Label groups on Loop pages are awesome. I love that they can be applied to not only table columns, but whole pages in general. However, it seems that label groups created on one page, are not available on any other pages in the workspace? Am I missing a really obvious way to make label groups available workspace-wide or even Loop-wide so they can be used on other page in other workspaces?
Also, I do see how to add new label groups, edit titles and/or colors of labels in an existing label group, and remove labels from a label group, but not how to add labels to an existing label group? Or even delete a label group I no longer need? Anyone know if there is a way to manage label groups globally within Loop to remove label groups, add labels to existing groups, or make label groups available on any other page than the one where there were created?

I just discovered that you CAN edit the label group by simply typing the new selection you want in a "blank" cell. As soon as you start typing, a pop-up to "Add option" appears. If a selection had already been made, I simply hit backspace or delete to clear it, and then I could start typing the new thing. I put "blank" in quotes because the "blank" cell actually said "Add option" in it before I selected a label, which might have been obvious if I wasn't looking where I created the label to find an edit option.
For example, I created a label group called "Attendance" with the selections "Present" and "Not present." Almost immediately, I realized I wanted options for "Came late" or "Left early" to show that someone wasn't there for the whole meeting, and I added them as above.
....and I just answered one of my own questions. To add a new label to an existing label group, type the new label into a blank table cell where the label group is applied and the new label will be added to the group. You may also apply a label to a page and when choosing a different label at the page level, "add label" is an option there.
I have also discovered that a label group can be transferred to a new page if you apply the label group to a page (not a table column), select the label element on the page, then copy and paste it to a new page. The title and options of that label are now available on the new page. This has to be done one label group at a time it appears.
I would like to echo the concerns raised here and share my own experience to further emphasize the need for a resolution.
I am looking to replace my OneNote with Loop, mainly because of sync issues which OneNote is famously notorious of; and easiness of integration with another Office products. However, a crucial piece of my work is labels. OneNote stores all used labels in one database, and you can seamlessly replicate the labels of one notebook, section, or page into another. This doesn’t seem to be the case with Loop.
While some workarounds have been shared, they are cumbersome. I have indeed tried to create a “master” page for all the labels I use, and then duplicate the page to use it on a fresh new page. Not even when doing this, the label groups are transferred; what happens is that only built in labels are available (which for me are useless).
Does anyone have any recommendations or updates on this?
Despite how useful the labels are, it's unfortunate that managing them is quite cumbersome at the moment... Are there any updates on whether or not it is possible to delete label groups? If so: how does one go about doing so?
