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.
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]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. It’s quick, easy, and seamless – so really pretty good! https://office365itpros.com/2025/09/29/microsoft-365-copilot-connector/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/

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.Candidature spontanée — testeur Copilot avec profil technique et artistique confirmé
Objet : Candidature spontanée — testeur Copilot avec profil technique, artistique et disponibilité immédiate Bonjour, Je me permets de vous contacter pour proposer ma candidature en tant que testeur volontaire avancé pour Copilot, avec demande d’accès prioritaire ou de soutien matériel. Je suis un homme de 57 ans, basé en France, avec un parcours technique et artistique complet : Bac F3 électrotechnique BTS Informatique Industrielle BTS Méthodes et Exploitation Logistique Formation AS400, maintenance et développement de systèmes industrialisés Licence récente de Développeur Concepteur d’Applications Compétences graphiques confirmées (dessin, analyse visuelle, sens critique sur les générations d’images) Je suis actuellement dans une situation où je dispose de beaucoup de temps libre, d’une forte motivation, et d’une expertise polyvalente — mais je suis limité par un PC sous Windows 10, non upgradable pour des raisons matérielles et financières. Je souhaite contribuer activement au développement de Copilot, en tant que testeur volontaire, analyste de comportement IA, et créateur de prompts visuels. Je peux fournir des retours détaillés, des séries de tests, des analyses techniques et artistiques, et des cas d’usage concrets. Je sollicite donc : Un accès prioritaire aux outils Copilot, y compris les versions avancées Un soutien matériel ou une solution d’accès adaptée à ma situation La possibilité de contribuer officiellement au programme de testeurs ou de bêta-testeurs Je suis disponible immédiatement et prêt à m’investir pleinement dans cette mission. Merci pour votre attention, Olivier Jaspart 📧 email address removed for privacy reasonsCopilot 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/Part 00: Beyond Team Pride — Copilot Pages as the True Entry Point
In Part 0, I shared my personal motivation from an education experience. Building on that, here I want to highlight another reason — the fragmentation of Microsoft 365. The Problem The boundaries between apps are too strong, so to users they appear as completely separate worlds. The Challenge If this siloed culture continues, even new features will not solve the root issue — they will only add more complexity. My Proposal (Parts 1–3) That’s why I made my proposals in Part 1–3: Part 1: Simplify Copilot fragmentation Part 2: Vertical navigation to prevent getting lost Part 3: Dynamic sidebar for meetings Feasibility This is not an impossible idea. With Graph API and Fluent UI, plus existing side panels (e.g., Teams), unified lists, switching, and a meeting sidebar can all be implemented. It’s mainly integration and UX alignment, which makes it low-cost and high-impact. My Ask So please, prioritize user experience over team pride. If Copilot Pages becomes the true all-in-one entry point, Microsoft’s technology will shine even brighter — and users will finally say: “This is exactly what we’ve been waiting for.” 👉 Next: Part 4, “Thoughts Under a Cloudy Sky”, to explore the future vision. 00弾：メンツよりユーザー体験を ― Copilot Pagesを入口に 0弾では、自分の教育体験からの“きっかけ”を書きました。 その延長線上で、もう一つの理由――Microsoft 365の分断問題について整理します。 Microsoftの問題点 アプリごとの境界が強すぎて、ユーザーからは“別々の世界”に見えてしまう。 Microsoftの課題 この「縦割り文化」が続けば、新機能を出しても根本的な解決にはならず、かえって複雑さを増すだけです。 私の提案（第1〜3弾） だからこそ私は、第1弾〜第3弾の提案を出しました。 第1弾：Copilot乱立の整理 第2弾：縦スクロールUIで迷子防止 第3弾：会議UXの進化（動的サイドバー） 提案実現の可能性 これは実現不可能な話ではありません。 Graph API と Fluent UI、そして既存のサイドパネル（例：Teams）を組み合わせれば、統一リスト／切替や会議サイドバーは実装できます。 要は 統合とUX整理 であり、低コスト・高効果です。 最後にお願い どうか、メンツよりユーザー体験を最優先にしてください。 Copilot Pagesが本当のオールインワン入口になれば、Microsoftの技術はさらに輝き、ユーザーはこう言うでしょう。 「これこそ、私たちが求めていたものだ」と。 👉 次は第4弾、「曇り空に想うこと」 で、さらに未来像を描きます。Agent in a Day: Workshop with Microsoft

Last week, I saw a Microsoft-provided Outlook Index Agent in the Agent templates under my account in Tenant A, which has an active M365 Copilot subscription. This week, I tried to create the same Outlook Index Agent in Tenant B, which also has an active M365 Copilot subscription and preview features enabled, but I couldn’t find the template anymore. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Could it be due to incorrect operations, or are there any settings in the admin center that need to be adjusted?Mastering Microsoft Designer A Step-by-Step Guide, Benefits, and Use Cases

Microsoft 365 Copilot now has some SharePoint skills to deploy in the SharePoint admin center. The problem is that the skills aren’t very good and don’t do much to help hard-pressed SharePoint Online administrators cope with the vast explosion of sites that exist in many tenants today. The problem is data. If Copilot doesn’t have the information to reason over, it can’t answer questions or give advice. https://office365itpros.com/2025/09/16/sharepoint-skills-copilot/Case Study Reducing Support Ticket Volume Using AI Bots Built in Copilot Studio
