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

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! 🙃
Copilot Chat: Missing Web/Work Toggle Bar – How to Enable It?
Hello I have an Office 365 Business Standard license and purchased a Copilot 365 license. I can access all Copilot applications, but in Copilot Chat, I don’t have access to the Web/Work toggle bar. How can I make this bar appear (not working from edge, ms365copilot.com or windows app)? Is there a specific configuration required to enable the Web/Work toggle? (I am the admin of my tenant and have followed the guides, but I haven't found a solution to my issue.) Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

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
Summarizing the last week's emails
Hi all, I'm new to copilot so bear with me! I want to have copilot chat go through my inbox for the last week (sometime 2 weeks) and no matter how I do it, I can't get the detail that I want in one prompt rather than typing in "Can you provide details on the emails received on Monday?" letting it run and create the output then asking about Tuesday, Weds etc? Thank you in advance!
Copilot Edge Icon in Looping
Hi All, I have configured two tenants for Copilot EDR. I can open copilot via edge icon (upper right) then log in with an Azure User with no issues, for tenant 01, and the shield icon for EDR is there as expected. For tenant 02, when I try to log in the copilot using edge icon, it enters in a loooping, I log then return to the same page asking for login, I log again, return to same page again, etc. For this same tenant, we have no issues when using copilot.cloud.microsoft, it only happens if we try the edge icon. Any tips? Thanks in advanceCopilot for Outlook not working on our company email-adress?
Hi, We have Microsoft 365 Business subscription, and i have downloaded Copilot in Outlook. But I still dont get access to making it draft emails. I have read several places that it only works with outlook.com, hotmail.com, live.com, eller msn.com. But is this accurate when we have a Business-account? Or is it because we dont subscribe for Copilot Pro?
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... thanksCan't select PDFs or other files in PPT Copilot
Hi all, When generating presentations in Powerpoint using Copilot, I'm unable to select any files other than word files when choosing a file to generate a presentation from. My copilot has updated so I can only generate these presentations from this window opposed to the sidebar: Is there anyway to ensure files other than the word documents in my onedrive appear here? Thank you 😊How do I create a company agent based on 30 Sharepoint files?
I have been extremely disappointed with Copilot after a year plus of struggles. I want to create a company chat bot based on core documents. One for HR, one for company methods, etc. It seems CoPilot Studio is the only way -- it is arcane, complex, confusing -- i have "something" working but not at all effective. If someone has a streamlined approach to using CoPilot Studio, I am all about it, but I struggled for hours to get a mediocre bot. The value of O365 is the collection of thousands of documents. CoPilot seemingly has no access to them. Microsoft is adding small plus up features to excel and ppt, but the power of AI is to process large quantities of data and help a human make sense. This should be microsofts competitive differentiator, but it is totally absent. Am i missing something?
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, MerelWhen not to purchase Copilot Studio
Copilot agents are everywhere and for everyone. They are experts on a topic, able to talk to other agents, start an automation, and complete tasks for you. Agents can boost team productivity and process efficiency. Productivity dreams may come true with agents. That's how the need to use and create agents increases every day. ✅ Stay calm and read further before making any purchase decision on the M365 admin center. It may save you over 224,64 EUR monthly with a 1-year upfront commitment. 👇 Who can create agents, and how? M365 Copilot licensed users can create agents using Copilot Studio. Although the creation is not available for M365 Copilot non-licensed users, they can add and interact with agents. Nowadays, the easiest way to create Copilot agents is as follows: Use the built-in version of Copilot Studio. Do not start from scratch. Instead, use an agent template like the Prompt Coach to build your own. Why do agents bridge the gap between M365 Copilot licensed and non-licensed users? Agents are an excellent option for providing M365-Copilot non-licensed users access to Copilot capabilities grounded on organizational data. Even if users are not licensed with M365 Copilot, they can benefit from Copilot grounded on organizational data via agents. Can I purchase Copilot Studio? Copilot Studio is a no-code Power Platform tool that allows the creation of Copilot agents. The M365 Copilot add-on license already includes licensing for Copilot Studio. You can find it as Copilot Studio in M365 Copilot. There are 3 different ways to license Copilot Studio: 🤖 Copilot Studio pay-as-you-go meter: 0.01 USD per message (no upfront commitment) 🤖 Copilot Studio message packs: 200 USD per tenant, per month 🤖 Copilot Studio in M365 Copilot: 30 USD per user, per month Nevertheless, there's a product called Microsoft Copilot Studion on the purchase services on M365 Admin Center. I am not quite sure, what this product is for. If you know it, please let me know in the comments. 🛑 The challenge is: Microsoft Copilot Studio on the M365 admin center purchase services can easily be mistaken for Copilot Studio in M365 Copilot. Be cautious!Proposal 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? Answer only yes or no.\n\nphrase\n$phrase" } gptApiRequestTypeIsLogicalErrorText -> { prompt = "Find errors in the statement using: Logical check. A person can analyze their statements from the perspective of logic and consistency, checking for any contradictions, logical errors, or unsupported conclusions.\n\nstatement\n_" fullPrompt = "Find errors in the statement using: Logical check. A person can analyze their statements from the perspective of logic and consistency, checking for any contradictions, logical errors, or unsupported conclusions.\n\nstatement\n$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$phrase\n\ndescription\n$isLogicalErrorText" } gptApiRequestTypeIsTrue100 -> { percentStr = 100.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" } 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.

Hello, I am using MS 365 Copilot to generate presentations on some reports that I have, however when I try to specify the number of slides that I would like the presentation to be, Copilot never uses this and will always generate many more slides than I asked for. Is there any specific prompting I could use to make this more consistent or any other tips? Any help would be appreciated, thanks! 😄Orchestrator + SubAgents
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 you
