The “Agentic” Intranet: Securing and Scaling M365 Copilot with SharePoint & Teams
Microsoft 365 Copilot has crossed an important threshold. It is no longer just a clever chat interface that summarizes documents or drafts emails. In 2025, Copilot is becoming agentic—capable of acting, orchestrating tasks, and reasoning across your organization’s knowledge landscape. And that’s exactly why many IT leaders are nervous. https://dellenny.com/the-agentic-intranet-securing-and-scaling-m365-copilot-with-sharepoint-teams/
📌 Enhancing Arabic Language Support and Multilingual Intent Accuracy in Microsoft 365 Copilot
Hello Microsoft 365 Copilot Team, I would like to submit a formal proposal requesting an enhancement to the Arabic language experience and the multilingual intent-handling capabilities within Microsoft 365 Copilot. This proposal is based on practical observations across real usage scenarios in environments where users actively switch between Arabic and English for daily productivity tasks. 1. Background and Context Microsoft 365 Copilot has demonstrated exceptional performance in English-language workflows. However, in regions such as the Middle East—where a significant portion of users operate in bilingual environments—there remain notable gaps in language interpretation, UI localization, and multilingual intent retention. Enhancing Arabic language capabilities would meaningfully improve accessibility and align Copilot with the linguistic diversity of Microsoft’s global user base. 2. Observed Challenges in Current Behavior While Copilot excels in English, several recurring issues appear when interacting in Arabic or mixed Arabic–English contexts, including: Limited accuracy in understanding complex Arabic phrasing Reduced reliability when maintaining intent after switching languages within a single prompt Lower naturalness and structure in Arabic text generation when compared to English output Restricted availability of Arabic UI options for Copilot-specific interfaces Occasional misinterpretation of instructions containing blended terminology (Arabic user phrasing + English technical terms) These challenges collectively impact productivity and consistency for users who depend on Arabic as a primary working language. 3. Proposed Enhancements To ensure a more inclusive and reliable multilingual experience, the following improvements are recommended: 3.1 Full Arabic UI Support Across Copilot Surfaces Enable comprehensive Arabic interface options in all Copilot experiences, including Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, and online applications. 3.2 Improved Arabic Natural Language Processing Enhance Copilot’s ability to understand and process Arabic grammar structures, context, dialectal variations, and hybrid Arabic–English prompts. 3.3 High‑Quality Arabic Text Generation Ensure outputs are clear, natural, and aligned with the stylistic expectations of native Arabic-speaking users. 3.4 Intelligent Multilingual Context Preservation Implement mechanisms that allow Copilot to maintain accurate intent when users transition between languages within the same instruction. 3.5 User‑Controlled Language Preference Settings Provide configurable options enabling users to define preferred input and output languages on a per-application or global basis. 4. Anticipated Benefits Implementing these enhancements is expected to: Improve overall accessibility for Arabic-speaking users Strengthen productivity across bilingual workflows Expand the suitability of Copilot for enterprise and governmental organizations operating in Arabic-speaking regions Increase adoption and satisfaction within a key growth market Align Copilot’s capabilities with diverse global language expectations These improvements would strongly support Microsoft’s broader mission of delivering inclusive, globally relevant AI-driven experiences. 5. Closing Statement Thank you for taking the time to review this proposal. Advancing Arabic language support and strengthening multilingual intent handling would provide significant value to a large and growing segment of Microsoft 365 users. I appreciate your continued commitment to improving the Copilot experience for users worldwide.
Allow new line on Enter / CTRL-Enter to submit instead of Enter submits
Allow ENTER to give a new line and CTRL-ENTER to submit in the Microsoft Copilot 365 desktop app in Windows/Copilot in all Microsoft Office applications. (Third time posting this as both previous attempts mysteriously vanished with no reason/explanation given. So this time it's just the TL;DR from the removed posts. If it survives, I'll add more commentary.)Microsoft 365 & Co-pilot, getting started
Hi, my company has recently given me a co-pilot license to see how I can utilise this in Excel. I am trying to do some simple exercises to get familiar with the product. I have a small table of data and I am asking co-pilot to do basic things like add a total at the bottom, colour a cell green etc. Each time I give it an instruction, it is creating a new spreadsheet to download instead of giving me the option to 'apply' the change to existing worksheet. I have ensured that the autosave is turned on and I am on share drive. I'm not sure why this isn't working and wondered if anyone can help me with this issue?CoPilot Agents - Word Tables
Hi, We have been trying to create a CoPilot agent within the business that can read data in a referenced folder within SharePoint and output a summary. Now the prompt I'm using works perfectly when using the "Researcher" agent within CoPilot, but when I use it in the agent the output is very different. For added context. I have made a SharePoint site which has a folder for each project and then all the docs relating to that project within. The user says to the agent, "give me a project overview for QXXXX", what should happen is, the agent finds that folder, which it's seemingly doing and it provides all the info in the layout I've mentioned in the prompt. So it can find the right folder, and it gives a good overview of the project. But any information that's within a table in word, it doesn't retrieve, I've even told it what document has the content in the table it should be bringing back and it says it can't read tables in Word. When I've researched this it seems to be the way CoPilot interprets the data is different depending whether you upload the file or just reference it like my agent is doing. Then in Researcher alternatively, I copy and paste the prompt into the text box, attach cloud files and select the project folder and the output is perfect. It retrieves all the content, dates etc and it's exactly what we need. My aim was to make an agent that can do the same but doesn't require the user to attach the folder, they can just give it the project number and it does it's thing. I'm still pretty new to agents, and appreciate it's still slightly new, but it doesn't feel like it should be doing that. Would anyone with some expertise in agents be able to assist in me fixing this? And if possible, be available via email for me to ask some further questions? Happy to provide any further information if needed. Thanks
Copilot Chat in Word, Excel, etc but not in Outlook
I have an issue where Copilot Chat is available in all Office applications except Outlook. Environment: Windows 11 24H2 Microsoft 365 Microsoft® Outlook® for Microsoft 365 MSO Version 2510 (Build 16.0.19328.20266) 32-bit In Outlook, I can see the Copilot button, but the Chat experience is not available. I only see options like Reply and Summarize when an email is selected. Additionally, right after starting Outlook, the Copilot button is briefly visible, then it disappears again and only reappears once an email is selected. Why is the Copilot Chat not available in Outlook, while it works in all other Office applications?Incomplete ansers in code boxes
Lately, Copilot gives me more an more incomplete one line commands in code boxes. I often get an empty code box as well. When telling copilot to fix this, the next answer will contain the complete and correct commands. I would expect copilot not to make such errors. I usually tell copilot to check the ansers before presenting to me. My prompting is surely not perfect, but it seems to me that this is more a cache or buffer problem. Anyone has experienced similar issues? Is there a solution? Examples: I get blockdev --getsize64 the correct answer would be blockdev --getsize64 /dev/drbd3 copilot corrects this when I tell it to check it's output. Another example, I get: xfs_growfs /var/lib/lxc/smb/rootfs/home df -h /var/lib/lxc Correct answer would be xfs_growfs /var/lib/lxc/smb/rootfs/home df -h /var/lib/lxc/smb/rootfs/home Another one: blockdev --getsize64 /dev/dr Correct would be: blockdev --getsize64 /dev/drbd3What’s new in Copilot Chat quality roadmap — December

Здравствуйте, коллеги. При генерации изображений в Copilot результат часто отсутствует, даже при простых промптах. Вместо картинки возвращается пустой ответ. Ожидаемое поведение: Изображение должно быть создано либо должен появиться отчёт о причине сбоя. Фактическое поведение: Изображение не создаётся, возвращается пустой ответ. Предложение: Если изображение не сгенерировано из‑за ошибки, нужно указывать причину и предлагать решение. Например: Если модель не поняла формулировку промпта. Если формулировки вступают в конфликт друг с другом. В таких случаях пользователь должен быть информирован и получить подсказку, как исправить запрос. Это позволит экономить время и использовать Copilot в профессиональных сценарияхNo-Code AI: How Non-Developers Can Build Smart Chatbots with Copilot Studio

Proposal: Exploring User-Centric Improvements for Copilot
Please note that I do not speak English, and this text was written with the help of Microsoft Copilot. Hello, I would like to share some feedback about Microsoft 365 Copilot. I believe Copilot could be improved by making it more user‑centric. For example, it would be helpful if Copilot could adapt its responses to reflect the user’s writing style, adjust its tone depending on context, and provide answers that feel more personalized. Such improvements would make Copilot not only more effective but also more natural to use in different scenarios. Is there any plan to explore these kinds of user‑focused enhancements in future updates? Thank you!

Feature Request: Add Search Functionality in Copilot Chat History
Hi everyone, I’d like to suggest a feature for Microsoft Copilot that I believe would significantly improve usability and productivity: searching within chat history. Currently, users cannot search past conversations inside Copilot. This makes it difficult to retrieve previous answers, references, or technical instructions—especially in long or complex chats. Adding a search bar or keyword filter would allow users to quickly locate relevant messages without scrolling manually. This feature would be especially helpful for developers, IT professionals, and anyone using Copilot for technical troubleshooting or documentation. It would also reduce repeated questions and improve continuity across sessions. Please consider adding this capability in future updates. If others agree, feel free to upvote or share your use cases. Thanks!
