Will Office 365 users be able to edit the existing and new workspaces?

Hello,

Thank you for your response.

1. Editing Existing Workspaces and Components:
   • When it comes to editing existing workspaces and components, the process indeed includes the ability to add new components. Specifically, in Altium Designer, you can use the Component Editor to define or modify components. This editor operates in two modes:
     • Single Component Editing: This streamlined mode allows you to define or edit a single component. It’s the default mode when creating a new component or editing a single revision of an existing component.
     • Batch Component Editing: While primarily designed for multiple components, it can also be used to define or edit a single component if needed.
   • In the Single Component Editing mode, you’ll find the following key regions within the Component Editor:
     • Component: Here, you define essential properties of the component, such as its name, description, unique ID, resident folder, type, and any reference to a component template if required.
     • Models: This section allows you to link saved domain models (or create new ones) for use by the component.
     • Parameters: Craft a set of parametric data that will be applied to the component^1^.
2. Adding Users to Newly Created Workspaces:
   • After the grace period, a Microsoft 365 (M365) user can indeed add an Office 365 user to a new workspace. Both M365 and Office 365 are part of the same ecosystem, and users from either service can collaborate within shared workspaces.
   • When creating a new workspace, ensure that the permissions and access settings allow users from both M365 and Office 365 to collaborate seamlessly.

When it comes to adding users to newly created workspaces in Microsoft 365 (M365), here’s how you can go about it:

1. User Account Creation:
   • Before adding users to a workspace, ensure that each user has a valid Microsoft 365 account.
   • The account provides access to Microsoft 365 services, including workspaces.
2. Admin Privileges:
   • You must have admin privileges (global, license, or user admin) to add users and assign licenses.
   • If you’re not an admin, consider working with a Microsoft small business specialist for assistance.
3. Adding Users:
   • Access the Microsoft 365 admin center.
   • Go to Users > Active users.
   • Select Add a user.
   • Fill in the basic user information:
     • Name: First and last name, display name, and username.
     • Domain: Choose the domain for the user’s account (e.g., ******@contoso.com).
     • Password settings: Autogenerated or custom strong password.
     • License assignment: Select the appropriate license for the user.
       • If no licenses are available, you can still add the user and purchase additional licenses.
       • Limit app access by selecting or deselecting apps.
     • Optional settings: Make the user an admin if needed.
     • Profile info: Add additional information about the user.
   • Review the settings and select Finish adding, then Close.
4. Grace Period for Licenses:
   • If you don’t assign a license to a user, their mailbox remains disabled after a grace period of 30 days.
   • To enable full access, assign licenses promptly.

Remember, adding users to workspaces ensures collaboration and productivity within your organization

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

Based on your description, we understand that you would like to add components to your existing loop workspaces.

As of the recent update, Office 365 users will still have access to their existing pages and workspaces. They can view components from other apps and perform various tasks.

However, there are a few capabilities that may be restricted after the grace period:

1. Creating New Workspaces: This ability will be reserved for Microsoft 365 users.
2. Adding Members to Workspaces: Office 365 users may not be able to add new members to their workspaces.
3. Removing Members from Workspaces: Similar to adding members, this action might be limited for Office 365 users.

In summary, while Office 365 users can continue to edit their existing workspaces, some administrative features related to creating and managing workspaces will be exclusive to Microsoft 365 users.

Additional Helpful information:

As of the recent update, Microsoft Loop features are undergoing changes.

1. Existing Workspaces:
   • If you’re an Office 365 user, you should still be able to edit components in your existing Loop workspaces^.^
   • So, fear not! Your current workspaces won’t be off-limits.
2. New Workspaces:
   • However, the ability to create new workspaces will be reserved for Microsoft 365 users.
   • If you’re using Office 365, you won’t be able to create fresh workspaces, but you can continue working with your existing ones.

Remember, this distinction applies to both editing existing workspaces and creating new ones. 

Thank you, we await for your response.

Regards,
