We need help solving a critical integration gap between Microsoft 365 Copilot and Salesforce.
The challenge: We want Copilot to access Salesforce data (including custom objects) while honoring each user’s Salesforce permissions—profiles, field‑level security, and sharing rules. Current out‑of‑box connectors don’t support this. Using an all‑access integration account is a compliance risk. Why it matters: Copilot is only valuable if answers are both accurate and secure. If a user sees data in Copilot they shouldn’t in Salesforce, that’s a governance nightmare. What we’re looking for: ✅ Support for custom objects & fields ✅ Enforcement of Salesforce profiles, FLS, and sharing ✅ Delegated user authentication (Entra ID ↔ Salesforce) ✅ Works with Microsoft 365 Copilot grounding Questions: - Has anyone implemented this successfully? - Is there a Microsoft or Salesforce roadmap for delegated auth in Copilot connectors? - Do you know a partner or expert who can build this securely? Let’s make Copilot + Salesforce both powerful and compliant.
Creating Work Instructions/Process from a video with Copilot
I'm looking to document a process in the most efficient way possible. Has anyone been able to use Copilot to interpret a video from Teams or a screen recording and have it create accurate work instructions? Would like to save time and avoid manually typing work instructions by potentially using Copilot to speed up this process. Any tutorials would be much appreciated.
Making Copilot the most popular AI on Windows by unlocking its native potential
I believe Copilot has the potential to become the most popular and powerful AI on Windows — not just by answering general questions, but by becoming a truly device-aware assistant. Copilot is already built into Windows and connected to Microsoft apps. So why not make it smart enough to understand your specific computer, your installed apps, and your Microsoft ecosystem? Imagine being able to ask: “Can I run this game on my laptop?” “What’s the best photo editor for my Surface?” “Why is my Outlook calendar not syncing?” “Which apps are slowing down my system?” And Copilot would answer instantly — no need to search Google or read through links. It would also help users navigate Microsoft 365 tools like Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with built-in intelligent guidance tailored to their setup. I call this concept Copilot Local Intelligence Mode — a feature that turns Copilot into a true digital companion, not just a chatbot. It would: Understand your system specs and performance Recommend compatible apps from the https://apps.microsoft.com/ Troubleshoot issues based on your actual device Support users with smart tips across https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365 Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or support for this idea. Let’s make Copilot the smartest part of Windows. #Copilot #WindowsAI #Microsoft365 # I’ve submitted this idea to the Feedback Hub — you can upvote it here:[ https://aka.ms/AAy4l00]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 👇Using the Enterprise Website Microsoft 365 Copilot Connector
Microsoft 365 Copilot Search can be extended by ingesting information from external sources through a Microsoft 365 Copilot Connector. In this article, we show how to configure the Enterprise websites prebuilt connector to ingest articles from the Office365ITPros.com and Practical365.com sites, and how Copilot Search presents that information in its results and summaries.

In today’s fast-paced digital world, AI-powered assistants like Microsoft CoPilot are transforming the way we work, making tasks more efficient and automated. One of the most exciting innovations in this space is the CoPilot Prompt Gallery—a curated collection of prompts designed to enhance user interactions with CoPilot. Whether you are a developer, business user, or IT professional, the Prompt Gallery offers a valuable resource for optimizing how you communicate with AI to get the best results. https://dellenny.com/exploring-the-copilot-prompt-gallery-a-game-changer-for-ai-assisted-workflows/Building Prompts for M365 Copilot That Give Consistently Good Results
Microsoft 365 Copilot is powerful—it can summarize meetings, draft reports, generate presentations, and even help analyze data in Excel. But like any AI assistant, the quality of its output depends heavily on the quality of your input. In other words, your prompts drive your results. If you’ve tried Copilot and found the results a little vague or inconsistent, the good news is that you can get much better outcomes by learning how to write strong prompts. Below are practical strategies to help you build prompts that consistently deliver useful, relevant, and actionable results. https://dellenny.com/building-prompts-for-m365-copilot-that-give-consistently-good-results/Microsoft Use of Anthropic AI Models Creates Concerns for Tenants
On September 24, Microsoft announced that Anthrophic LLMs could be used with the Copilot Researcher agent and to build agents with Copilot Studio. Although it’s great to enable choice so that customers can choose the AI model they prefer, questions about data security, lack of support for compliance solutions, and adherence to standards like the EU data boundary will concern Microsoft 365 tenants. https://office365itpros.com/2025/09/26/anthrophic-copilot/

I tested few computers with same resolution. I need help. Thank you ...SharePoint Knowledge Agent Available in Preview (but where's the magic)
With not a little hype, Microsoft launched the SharePoint Knowledge Agent on September 18. Getting some AI help to organize sites sounds good, but only if the assistance delivered by the artificial intelligence does something useful. In this case, the agent generated some moderately interesting results without ever reaching the level of AI magic anticipated (and reported) by some. https://office365itpros.com/2025/09/25/sharepoint-knowledge-agent/Add Research Agent to another agent
Hello community, I’d like to create a CoPilot agent that automatically generates an extended research report for new projects, based on the core project details (such as product, market, region, etc.) based on an extended online research. Ideally, this agent would leverage the “deep research” functionality, similar to the Research Agent. From what I’ve seen, CoPilot Studios allows you to connect agents to each other—but only if they are agents you’ve created yourself. Is there a way to enable an agent to use the “deep research / Research Agent” function directly? Thanks in advance for your help!
Part 4: Thoughts Under a Cloudy Sky — Copilot Pages UX
In Part 0 and Part 00, I spoke about education and the fragmentation of Microsoft 365 — the hidden roots behind these proposals. Now, let’s pause the theory and reflect on the everyday feeling of Copilot Pages. Every morning, when I open Copilot Pages at the office, the screen feels like a cloudy sky — gray, heavy, uninspiring. Especially after a bright commute, that contrast makes the mood even heavier. But as the all-in-one entry point, Copilot Pages deserves a better face. Even a small design touch could turn the morning start from cloudy gray to a welcoming blue sky. For example: letting users choose their own expression — colors, subtle motions, seasonal themes. Impact Shifts Copilot Pages from “a tool I must open” to “a partner I want to open.” Adds motivation and positivity to daily routines. Proves that UX is not only about efficiency, but also about atmosphere and mood. 👉 Stay tuned for Part 5! Will tomorrow be sunny — under the far horizon 第4弾：曇り空に想うこと ― Copilot Pagesの体験 第0弾と第00弾では、教育の重要性やMicrosoft 365の分断という背景を語りました。 今回は少し視点を変えて、Copilot Pagesを開いたときの“感じ方”に目を向けます。 毎朝、出社してCopilot Pagesを開くと、画面いっぱいに広がる曇り空（グレー基調）。 晴れやかな通勤のあとに見ると、その落差でさらに気分が重くなります。 けれど、オールインワンの入口には、もっと相応しい「顔」が必要ではないでしょうか。 ほんの小さな仕掛けでもいいのです。 毎朝のスタートを「曇り空」から「開きたくなる青空」へ変えて欲しい。 例えば、ユーザーが自分で選べる表情を持たせることです ― 色や動き、季節感を取り入れた選択肢があるだけで違います。 効果 「仕方なく開くツール」から「楽しみに開けるパートナー」へ変わる 日々のルーティンを前向きに彩り、モチベーションを高める UXは効率だけでなく、気分や雰囲気を左右する要素だと示せる 👉 次回、第5弾をおたのしみに！ 明日晴れるかな？ 遥空の下4 hrs 30 min on Copilot 365, 5 min on ChatGPT
I spent 4 hours and 30 minutes on Copil 365 to have it organize files and folders, sort documents, and convert them to PDF. It could not write the script. ChatGPT completed the task in under 5 minutes. Goodbye copilot365 & copilot. You were amazing-NOT! P.S. On top of that, it crashed at least twice.
Copilot Agent - assigning permissions to apps like Outlook and OneDrive
I'm trying to create an agent to do the following: - Automate the process of creating an email addressed to XXX - Attach the most recent file from OneDrive without renaming the file. - Prompt the user for a subject line before sending the email. - Only send the email after the subject line is provided by the user. - Launch the agent when the user enters the prompt 'XXX" - Ensure the attachment is not renamed during the process Copilot will create the agent, but does not send the email. Copilot tells me that the agent may not have access to Outlook to send the email. How do I assign permissions to a Copilot agent? All my searching over the last two hours has left me with no solution. Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you!Candidature spontanée — testeur Copilot avec profil technique et artistique confirmé

Merci pour votre attention, Olivier Jaspart 📧 email address removed for privacy reasonsMoving conversation from one Notebook to another....
Is it possible to move a conversation out of a notebook? I am not seeing the option if it does exist. I don't want to DELETE the conversation as that seems to permanently remove the conversation. This seems like basic function so I assume I'm doing it wrong. THX>Copilot Chat Arrives in Microsoft 365 Apps
The rollout of the Copilot Chat integration with the Microsoft 365 apps has started, with the intention of making it easier to use AI in peoples’ work. Nice as the integration is, the news that an Open in Word action button is coming (soon) to allow content generated by Copilot to be edited in Word is even better. And we round out the week with a note about a change to the domain used by Teams. https://office365itpros.com/2025/09/19/copilot-chat-microsoft-365-apps/
