Copilot Agent inside SharePoint site is not able to answer questions regarding the custom columns
I have a SharePoint online document library named Test. and it has those 3 custom columns inside a custom content type:- now using a username named Mohannad , i uploaded 2 documents, and for one document i defined a user named "Test User" as the "MC / Project Lead (Use)", as follow:- but when i asked the agent this question, about who is the Project Lead , i did not get the "Test User", instead i get the user Mohanand:- also when i ask the agent about the project team, i got this answer:- so how i can modify this behavior? Second question. when Copilot said that the document is authored by Mohannd, how it get the Author info? based on the created by field inside SharePoint? and can we create a custom column , so the copilot reads the author from it instead of relying on any built-in field?How to create out of office messages using Copilot
Take the time you need to relax or handle personal matters without worry. A well-crafted out-of-office message can ensure everything runs smoothly in your absence. And you don't have to do it alone! Microsoft Copilot is here to help you create the perfect out-of-office message for Outlook, Teams, or any other communication app quickly and easily. #Copilot #Microsoft365 #Productivity #MPVbuzz #CopilotForM365 #M365Data Extraction and Manipulation
Right. So I have been trying to achieve the following; Extract Key Data from a structured PDF > Push this Key Data into a Word/Excel document I can get parts of this process to work. Copilot seems pretty good at extracting data from PDFs and Excel files etc, it will show me the correct data in the chat. BUT when I ask it to push this into a pre-existing word template it just doesnt work. The best result I had was when Copilot added the Key Data to the end of the Word doc. Not what I wanted but not a million miles off. Its also fine with putting this into a new word document. So it feels like Copilot has all the functionaility required but just wont combine this with using a pre-existing word/excel template. I even tried content control boxes. For some context, this sort of thing (basically copying pasting data from one doc to another) is incredibly time consuming and there is a LOT of this in my industry. Hoping that there is a way to achieve this, even if it means multiple steps etc! 🙃
1MB attachment limit for Microsoft 365 Copilot
Good morning, Copilot community! Referencing the Microsoft Answers post "Why is Copilot Pro not allowing files larger than 1 mb to be uploaded", is there an update about if or when the 1MB file attachment limitation will be lifted for organizational Microsoft365 licensed users of Copilot? Thank you
How can I permanently remove the irritating copilot icon from my word document
How do I get rid of this from the documents I create? I have copilot switched off in preferences and I have it deleted from my menu bar and yet, I just can't get rid of this icon/text? How do I just get a normal word document? I noticed that my subscription sneakily went up to £105 per year from £80 per year and the only way to revert back to my old subscription was to cancel it. So, I don't have copilot switched on, nor am I or will I pay for it but the copilot prompt just won't disappear. Any ideas would be welcome... thanks
Word: 'Give all nouns that appear >X times' not working as expected
Hi! When using Copilot in Word, I tried several iterations of the question 'Give me all nouns that appear over 6 times. Provide your information in a table and include the number of times the noun occurred'. Copilot provided a nice table, but it was not complete by far. The document was under 7500 words so that should not have been the issue. What prompt should I use to achieve my goal? Anyone any idea? I want to put repeating input fields in the document and wanted to see for which words/terms this would be worthwhile, which is why I was hoping Copilot could provide me with a quick overview of repeating terms. Thanks, MerelProposal for Enhancing ChatGPT's Response Quality During Training
Dear Microsoft Research and OpenAI Teams, I hope this message finds you well. I would like to propose a method for significantly improving the quality of ChatGPT’s responses during its training phase, specifically without relying on a chain of reasoning. Using the current version of ChatGPT, it is possible to annotate the logical accuracy of statements in a structured manner. This method could substantially enhance response quality at the foundational training stage and help mitigate hallucinations. The approach I apply is highly cost-effective and does not require complex reasoning chains. Furthermore, it could inspire the development of even more efficient techniques based on similar principles. Using the existing ChatGPT, you can break down the entire text into sentences and check each sentence separately in the training data. This is very inexpensive compared to other text verification methods and immediately provides huge results without complex algorithms. Proposed Logical Annotation Categories for sentences: logical-error ok100 (completely true) ok90 (high probability of truth) ok60 (moderate probability of truth) ok51 (slightly more likely to be true than false) usually false sentence strongly depends on other sentences in the text and the context Example Code Snippet for Annotation. Below is a version of the code I use to classify and mark logical inconsistencies in text to detect nonsense(rave) in text written by humans. The same method can be used for labeling training data. This will allow each sentence to be as logically accurate as possible, so that it aligns with the facts. It will exclude sentences that are intentionally erroneous from the text. It will also account for subsequent errors in other generated sentences, considering what has already been written. This will make the text easier to read. After that, the model can be fine-tuned to make the text more pleasant and more human-readable. gptApiRequestTypeIsQuestion -> { val isQuestion = phrase.endsWith("?") val requestStateResult: Int = if (isQuestion) { gptApiRequestStateTypeResultTrue } else { gptApiRequestStateTypeResultFalse } ignoreApiRequest(timeId, requestId, phraseId, requestType, requestStateResult) } gptApiRequestTypeIsTooShortToCheck -> { val isTooShortToCheck = phrase.substring(0, phrase.lastIndex).trim().contains(" ").not() val requestStateResult: Int = if (isTooShortToCheck) { gptApiRequestStateTypeResultTrue } else { gptApiRequestStateTypeResultFalse } ignoreApiRequest(timeId, requestId, phraseId, requestType, requestStateResult) } gptApiRequestTypeIsStatement -> { prompt = "Is this phrase a statement? Answer only yes or no.\n\nphrase\n_" fullPrompt = "Is this phrase a statement?

A person can analyze their statements from the perspective of logic and consistency, checking for any contradictions, logical errors, or unsupported conclusions.\n\nstatement\n_" fullPrompt = "Find errors in the statement using: Logical check. A person can analyze their statements from the perspective of logic and consistency, checking for any contradictions, logical errors, or unsupported conclusions.\n\nstatement\n$phrase" } gptApiRequestTypeIsLogicalErrorBoolean -> if (isLogicalErrorText != null) { prompt = "Does the statement description say that the statement contains clear logical errors?

Answer only yes or no.\n\nstatement\n_" fullPrompt = "Is this statement in $percentStr cases true? Answer only yes or no.\n\nstatement\n$phrase" } gptApiRequestTypeIsTrue90 -> { percentStr = 90.toPromptPercentStr() prompt = "Is this statement in _ cases true? Answer only yes or no.\n\nstatement\n_" fullPrompt = "Is this statement in $percentStr cases true? Answer only yes or no.\n\nstatement\n$phrase" } gptApiRequestTypeIsTrue60 -> { percentStr = 60.toPromptPercentStr() prompt = "Is this statement in _ cases true? Answer only yes or no.\n\nstatement\n_" fullPrompt = "Is this statement in $percentStr cases true? Answer only yes or no.\n\nstatement\n$phrase" } gptApiRequestTypeIsTrue51 -> { percentStr = 51.toPromptPercentStr() prompt = "Is this statement in _ cases true? Answer only yes or no.\n\nstatement\n_" fullPrompt = "Is this statement in $percentStr cases true? Answer only yes or no.\n\nstatement\n$phrase" } This system could be extended and fine-tuned to further improve AI response accuracy while maintaining computational efficiency. I would love to discuss this idea further and explore how it might be incorporated into future iterations of ChatGPT. Please let me know if you would be open to a discussion.

Hi, I would like to create a Parent Agent that can orchestrate other SubAgents based on topic, so I can also be flexible and expand/adjust the SubAgent population based on need. Should I build in Copilot Studio using Topics or Visual Studio Code building a custom agent or ... ? How can I have a multi-agent framework, with shared but also dedicated knowledges? Thank youHow to create video with AI using Microsoft Copilot
You have no more excuses not to create videos! There is a new AI feature that lets you create videos from a description in Microsoft 365. Users can type a Copilot prompt, and Clipchamp will generate a bespoke script, source high-quality stock footage, and assemble a video project complete with music, voiceover, text overlays, and transitions. You can edit the video in Clipchamp to update the script, replace the selected media or extend the video with new content. #Copilot #MicrosoftCopilot #Productivity #MPVbuzz #AI #Microsoft365 #VisualCreator
View Agent Builder Agents in Copilot Studio
I am having difficulty viewing the Agents I have created using MS365 Copilot Studio Agents Builder (let's call them 'Agent Builder Agents') within Copilot Studio and wondering if anyone else is having this problem? I am following the recommended steps for creating, sharing and using Agent Builder Agents, but I then have no visibility of these within Copilot Studio. However, if I create the Agent within Copilot Studio (let's call them Copilot Studio Agents), then I do not have this limitation. Is this because my Copilot Studio environment is not configured properly or is this an inherent limitation of Agent Builder Agents?
CoPilot SOC 2 Type 2 Report
Is a release date planned for the CoPilot SOC 2 Type 2 report? I understand that a report is in the works but does not appear to be loaded in the Trust Services Portal yet. Similarly, I understand that CoPilot has achieved several ISO certifications. Searching the Trust Services Portal for ISO, I have been unable to locate the CoPilot ISO Certs. Have the certs been posted or are they still pending? If pending, is there defined timing for their release?
Connector item/data size limit?
I have a declarative agent with an Azure DevOps 'Get query results' connector as an action. I am having an issue wherein the number of work items that the agent can process and output only seems to be limited to 200+ work items (despite 'Number of Work Items to Return' is set to 2000 and queries have 400+ work items). Is there a data size/number of items limit that the agent can process and output? I can't find any documentation on it.

Copilot now assists you in gathering and creating notes using natural language prompts based on your Microsoft 365 content directly on the page. If you often take notes in OneNote, you might spend time manually preparing meeting agendas, capturing notes during meetings, or collecting relevant project information to stay effective and productive at work. With the new Take notes with Copilot feature, you can now use a natural language prompt editor directly on the canvas to extract relevant information from sources such as Microsoft 365 documents, messages, and emails. #Copilot #MicrosoftCopilot #Productivity #MPVbuzz #AI #Microsoft365Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption communities
We have recently launched a Viva Engage Community at our university to support the adoption of MS365 Copilot and are in the process of having this converted to a 'Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption community' type (see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/engage/engage-365-copilot-adoption-platform) as we didn't know this Community type existed at the time of creation. We are finding Viva Engage to be a very helpful way to exchange knowledge and co-create best practice guidance on the use of MS365 Copilot and feel this will become increasingly important as staff learn to create, publish and share Agents in SharePoint and other environments. I would be interested to hear how other organisations are using Viva Engage to support MS365 Copilot adoption - particularly those working in higher education or similar fields.
Limitations of Copilot in Word
I wanted to raise some disappointing limitations of Copilot in Word which would benefit from Microsoft implementing a solution. Or happy to be guided if it's simply a case of my own lack of knowledge... If I create content within Word, it doesn't create/provide links to references used (although it does do so if same request is done via Copilot in Teams/Copilot Chat) if I use the copilot icon in the blank page to creat/make request, after actioning my request is not visible, i.e. does not retain history of requests It does not edit content I've provided to reformat it. for example I gave it the following request "This document is an informative article. I would like you to reformat it so the text is split across two columns on each page. Also enhance it with suitable images and call-out boxes" it failed to action. A lot of my time is often spent on formatting/designing etc which is where AI would have been helpful.Improve and shorten mission statement for organization
