Sensitivity Labels vs. Copilot Creating an AI Policy That Honors Information Protection (MIP)
As organizations embrace Microsoft Copilot to accelerate productivity and creativity, a new challenge emerges: how do we ensure that AI-generated summaries, emails, and documents continue to respect corporate information protection policies? Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) provides the foundation for classifying and securing data with sensitivity labels—but when Copilot starts creating content, that foundation needs reinforcement. The key question is: how do we make sure Copilot understands and applies those same labels correctly? Let’s unpack how MIP and Copilot interact, where the risks lie, and how to build an AI policy that keeps sensitive data protected without slowing down innovation. https://dellenny.com/sensitivity-labels-vs-copilot-creating-an-ai-policy-that-honors-information-protection-mip/The Copilot Impact Report Turning Usage Telemetry into Actionable Governance Insights
When organizations adopt Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365, the initial focus often centers on usage metrics — MAU (Monthly Active Users), DAU (Daily Active Users), and overall engagement trends. These metrics are essential for understanding adoption, but they only scratch the surface of what’s possible with Microsoft’s built-in Copilot telemetry. The real opportunity lies beyond raw usage. With the right interpretation, Copilot usage data can uncover governance blind spots, highlight training needs, and guide data protection efforts — turning telemetry into a powerful decision-making tool for IT, compliance, and business leaders alike. https://dellenny.com/the-copilot-impact-report-turning-usage-telemetry-into-actionable-governance-insights/Litigation Hold in Seconds Using Copilot to Identify Relevant Communication Threads
In modern enterprises, the volume and velocity of digital communication have made litigation response a complex and resource-intensive process. When a legal hold is triggered, organizations must rapidly identify, preserve, and manage all potentially relevant data—spanning emails, Teams chats, SharePoint content, and OneDrive files. With Microsoft Copilot Chat, organizations can now operationalize this process in seconds—leveraging the Microsoft 365 data fabric to surface relevant communication threads with precision and compliance alignment. https://dellenny.com/litigation-hold-in-seconds-using-copilot-to-identify-relevant-communication-threads/Outlook Gets AI Drafting of Meeting Agendas
Agenda auto-draft is a new feature for OWA and the new Outlook to help meeting organizers create a draft meeting agenda using AI. The Copilot-generated draft agenda contains an introduction and some bullet points created from the meeting subject. It’s not a make-or-break feature for Microsoft 365 Copilot. Some will like it, if they discover how to use agenda auto-draft. https://office365itpros.com/2025/10/17/agenda-auto-draft/

AyudaAuditing the AI How to Use the Copilot Interaction Export API for Compliance Logs
The integration of Microsoft Copilot across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem introduces a new class of data — AI-generated and AI-assisted interactions — that must be governed with the same rigor as traditional enterprise information assets. To maintain auditability and meet regulatory obligations, organizations can leverage the Copilot Interaction Export API to extract, preserve, and analyze user-AI exchange data for compliance, security, and post-incident review. https://dellenny.com/auditing-the-ai-how-to-use-the-copilot-interaction-export-api-for-compliance-logs/Copilot for SysAdmins Automating PowerShell Script Generation from Plain English Prompts
For years, IT administrators have relied on PowerShell to automate everything from user provisioning to tenant maintenance. But writing and debugging those scripts can be tedious, especially when the task involves multiple steps, complex logic, or integration with Microsoft 365, Azure AD, or on-prem Active Directory. Now, with GitHub Copilot Chat, sysadmins can skip the boilerplate and go straight to automation. By describing a task in plain English, Copilot can generate ready-to-run PowerShell scripts — and even help you refine, explain, or troubleshoot them in real time. https://dellenny.com/copilot-for-sysadmins-automating-powershell-script-generation-from-plain-english-prompts/Pre-Flight Check The 5 Non-Negotiable SharePoint Cleanups Before Deploying Copilot
Microsoft 365 Copilot is only as good as the data it can reach. Before you let this powerful assistant loose in your SharePoint environment, it’s crucial to make sure your data foundation is clean, secure, and well-governed. Think of it as a pre-flight checklist — a series of must-do cleanups to ensure your Copilot deployment takes off smoothly. Here are the five non-negotiable SharePoint cleanups every organization should complete before deploying Copilot. https://dellenny.com/pre-flight-check-the-5-non-negotiable-sharepoint-cleanups-before-deploying-copilot/
usage reporting for shared agents (created in teams with agent builder) not possible
Dear all, in my organisations I have a vivid community of Copilot users that create agents in teams (with agent builder) and share them amongst other users. Those agents are also visible then in the admin center in the Copilot section as category "Shared" which works as expected. When I now try to understand what agents are used the most I go to the Copilot usage report (Reports -> M365 Copilot -> Copilot -> Agent details), I see a list of agents with active user information. However only App ID (no names and no external App ID) without a name. my questions: I am wondering what agents are shown here. Because I have about 100 shared agents and this reports has only a small number of agents listed I tried all the suggested things (in the guides)to get a name for the App ID (through teams managed Apps list, entra app list etc.) but was not successful to get a clear name for those App ID Is there any way to geht a usage report for shared agents (we do not use Copilot studio at the moment) Many thanks for your thoughts and helps..I feel we are at a dead end at the moment and the recent anouncments did not yet convince me that then we can report shared agent usage... kind regardsFrom Fear to Function Using Copilot to Bridge the Digital Skills Gap in Your Workforce
In every organization, there’s a familiar divide: those who are fluent in technology and those who approach it with hesitation. The digital skills gap isn’t just a problem of access—it’s a problem of confidence. As tools become more sophisticated, employees who feel “left behind” can experience anxiety about automation, coding, and even basic data tasks. But what if the same technology that once intimidated could now empower? Enter Copilot—an AI-powered assistant that turns digital fear into functional capability. https://dellenny.com/from-fear-to-function-using-copilot-to-bridge-the-digital-skills-gap-in-your-workforce/The ‘Digital Twin’ Employee Creating Hyper-Personalized Copilot Prompts with Copilot Studio

Limitation of Copilot agent development in M365 developer tenants
I am using a M365 developer subscription and have hit a wall trying to develop a functioning Copilot agent. I was able to sign up for Copilot Studio trial license. This enables creation of M365 Copilot agent with knowledge held in SharePoint lists. However, not having 'Semantic Index' is a severe limitation that defeats the purpose of developer subscription. The agent being unable to use 'Enhance SharePoint Search' setting aka 'Semantic Index' aka vector embeddings means the agent is basically dumb and not an intelligent AI agent. After some research, I discovered the tenant needs at least one M365 Copilot license to enable 'semantic index'. To get my Copilot agent built, I decided to invest in this expensive license and then discovered a developer agent can neither have M365 Copilot or PAYG metered license. What this all means is that 'M365 developer subscription CANNOT be used to build a Copilot agent grounded in data in SharePoint'. You may be able to create a dumb agent with web search. A note that the agent I was building was not for a commercial customer. It was for my learning. By creating a proper agent, I will be able to showcase it in a YouTube video with the hope that some client somewhere may find it useful enough to pay for me as well as pay for Microsoft licensing, a win-win. I guess I will have to increase my investment fund, and sign-up for 'M365 Production Tenant + M365 Prod License Business or Enterprise + M365 Copilot + M365 Copilot Studio'. Seems like this type of development is a luxury only few could afford. Just thought to share as this may be useful for others trying to do the same.M&A Due Diligence in Minute Copilot Chat’s Power to Cross-Reference Disparate Data Silo
In high-stakes M&A, every minute counts—and every missed clause or mismatched figure can have million-dollar consequences. Traditionally, due diligence means long nights of toggling between contracts, spreadsheets, and correspondence scattered across OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. Now, with Copilot Chat, that manual grind becomes a seamless, insight-driven conversation. https://dellenny.com/ma-due-diligence-in-minute-copilot-chats-power-to-cross-reference-disparate-data-silo/The Art of Delegating to AI A New Prompting Mindset for Knowledge Workers
AI isn’t just another tool on your desktop — it’s a new kind of colleague. One that never sleeps, learns from context, and can execute complex workflows with astonishing precision — if you know how to delegate properly. Yet most knowledge workers still talk to AI the way they talk to search engines: with short, shallow commands like “summarize this” or “write an email.” That’s not delegation — that’s task automation. To unlock AI’s real value, we need a behavioral shift — a new way of thinking about how we communicate our goals, constraints, and expectations. Microsoft calls this prompt engineering. But in practice, it’s closer to something more familiar: management. https://dellenny.com/the-art-of-delegating-to-ai-a-new-prompting-mindset-for-knowledge-workers/Measuring the Un-Done Work Calculating the ROI of Microsoft 365 Copilot
When we talk about productivity gains, we often focus on what gets done. More meetings completed, more reports generated, more lines of code written. But with AI tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot, the real story isn’t only about doing more — it’s about doing less of what doesn’t matter. In other words, the ROI of Copilot comes not just from the tasks completed faster, but from the tasks that never had to be done at all. https://dellenny.com/measuring-the-un-done-work-calculating-the-roi-of-microsoft-365-copilot/Copilot Connector with Windows, Google Drive
Copilot in Windows now allow connections with Google Drive, Google Calendar and Google Contacts. It also allows connection with personal accounts of Outlook and OneDrive. You can now get insights and prompt Copilot based on these connections. You can test it out and give feedback to Microsoft to further improve Copilot's connection with third-party applications.

When organizations adopt generative AI, the first question that arises isn’t “What can it do?” but rather “What can it see?” In the age of large language models, protecting corporate data is paramount. Microsoft Copilot’s integration with Microsoft Purview and Microsoft Graph forms an invisible shield around your data — ensuring that every response respects your organization’s existing security and compliance boundaries. This isn’t just about powerful features. It’s about responsible access — and making sure that AI never sees what users shouldn’t. https://dellenny.com/copilots-invisible-shield-leveraging-purview-graph-to-control-generative-ai-risk/Prompt Injection Protection How Microsoft 365 Copilot Defends Against Jailbreak Attacks
As AI assistants become deeply embedded in productivity tools like Microsoft 365, new forms of security risks have emerged — and among the most insidious is prompt injection. These attacks aim to manipulate a large language model (LLM) into ignoring its safety rules or corporate boundaries, often referred to as “jailbreaks.” While most blog posts about Copilot focus on features and productivity gains, it’s time for a deep dive into the security architecture that keeps Microsoft 365 Copilot safe, compliant, and resilient against these evolving threats. https://dellenny.com/prompt-injection-protection-how-microsoft-365-copilot-defends-against-jailbreak-attacks/Beyond Compliance Using Copilot to Automate GDPR and HIPAA Reporting from Teams and Outlook
In today’s data-driven workplace, legal and compliance teams face a constant balancing act: staying ahead of complex regulations like GDPR and HIPAA while managing the sheer volume of communication data flowing through Microsoft Teams and Outlook. Every chat message, email thread, and shared document can contain personal or protected information—making manual reporting and redaction nearly impossible to sustain. Enter Copilot for Microsoft 365. Beyond its productivity benefits, Copilot is rapidly becoming a powerful ally for compliance automation—helping organizations move beyond compliance checkboxes and toward proactive, data-aware governance. https://dellenny.com/beyond-compliance-using-copilot-to-automate-gdpr-and-hipaa-reporting-from-teams-and-outlook/
