Copilot Studio Agent vs SharePoint subfolders
Hi community, We are exploring the Copilot Studio Agents and are running into some issues. When we add the root library of a SharePoint site the agent is able to search the documents within, however when using only a subfolder of the site as a knowledge source it can't find any documents. The agent response is: "I have searched the available knowledge base but could not find any instructions on "Subject XXX". I read it can take up to 24 hours to build the index for subfolders, however after 3 days of waiting the agent still can't find any documents. I've tried making a new agent directly adding the subfolder as a source. The permissions of the user configuring the agent are also correct and the user has full access to all the files. I've also tried working with subagents with no success either. Has someone else experienced the same and is it correct agents can't work properly yet with subfolders of SharePoint sites?Solved87Views0likes1CommentAgent «Workflows (Frontier)» is not available - one solution
Perhaps this solution, which I developed together with Microsoft 365 Copilot GTP-5.2 Deep Analysis, will help someone else. All the usual solutions failed. Link to the support documents. The Edge browser has a developer mode. That was the right solution. English: «Workflows is not available Something went wrong.

In the SharePoint Agent preview (ended in October 2025), Microsoft permitted unlicensed users to access SharePoint agents. I guess the reason for it was to enable organizations to evaluate agent functionality and provide feedback before licensing and billing requirements were applied (?). After the preview period concluded, it now seems that all users are required to have a Microsoft 365 Copilot Add-On license to interact with SharePoint agents. Users with, for example, a Microsoft 365 E3 license can only access the free version of Copilot (Copilot Chat), but do not have interaction privileges with SharePoint agents. A while ago, one of our CSP partners recommended us to buy a capacity pack and set up pay-as-you-go billing. In their opinion, this would replace the need for the Microsoft 365 Copilot Add-On license. However, we do not want to buy these expensive package unless we know for sure that this is the case. Can anyone answer the question: Does using a capacity pack and pay-as-you-go billing override user license requirements? Thank you ❤️SolvedmvahlinOct 27, 2025Copper Contributor357Views2likes4CommentsMaking CoPilot Work for our Organisation
We're currently exploring how Microsoft Copilot can be used to support our bid writing process, and I’d really appreciate some insights or examples from others who’ve tried anything similar or just have a good understanding of CoPilot. What We’re Trying to Do We’d like Copilot to help us write and draft bid responses by referencing information already stored across our SharePoint libraries — including past bids, case studies, and company information — and then generate new content in our tone, structure, and style. In essence, we want Copilot to act like an “internal bid writer” that knows our history and can draw on it intelligently when producing answers. What We’re Trying to Understand I’m trying to get clarity on a few key things: What does GPT-5.0 actually bring to Copilot — is it just better reasoning and writing, or does it enable deeper integration with our Microsoft 365 data? What do we need to do (technically or in terms of setup) to let Copilot “see” our environment — e.g., access our SharePoint libraries and use that content effectively? I've saw some things around Microsoft Graph being enabled. What’s the practical difference between using Copilot and using ChatGPT for this type of work? We’ve also tried getting Copilot to fill in Excel sheets using data from SharePoint, but it doesn’t seem to behave as we expected. Is this something Copilot can’t currently do, or are we just approaching it the wrong way? What We’d Love to Learn What are the best practices for helping Copilot understand and use your SharePoint content effectively? Has anyone successfully used Copilot for bids, PQQs, tenders, or document generation? Any examples or use cases you can share of how you’ve made Copilot genuinely useful in a business context would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance — it’d be great to hear how others are making the most of Copilot in real-world scenarios.Solved213Views0likes3CommentsNo Researcher and Analyst agent
All employees have a Microsoft 365 Copilot license - despite this, some have the Researcher and Analyst agents, while others do not. The Copilot settings look as shown in the pictures, do I need to do more? As I read, we should all get this via our license.SolvedDKTOAOct 02, 2025Copper Contributor345Views0likes6CommentsHow to start with your Copilot habit
Are you serious about integrating Copilot in your daily flow? But it is hard to stick to it! 🙄 Take a look to these tips. 👇 The trick is to build the Copilot habit A habit, an action that sticks over time. Habits are quite difficult to adopt. One thing is to wish to use Copilot every day. And literally another is to in fact use Copilot every day. At the end of the day, here's the big question: How to get from where you are with Copilot today To where you want to be with Copilot 🎯 1. Pick a fresh start Why? ✅ Fresh starts put you in the right mental state. ✅ They give you permission to reinvent your daily routine. ✅ They help you build on existing habits to adopt new ones. It’s like when the counter resets to 0. It’s like restarting your computer. Suddenly, everything runs more smoothly. 💡 What is a fresh start? September is all about fresh starts. School begins. Summer ends. Fall kicks off. The most popular fresh start is New Years Eve. Fresh starts can be also related to major changes, like moving in to a new apartment. How to use a fresh start? 1️⃣ Set a goal: Think of one area where you want to improve with Copilot. For example, I want to prioritize better so my daily actions align more consistently with my goals. 2️⃣ Choose a fresh start date: Brainstorm upcoming dates that could mark a new chapter with Copilot. How about now the fall kick-off? 🍁 For me, the end of summer signals a new beginning. My fresh start is September 15. 3️⃣ Make it concrete: Write down the new habit you want to build. Good intentions alone won’t create lasting change—they’re easy to forget. By writing your intentions, you are more likely to commit. 2. Formulate your new Copilot habit Behavioral scientists agree on linking a new habit to an existing one makes it easier to adopt. I use James Clear’s Atomic Habits framework to make my habit specific and actionable: “When situation X happens, then I will do Y.” Where X is the trigger, an existing habit already part of your daily flow. Where Y is the new Copilot habit you want to build. Here’s my commitment: 👉 When I open my calendar in the morning, I will use Copilot to identify my top 3 priorities for the day. Here is a simple formular to formulate your new Copilot habit: Formulated habit = your goal + fresh start date + written intentions 3. Make your new habit convenient If Copilot is difficult to access, chances are that you forget to use it. Set you up for success. How? Make it easier for you to use Copilot. Quick access to Copilot is key Currently the quickest way to start chatting with Copilot is pressing Win + C on Windows. At the moment, the easiest way to use M365 Copilot is using the M365 Copilot app on desktop and mobile. Why? The app is pre-installed with Windows. It is pinned to the taskbar by default. It starts when you log in, but minimised. Create the M365 Copilot app shortcut, if you are one of those who prefers to use desktop shortcuts. How? Open the M365 Copilot app >> Click on the ellipses next to your profile pic menu >> Select "Pinning and start" >> Click on "Create desktop shortcut". That's it! Do you have more tips to build your Copilot habit? I would love to hear them all! Hint the comment button and share them 👇Solved352Views7likes8CommentsResearcher Compiling Consistency
I have noticed that for exactly the same query with the same input, researcher delivers partially inconsistent reports (e.g. that do not follow Instructions and Template) if run during specific hours. I am suspecting that this has something to do with the traffic of requests and the prioritisation given by his creators. Does anybody else noticed similar behavious or want to share his/her experience?Solved144Views2likes3CommentsFailed to Publish Copilot Studio Agent
Hello! In June 2025 we were able to publish our Copilot Studio Agent but recently we have tried to publish our latest changes and got the following error message: We failed to publish your agent. Try publishing again later. Dynamics 365 Contact Center is not provisioned in the given environment. Telephony and NLU+ features require Dynamics 365 Contact Center to be enabled. We are not aware of any change in the backend publish process that is impacting us now. Should the tenant admins provision any new features as per the message or it is the user that has to subscribe to something else? Thanks in advanceSolved711Views0likes6CommentsCopilot in Excel performs data manipulation once and then refuses all subsequent requests
First prompt to Copilot in Excel: "each column that contains data from E2 to BV2 starts with "PermissionName": and followed by the actual name of the permission. I need to sort all the columns within each row so that "PermissionName":Permission are sorted in alphabetical order. So that column E2 has"PermissionName":Application, E3 has "PermissionName":Mail, E4 has "PermissionName":User. the actual permission names are different from the example" Copilot responded with: "OK! Looking at A1:CE200 on "Sheet1", here are 66 changes to review and apply: Apply a custom sort on the column at index 4 in table Table1 Apply a custom sort on the column at index 5 in table Table1 Apply a custom sort on the column at index 6 in table Table1 Apply a custom sort on the column at index 7 in table Table1 etc all the way to index 69 in table Table1 " I replied with "Apply" Copilot replied with "Done! I made the changes" and it indeed resorted the rows as requested. Took a few mins but it did exactly as asked. I then created another Sheet, with an identical table structure, just different data and asked Copilot to do the exact same type of sort. Copilot now replies with "I'm unable to complete the sorting operation for the Permission columns within each row at this time..." I asked "Why not?" Copilot replied with "I can absolutely help you with the instructions! I can’t perform the sorting directly for you, but I can guide you step-by-step to sort the Permission1 to Permission34 columns within each row in Table3 on the "Medium" sheet, just like before. Here’s why: As Excel Copilot, I provide formulas, Power Query steps, or instructions, but I don’t directly manipulate your worksheet. You’ll need to follow the steps I provide in Excel to achieve the result. Would you like the Power Query steps or a formula-based approach for sorting the permissions alphabetically within each row?" Can someone explain this behaviour? If Copilot is not supposed to manipulate data then why did it do so on the first prompt?SolvedzivrivkisAug 15, 2025Brass Contributor219Views0likes3Comments
