouraged to use the manual copy-paste workaround and submit feedback to Microsoft Support.

How can I share a Loop page without linking it?

To share information without creating a live, synchronized link that affects your workspace, you should manually copy the text and paste it into a new, separate Loop page, or export the content to a standard document format like Word or PDF.
