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 anUpdate Licensebutton. 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 Notebook feature
Does anyone have more information and/or insight on the Copilot Notebook feature? I've seen it appear for me in various Copilot instances (Copilot personal, Copilot w/ commercial data protection, and M365 Chat) but it seems to come and go. I can't say I've dug super deep yet, but this is all I found on the web for it:Bing tests new "Notebook" interface for Copilot: live prompt results - MSPoweruser I'd love to understand more things like: In what Copilot instances will it officially show up? When will all users get it? What are some of the benefits/additional capabilities of this experience?The "Reference a file" feature not working as documented
In Word, and based on the help documentation, I'm supposed to see the "Your computer" and "Online" tabs but I don't see them when I choose "Reference a file".I also see this in Outlook. I see only three Excel files and nothing else. These seem to be the last three Excel worksheets I accessed since the installation of Copilot. I tried to save an online Word document in OneDrive but wasn't able to see this file when I clicked on "Reference a file". What might be the issue?
Microsoft 365 Copilot design and architecture
While there is still not too much public information I decided to create a simple design of the different Copilot features together. Much of the Copilot mechanisms is dependent on the Microsoft Search feature in Microsoft 365 which will build a semantic index based upon data that is being indexed from Microsoft 365, but can also include 3. party data connected via Graph. You also have custom federated data sources into the Search Engine from data sources such as Dynamics or Azure Cognitive Search. Will create a new post with the visio once I have all the pieces in here! hope this helps to give you some overview of the feature.Welcome to the Microsoft 365 Copilot community!
