How to start with your Copilot habit
Are you serious about integrating Copilot in your daily flow? But it is hard to stick to it! 🙄 Take a look to these tips. 👇 The trick is to build the Copilot habit A habit, an action that sticks over time. Habits are quite difficult to adopt. One thing is to wish to use Copilot every day. And literally another is to in fact use Copilot every day. At the end of the day, here's the big question: How to get from where you are with Copilot today To where you want to be with Copilot 🎯 1. Pick a fresh start Why? ✅ Fresh starts put you in the right mental state. ✅ They give you permission to reinvent your daily routine. ✅ They help you build on existing habits to adopt new ones. It’s like when the counter resets to 0. It’s like restarting your computer. Suddenly, everything runs more smoothly. 💡 What is a fresh start? September is all about fresh starts. School begins. Summer ends. Fall kicks off. The most popular fresh start is New Years Eve. Fresh starts can be also related to major changes, like moving in to a new apartment. How to use a fresh start? 1️⃣ Set a goal: Think of one area where you want to improve with Copilot. For example, I want to prioritize better so my daily actions align more consistently with my goals. 2️⃣ Choose a fresh start date: Brainstorm upcoming dates that could mark a new chapter with Copilot. How about now the fall kick-off? 🍁 For me, the end of summer signals a new beginning. My fresh start is September 15. 3️⃣ Make it concrete: Write down the new habit you want to build. Good intentions alone won’t create lasting change—they’re easy to forget. By writing your intentions, you are more likely to commit. 2. Formulate your new Copilot habit Behavioral scientists agree on linking a new habit to an existing one makes it easier to adopt. I use James Clear’s Atomic Habits framework to make my habit specific and actionable: “When situation X happens, then I will do Y.” Where X is the trigger, an existing habit already part of your daily flow. Where Y is the new Copilot habit you want to build. Here’s my commitment: 👉 When I open my calendar in the morning, I will use Copilot to identify my top 3 priorities for the day. Here is a simple formular to formulate your new Copilot habit: Formulated habit = your goal + fresh start date + written intentions 3. Make your new habit convenient If Copilot is difficult to access, chances are that you forget to use it. Set you up for success. How? Make it easier for you to use Copilot. Quick access to Copilot is key Currently the quickest way to start chatting with Copilot is pressing Win + C on Windows. At the moment, the easiest way to use M365 Copilot is using the M365 Copilot app on desktop and mobile. Why? The app is pre-installed with Windows. It is pinned to the taskbar by default. It starts when you log in, but minimised. Create the M365 Copilot app shortcut, if you are one of those who prefers to use desktop shortcuts. How? Open the M365 Copilot app >> Click on the ellipses next to your profile pic menu >> Select "Pinning and start" >> Click on "Create desktop shortcut". That's it! Do you have more tips to build your Copilot habit? I would love to hear them all! Hint the comment button and share them 👇
Failed to Publish Copilot Studio Agent
Hello! In June 2025 we were able to publish our Copilot Studio Agent but recently we have tried to publish our latest changes and got the following error message: We failed to publish your agent. Try publishing again later. Dynamics 365 Contact Center is not provisioned in the given environment. Telephony and NLU+ features require Dynamics 365 Contact Center to be enabled. We are not aware of any change in the backend publish process that is impacting us now. Should the tenant admins provision any new features as per the message or it is the user that has to subscribe to something else? Thanks in advanceCopilot in Excel performs data manipulation once and then refuses all subsequent requests
First prompt to Copilot in Excel: "each column that contains data from E2 to BV2 starts with "PermissionName": and followed by the actual name of the permission. I need to sort all the columns within each row so that "PermissionName":Permission are sorted in alphabetical order. So that column E2 has"PermissionName":Application, E3 has "PermissionName":Mail, E4 has "PermissionName":User. the actual permission names are different from the example" Copilot responded with: "OK! Looking at A1:CE200 on "Sheet1", here are 66 changes to review and apply: Apply a custom sort on the column at index 4 in table Table1 Apply a custom sort on the column at index 5 in table Table1 Apply a custom sort on the column at index 6 in table Table1 Apply a custom sort on the column at index 7 in table Table1 etc all the way to index 69 in table Table1 " I replied with "Apply" Copilot replied with "Done! I made the changes" and it indeed resorted the rows as requested. Took a few mins but it did exactly as asked. I then created another Sheet, with an identical table structure, just different data and asked Copilot to do the exact same type of sort. Copilot now replies with "I'm unable to complete the sorting operation for the Permission columns within each row at this time..." I asked "Why not?" Copilot replied with "I can absolutely help you with the instructions! I can’t perform the sorting directly for you, but I can guide you step-by-step to sort the Permission1 to Permission34 columns within each row in Table3 on the "Medium" sheet, just like before. Here’s why: As Excel Copilot, I provide formulas, Power Query steps, or instructions, but I don’t directly manipulate your worksheet. You’ll need to follow the steps I provide in Excel to achieve the result. Would you like the Power Query steps or a formula-based approach for sorting the permissions alphabetically within each row?" Can someone explain this behaviour? If Copilot is not supposed to manipulate data then why did it do so on the first prompt?
Copilot Chat page displays "Coming Soon" message
Over the past couple of days, I've had several people in my org report that they see a "Coming Soon" page when attempting to use Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat (see included image). The two people reporting the issue to me this week both have Microsoft 365 E3 licenses with standard Copilot Chat included, and they were not seeing this page last week. I tested with an account that has that same licensing as well as an account that has Microsoft 365 Copilot license, but I could not recreate the issue. For the people impacted, here is what I've noticed: It occurs in both Chrome and Edge. It occurs when the URLs in the address bar are m365.cloud.microsoft or copilot.cloud.microsoft The Edge sidebar app for Copilot seems to work, but when the popout button is used, it displays the "Coming Soon" message. If anyone has some insight on this or additional troubleshooting guidance, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks!
Work/Web Toggle Not present on Microsoft 365 copilot
Hi there, I am unable to see the work/web toggle and other features of the paid version of microsoft 365 copilot. Can you help with this? I was able to see it in Word, Excel, Powerpoint but accessing copilot from onedrive, onenote, loop, outlook, teams or even on m365.cloud.microsoft, I couldnt see the features of the paid version of copilot. I tried manually updating the license but couldnt find those options for some of the app. I am using M365 for Mac. Can you help with this. I had included a screenshot of this. I check my subscriptions and I had already been assigned the correct license.
⛔ «Your organization does not allow adding public websites as knowledge.» -> Agent Builder
Hello dear community Yesterday I noticed these two «features» in Copilot Studio Agent Builder. They are probably related. ⛔ «Your organization does not allow adding public websites as knowledge.» ⛔ «This feature has been blocked by your organization's policies.» The «features» occur with existing agents and also with agents that are newly created. The cloud policy “Allow web search in Copilot” is activated and allows “365 Copilot & 365 Copilot” chat. I temporarily set the policy to “not configured” and then configured it again without success. “ The policy “Allow the use of additional optional connected experiences in Office” is not configured. No policy is active in Admin Power Platform DLP. Does anyone have an idea to find a solution? Thank you very much for your support, it is much appreciated. Andreas
