kept someone in the loop
Shared ongoing updates
To keep someone in the loop is to ensure they receive ongoing information about a situation or project.
The loop suggests a circuit of communication that some people are inside and others outside of.
Make sure you keep me in the loop on any developments.
The opposite is to leave someone out of the loop—uninformed and excluded from decisions.
