Symptoms

People you emailed a Loop component cannot edit it and see a request access prompt; sharing a page works but sharing the workspace is greyed out.

Why it happens

• Components sharing depends on where they were created and on your organization's sharing settings
• You are not the workspace owner, so you cannot share the workspace
• Company-wide links versus specific-people links limit who can open the content
• Outdated Outlook build or Loop Preview app bugs (moderator suggestions)
