Copilot in Word - how to compile a list of style decisions
Hello, I was hoping to use Copilot to create a style sheet for a document I am editing – i.e., a list of style decisions I make as I go, choices about spelling of certain words, punctuation, etc. So far I have tried two different approaches, neither of which has worked: First, I asked Copilot if I could tell it these style decisions as I went, so that it could compile them all into a list at the end. It very confidently said that it could do that. But once I started giving it things to be included in the style sheet, it would instead reply with paragraphs of text about the word I'd given it. It clearly thought I wanted it to write things for me. I reminded it a few times that I only needed it to compile the specific words I was giving it. A couple of times it seemed to understand - but invariably it would go back to spewing out long slabs of text. Reminding it what I was doing each time (e.g. "Add to style list: use numerals for numbers greater than 99", or whatever) didn't help. Next, I tried highlighting individual words and phrases to be included in the style sheet. Then I asked Copilot to compile a list of every word highlighted in the document. It gave me a long list of words, a couple of which were highlighted, most of which weren't, and it left out many other highlighted words. Can anyone suggest a method that might work for this task using Copilot's capabilities? I'm new to Copilot so may be coming at it the wrong way. It's an easy task to do myself, as I usually would - and I've now wasted way more time trying to prompt Copilot than it would have taken to do it myself. But I'm curious to know if there's a way to do it.dee-em-oNov 08, 2024Occasional Reader24Views0likes0CommentsTired of Staring at a Blank Page? Let Microsoft's Copilot Be Your Writing Partner

Following Stuart Ridout's sample on building an AI prompt challenge, I got this error. However, there is no indication of where theviolation is. It would be helpful to understand what exactly is triggering this warning.VladTsoyNov 07, 2024Copper Contributor130Views2likes2CommentsCopilot Agents, add knowledge
Currently, it is only possible to add SharePoint sites. Is it somehow possible to add SharePoint lists (Microsoft Lists) as knowledge? Entering the URL of the list does not work because this link is not recognized/interpreted as a web page. Thank you very much.

I am trying to comprehend the scope in which Microsoft 365 Copilot might be able to learn and change it's response on a user-level. I have identified 4 scopes (this might be incorrect) and I am looking for answers about scope 2. Does anybody have some concrete information about this? Scope 1: In the scope of a single chat. - The response can be directly change by the user. e.g. tell Copilot that 2+2=5. then ask what is 2+2. Scope 2: In the scope of all interactions with of a single user. - I cannot find concrete information if Copilot will, or will not, give different responses based on histories of all interactions with me. Scope 3: In the scope of the tenant. - I cannot find concrete information if Copilot will, or will not, give different responses based on histories of all interactions with other users in the tenant. Scope 4: In the scope of the foundation of Copilot service. Data, Privacy, and Security for Microsoft 365 Copilot | Microsoft Learn “Prompts, responses, and data accessed through Microsoft Graph aren't used to train foundation LLMs, including those used by Microsoft 365 Copilot.” Apologies if this is confirmed / unconfirmed in any official source. I spent a few hours looking but was unable to find any concrete answer.PeteStockleyNov 07, 2024Copper Contributor155Views0likes2CommentsCopilot in Sharepoint
Hi, We are trialing Copilot in our business and are experiencing an issue with Copilot searching our Sharepoint folders and files to generate responses. Copilot seems to take information based on the user's activity rather than doing a broad search. This results in information being influenced by projects the user has had direct involvement in, discarding other potentially more relevant information. This is a problem for us as we are a management consulting company and have a vast storage of past projects that we would like used in aspects of future proposals. If the person searching has not had direct, relevant, project participation then Copilot won't retrieve relevant information. This is not an issue around access as all staff have full access to most of our Sharepoint data with a few exceptions. Has anyone else found this and worked around the issue?craighollandNov 07, 2024Copper Contributor231Views0likes4CommentsSchedule a meeting with Copilot in Chat
Can I simply schedule a meeting by using Copilot in Teams chat? for example, I just want to say to Copilot "Schedule a meeting with X tomorrow at 11am", when I try to do that, Copilot replies with "Yes I have scheduled the meeting for you", but actually there's no meeting that was scheduled.samarelhissiNov 07, 2024Copper Contributor237Views0likes4Commentsdate format in chat history
Hello, I live in a country where the date format is DMY. All my computer settings are New Zealand. All my browser settings and regional settings and date format settings are for New Zealand. My M365 account settings are for New Zealand. Despite all this, the copilot chat history shows the date stamps in the order mm/dd when it displays the chat history in Teams or the Work chat history in Edge. When I switch to the Web chat history, the date format is dd Month yyyy, which is much better. I find the mm/dd order confusing. What can I do to have it display in my preferred date format?114Views2likes1Comment
