Unlicensed M365 Copilot users seeing Work / Web switch?
We have a mix of licensed / unlicensed M365 Copilot users. We noticed today that users who do not have an M365 Copilot license are now seeing the work / web toggle in Copilot chat (copilot.cloud.microsoft). Is anyone else seeing this? Pretty sure that's not supposed to happen.26Views0likes1CommentLink is broken to create a flow - Copilot in Teams
When I try to create a flow in Copilot Studio for Teams, I get an information "Looks like that link is broken" The error occurs when I access a "Topic", click on "Add an action" and then on "Create a flow" I'm using Microsoft Copilot Studio version 1.2.8 in Microsoft Teams version 24335.208.3315.1951. And this problem is occurring in any chatbot agent created.220Views0likes4CommentsSummarizing scanned PDFs - Copilot
I am leading a test group of users for my organization, and had a question for the community about Copilots ability to read scanned pdf documents. Our group hasn't had success with scanned document, and I am not sure that Copilot has the exact ability to do so since it is basically and image rather than text. Has anyone tried doing this or have any work around for getting this accomplished?15KViews0likes4CommentsError while trying to use Copilot in Excel
I get the following error constantly: "As a Microsoft 365 Personal or Family subscriber, you'll be able to use Copilot when you're signed with your Microsoft work or school account (Entra ID) and Microsoft personal account. However, that ability is not yet available." What to do?282Views0likes8CommentsCopilot Studio - Questions about Knowledge

Is there anyone who is using it and performing well? Do you have any recommendations on what the file should look like? Pdf, Word, Excel, with or without topics I would appreciate it if you could support us Thank you for your attention325Views0likes1CommentSharing Prompts within Organization Only
Hi, We see the Copilot Prompt Gallery where we can see Microsoft's prompts and my saved prompts only. However, we would like to share prompts across the organization and track them in an organized way. Can we do this within a Microsoft environment like this website? If so, how? Again, the prompts wouldn't be shared with anyone outside the organization but will be shared with anyone within the organization. Is this possible to do now or are we waiting for updates to be released? Thanks!29Views0likes1CommentI want to turn off or hide the draft with copilot dingbat that follows my cursor around in MS Word.
I have seen a few articles on this website, and I know it's not possible but I'm going to ask anyway. For reference this is what I'm referring to: It's more I find the little thing following me around on my screen to be annoying and distracting, I've managed to hide or disable anything related to copilot on my system except this little dingbat. When a new document is open you get a little message that says "Select the icon or press Alt + i to draft with copilot" It would be nice if I could hide that as well, yes copilot is a *feature*, and I don't care about it. I also want to hide the paste with copilot and just used the local paste options that were built into previous versions of word. I suspect that there is a copilot dingbat that is stored somewhere on my system, possibly in a font, and as I have already made a few detrimental modifications to my operating system registry, I'm not wary of messing up my computer any more than it could be. The only saving grace I have at the moment is there is an issue with my account, so any accidental triggering of the feature causes it to crap out. (So long as I don't accidentally press the 'fix account" button) I know that if it was easy to turn off there would be a button for it, I know Microsoft probably wants us to use this feature because it means more data for them to collect, an I'm disappointed in the loss of user agency that's resulted from this rollout, and there's a spike in animosity towards AI in general.Solved18KViews15likes29CommentsPin Copilot Chat - Admin Center
My dear friends, I pinned the Copilot Chat to the navigation bar through "Admin Center > Copilot > Settings > Pin Copilot Chat > Mark checkbox Pin Copilot Chat to the navigation bar (recommended)" This was performed about 72hr ago and I still can not see any copilot pinned to the Teams, Outlook etc. As per my understanding, this configuration should pin Copilot to the left side of Teams, correct? Our licenses are Microsoft 365 E3 + Defender. Any tips in why this is not working? Thanks in advance22Views0likes0CommentsUsing Files with Copilot
I am relatively new to the Microsoft 365 license for Copilot but I have quite a bit of training on ChatGPT 4, which, I believe, is the engine behind Copilot. When I tried to upload a file by clicking on the paperclip icon, I got a very limited list of files to choose from, rather than the ability to browse for any file that I had. After playing around for a while and opening, closing and moving some files, the file I wanted finally appeared on the list. This is very limiting. As I said, I am new at this version of Copilot and it may just be a setting that I missed and need to adjust. Is anyone else experiencing the same?25KViews0likes23CommentsCopilot not loading in desktop Mac Excel
When trying to load the Copilot sidebar in the Mac desktop version of Microsoft Excel Version 16.91 (24111020), all I get is a loading animation (see screenshot). I've got a Microsoft 365 Subscription, and Copilot for Microsoft 365 license. Copilot works fine in Word. The document I'm working with is saved in a SharePoint team through my OneDrive app, and is formatted as a table.128Views1like5CommentsFile Share Connector Indexed Results Not Appearing in Copilot Results.
When attempting to use the file share connector, the results are not appearing in copilot, though they do appear in the search vertical, and I am able to check user access and see that I have access to them. The staged rollout includes myself. I did my best to follow https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftsearch/fileshare-connector in the setup of the connector. Does anyone have a though of why it would not show results in Copilot?63Views0likes1CommentOneNote files not being indexed by Copilot for M365
Based on my tests Copilot for M365 does not seem to be indexing onenote files and yet based on this article onenote files should already be within the scope of what is being indexed. Can you clarify what is the behavior to be expected now and if support for onenote files is to be yet released and what is the GA estimated date?635Views9likes4CommentsRequest to increase context length
Hello, I think users would greatly appreciate the ability to include more context in prompts. In my experience, results can be dramatically improved if you can include more examples and background information directly in the prompt. While you can attach longer files, this is in my experience not nearly as effective as directly including information in the prompt, as attaching files I assume uses something like RAG to pull snippets of your context instead of the entire thing. This is especially important when including examples as in few-shot prompting. If I want to use Copilot to help me write a longer document, I want to provide multiple already completed examples of this longer document. However, with the context limit of Copilot for M365 I might not even be able to fit one example in the prompt. This is not an issue with ChatGPT which has a much longer context length (128k tokens vs. 16k characters in Copilot). If users are able to write prompts with more context I think they will see much better results and therefore see the value of Copilot for M365 in a much clearer way. Thank you for your consideration.24Views1like0CommentsCoPilot in Outlook for multiple mailboxes?
Hello everyone, my customer wants to use CoPilot in Outlook for more than one mailbox. I just learned that CoPilot in Outlook is only available for the users primary mailbox. Of course I'm not happy about that, but let's put the complaints aside for a moment. What if we buy a Copilot license for multiple users and add their mailboxes to Outlook. I'm not talking about delegation or shared mailboxes, I'm talking about adding multiple mailboxes with different users. Will that give me access to CoPilot scenarios for all those mailboxes? I have my doubts, because I assigned a CoPilot license to a user with an Exchange Online P1 license, which was configured in Outlook as a second user, and the CoPilot feature did not show up. If anyone is able to use CoPilot in Outlook for multiple mailboxes, please let me know how you did that. Thanks a lot, Christian Toller tethis IT e.U. Vienna, Austria263Views2likes3Comments
