Hi, I'm Darrell as a Service, at your service. I am an independent consultant, helping organizations make the most of Microsoft 365. I blog and create videos and courses at Modern Work Mentor. I'm also co-host The 365 Message Center Show with Daniel Glenn, to help prepare organisations for changes coming on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap.

I like to help people tell their stories about work, life and the balance in between. I have a keen interest in mobile videography and live streaming.
In recognition of my contributions to the Microsoft 365 community, I have received a Microsoft MVP award since 2013.

OneNote or Loop? How to pick the right Microsoft app for Your productivity needs

Microsoft has two note-taking apps that seem to overlap: OneNote, the classic digital notebook, and Loop, the new app that lets you create and share notes within Microsoft 365. How do you decide which one to use for different purposes? What are the advantages and drawbacks of each app? How do they fit into Microsoft’s vision for the future of note-taking?

In this session, you will learn how to compare and contrast OneNote and Loop based on their features and functionality. You will also see how they can be used in various scenarios to enhance your personal and team productivity. Whether you are a loyal OneNote user, a curious Loop explorer, or somewhere in between, this session will help you make the most of Microsoft’s note-taking solutions.
