Allow new line on Enter / CTRL-Enter to submit instead of Enter submits
Allow ENTER to give a new line and CTRL-ENTER to submit in the Microsoft Copilot 365 desktop app in Windows/Copilot in all Microsoft Office applications. (Third time posting this as both previous attempts mysteriously vanished with no reason/explanation given. So this time it's just the TL;DR from the removed posts. If it survives, I'll add more commentary.)Microsoft 365 & Co-pilot, getting started
Hi, my company has recently given me a co-pilot license to see how I can utilise this in Excel. I am trying to do some simple exercises to get familiar with the product. I have a small table of data and I am asking co-pilot to do basic things like add a total at the bottom, colour a cell green etc. Each time I give it an instruction, it is creating a new spreadsheet to download instead of giving me the option to 'apply' the change to existing worksheet. I have ensured that the autosave is turned on and I am on share drive. I'm not sure why this isn't working and wondered if anyone can help me with this issue?
CoPilot Agents - Word Tables
Hi, We have been trying to create a CoPilot agent within the business that can read data in a referenced folder within SharePoint and output a summary. Now the prompt I'm using works perfectly when using the "Researcher" agent within CoPilot, but when I use it in the agent the output is very different. For added context. I have made a SharePoint site which has a folder for each project and then all the docs relating to that project within. The user says to the agent, "give me a project overview for QXXXX", what should happen is, the agent finds that folder, which it's seemingly doing and it provides all the info in the layout I've mentioned in the prompt. So it can find the right folder, and it gives a good overview of the project. But any information that's within a table in word, it doesn't retrieve, I've even told it what document has the content in the table it should be bringing back and it says it can't read tables in Word. When I've researched this it seems to be the way CoPilot interprets the data is different depending whether you upload the file or just reference it like my agent is doing. Then in Researcher alternatively, I copy and paste the prompt into the text box, attach cloud files and select the project folder and the output is perfect. It retrieves all the content, dates etc and it's exactly what we need. My aim was to make an agent that can do the same but doesn't require the user to attach the folder, they can just give it the project number and it does it's thing. I'm still pretty new to agents, and appreciate it's still slightly new, but it doesn't feel like it should be doing that. Would anyone with some expertise in agents be able to assist in me fixing this? And if possible, be available via email for me to ask some further questions? Happy to provide any further information if needed. Thanks
Copilot Chat in Word, Excel, etc but not in Outlook
I have an issue where Copilot Chat is available in all Office applications except Outlook. Environment: Windows 11 24H2 Microsoft 365 Microsoft® Outlook® for Microsoft 365 MSO Version 2510 (Build 16.0.19328.20266) 32-bit In Outlook, I can see the Copilot button, but the Chat experience is not available. I only see options like Reply and Summarize when an email is selected. Additionally, right after starting Outlook, the Copilot button is briefly visible, then it disappears again and only reappears once an email is selected. Why is the Copilot Chat not available in Outlook, while it works in all other Office applications?Incomplete ansers in code boxes
Lately, Copilot gives me more an more incomplete one line commands in code boxes. I often get an empty code box as well. When telling copilot to fix this, the next answer will contain the complete and correct commands. I would expect copilot not to make such errors. I usually tell copilot to check the ansers before presenting to me. My prompting is surely not perfect, but it seems to me that this is more a cache or buffer problem. Anyone has experienced similar issues? Is there a solution? Examples: I get blockdev --getsize64 the correct answer would be blockdev --getsize64 /dev/drbd3 copilot corrects this when I tell it to check it's output. Another example, I get: xfs_growfs /var/lib/lxc/smb/rootfs/home df -h /var/lib/lxc Correct answer would be xfs_growfs /var/lib/lxc/smb/rootfs/home df -h /var/lib/lxc/smb/rootfs/home Another one: blockdev --getsize64 /dev/dr Correct would be: blockdev --getsize64 /dev/drbd3What’s new in Copilot Chat quality roadmap — December

Здравствуйте, коллеги. При генерации изображений в Copilot результат часто отсутствует, даже при простых промптах. Вместо картинки возвращается пустой ответ. Ожидаемое поведение: Изображение должно быть создано либо должен появиться отчёт о причине сбоя. Фактическое поведение: Изображение не создаётся, возвращается пустой ответ. Предложение: Если изображение не сгенерировано из‑за ошибки, нужно указывать причину и предлагать решение. Например: Если модель не поняла формулировку промпта. Если формулировки вступают в конфликт друг с другом. В таких случаях пользователь должен быть информирован и получить подсказку, как исправить запрос. Это позволит экономить время и использовать Copilot в профессиональных сценарияхNo-Code AI: How Non-Developers Can Build Smart Chatbots with Copilot Studio

Proposal: Exploring User-Centric Improvements for Copilot
Please note that I do not speak English, and this text was written with the help of Microsoft Copilot. Hello, I would like to share some feedback about Microsoft 365 Copilot. I believe Copilot could be improved by making it more user‑centric. For example, it would be helpful if Copilot could adapt its responses to reflect the user’s writing style, adjust its tone depending on context, and provide answers that feel more personalized. Such improvements would make Copilot not only more effective but also more natural to use in different scenarios. Is there any plan to explore these kinds of user‑focused enhancements in future updates? Thank you!

Feature Request: Add Search Functionality in Copilot Chat History
Hi everyone, I’d like to suggest a feature for Microsoft Copilot that I believe would significantly improve usability and productivity: searching within chat history. Currently, users cannot search past conversations inside Copilot. This makes it difficult to retrieve previous answers, references, or technical instructions—especially in long or complex chats. Adding a search bar or keyword filter would allow users to quickly locate relevant messages without scrolling manually. This feature would be especially helpful for developers, IT professionals, and anyone using Copilot for technical troubleshooting or documentation. It would also reduce repeated questions and improve continuity across sessions. Please consider adding this capability in future updates. If others agree, feel free to upvote or share your use cases.
