How to Troubleshoot Microsoft Loop Workspace Status Excluding Linked Pages
Question details
Users need to know if Microsoft Loop Workspace Status can summarize pages that were created externally and added as linked pages, as they currently do not appear in the status summary.

- Product
- Microsoft Loop
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Reviewing workspace summaries and managing page statuses within a Microsoft Loop Workspace.
- Observed behavior
- Workspace Status summarizes pages created directly within the workspace but excludes pages created elsewhere and added as linked pages. In some cases, even internally created pages fail to update in the status.
Ensure your device has a stable internet connection so that Microsoft Loop can properly sync your workspace data before verifying the status.
Verify Page Origin and Report to Microsoft
Since there is no built-in setting to force the inclusion of externally linked pages, you must identify the origin of the pages and escalate the behavior for investigation.
Microsoft Loop currently limits the Workspace Status summary to pages created directly inside the workspace. Externally linked pages are excluded by default, and there is no user-facing toggle to change this behavior. If even internal pages are missing, it may indicate a synchronization bug.
Navigate to your Microsoft Loop Workspace and identify the pages missing from the status summary. Determine if they were created inside the current workspace or imported from another location.
Click the '+' button to create a brand new page directly inside the current workspace. Add some content and check if the Workspace Status summary updates to include this new page.
If the status remains incomplete or fails to include the newly created internal page, copy your workspace URL and make a note of the specific page names that are affected.
Click the 'Help' or 'Feedback' icon located at the bottom right corner or within the settings menu of Microsoft Loop. Describe the issue, provide the gathered workspace details, and submit the report for investigation.
