Getting a popup while using copilot365
Hello, I am getting a popup every 20 seconds or so while using copilot365 which is identical to the popup in this edge help thread; https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftedge/forum/all/pop-up-in-browser-potentially-caused-by-copilot/21345cf9-6904-4eaf-a7c0-0538724b2eaa I am also having copilot tell me my organisation has turned off web search when I simply have not. I have tried reinstalling both copilot365 and edge, as well as clearing caches, but none of it has helped. Any ideas?
Copilot missing in Word, Excel and PowerPoint desktop apps
Hi everyone My company has recently purchased some Copilot for Microsoft 365 licenses, one of which was applied to my account on Monday. If I use Teams desktop app and the new Outlook desktop app Copilot is there and works fine. I can also use Copilot in the online versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint. However, Copilot still isn't showing up in my desktop apps for Word, Excel and PowerPoint. I've checked and we're currently on the Monthly Enterprise Channel and the version of M365 Apps for Enterprise on my machine is Version 2311 Build 16.0.17029.20140, which seems to be the latest version. This is the same for all our users that have Copilot licenses and they are all experiencing the same issue. I've signed out and back into the Office apps and also checked for any Office or Windows updates but there's nothing that seems to get Copilot to appear in these apps. The one weird thing I've noticed is that in lots of guides one solution is to go to File > Account in Word/Excel etc and click an Update License button. However, if I do this I don't see this button: I'm wondering whether this suggests I'm not using the correct version of the Office apps? Any help would be graefully received.
Copilot suggestions
Looking for best way to source a research asset library that contains files on different topics. Want to ask demographic or product specific questions and have copilot pull answers. The asset library sits within our company intranet sharepoint site so it's more than 2 levels deep. Also, I have tried to apply a copilot to a client site containing a document library and copilot is not pulling any information on things I know it should be able to find. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
M365 disconnects my Dropbox account every single day
I have been working from an iPad on a Word document stored in my Dropbox account for several years now. A few months ago, out of the blue Office started disconnecting my Dropbox account literally every single day. I tap Open in Word to open the doc, Dropbox opens up Word, and then nothing happens. I go into Settings->Files and Storage->Storage Accounts, and Dropbox is just gone. I have to manually reconnect my Dropbox account literally every single day of my life. I have reported this issue over and over and over through Help->Tell Us What Can Be Better in Word iOS. Numerous app updates have been released since this problem started happening and absolutely nothing has been done to fix it.Scheduled Prompts
As of May 12th, Copilot Actions went away; from what I can tell it's now under Scheduled Prompts. It requires a Power Automate Standard license. If I have a Power Automate for Office 365, will I have access to use Scheduled Prompts? It looks like my business premium license gives me access to standard and premium connectors in Power Automate along with business process flows. I was relying on the Copilot Actions tool daily. I hope this will still be available.Why Copilot Access to “Restricted” Passwords Isn’t as Big an Issue as Uploading Files to ChatGPT
Some sites picked up the Microsoft 365 Copilot penetration test that allegedly proved how Copilot can extract sensitive data from SharePoint Online. When you look at the test, it depends on three major assumptions: that an attacker compromises a tenant, poor tenant management, and failure to deploy available tools. Other issues, like users uploading files from SharePoint and OneDrive to process on ChatGPT, are more of a priority for tenant administrators. https://office365itpros.com/2025/05/20/microsoft-365-copilot-pen-test2/
Microsoft 365 Copilot for Excel
Copilot is not generating information from a simple Excel file. It's a consolidated excel sheet from Dynamics 365 Crm data having 29 columns and 6426 rows. Is there any cleanup or data transformation needs to be done before uploading to copilot or any guidelines available to use Copilot in Excel.
