Microsoft Loop Sync Error and Slow Pages

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

1. 1. Test with a new page

   Copy steps
   1. Create a new page in the same workspace
   2. Add a paragraph, a checklist, a three-column table, a Loop component and a small file under 5 MB, pausing 5-10 seconds between each
   3. Check whether the changes appear in a second browser profile or device within 30 seconds

2. 2. Rule out the browser and network

   Copy steps
   1. Try a different browser and an incognito window
   2. Test without VPN
   Did this fix it? Yes No

3. 3. Split a very large workspace

   Copy steps
   1. Move pages into a new workspace to keep each one smaller
   2. Duplicate heavy pages instead of working in one huge page
   Did this fix it? Yes No

4. 4. Open a Microsoft 365 support request

   Copy steps
   1. If the new test page also fails, ask an admin to open a request in the admin center
   2. Include tenant details, reproduction steps, error screenshots, browser, OS and mobile app versions

Symptoms

A sync error dialog after several retries, 'wait or close page' prompts, very slow workspace loading, or edits that do not appear in the web version.

Why it happens

• Content or a component on one specific page
• Too much content in a single workspace (user suspicion)
• Tenant data protection controls or a service-side issue
• Network or VPN interference
