Propuesta: Modo Profesional para proyectos largos en Microsoft 365 Copilot
PROPUESTA: MODO PROFESIONAL PARA PROYECTOS LARGOS EN MICROSOFT 365 COPILOT Por Matías Hola, soy Matías. Trabajo integrando la IA en proyectos narrativos, técnicos y organizativos de largo plazo. Copilot no es para mí solo un asistente: es una parte fundamental de mi proceso creativo diario. Lo utilizo para estructurar proyectos complejos, escribir documentación extensa, diseñar sistemas e ideas, organizar tareas y manejar múltiples líneas de trabajo continuas. Por eso necesito que Copilot sea estable, persistente y confiable. PROBLEMA REAL Cuando Copilot se usa más allá de consultas breves, aparecen dificultades que afectan directamente la continuidad: Las conversaciones no quedan asociadas a proyectos. El hilo se fragmenta entre dispositivos. Si la ventana se refresca, se pierde parte del contexto. El progreso puede quedar desfasado entre PC, móvil y navegador. No existe un espacio organizado con materiales, notas o memoria persistente. Para un profesional, esto no es un detalle técnico: es una interrupción real del flujo de trabajo. EJEMPLO CONCRETO Mi día laboral combina PC en casa, móvil en el trabajo y laptop en movimiento. Cuando Copilot no sincroniza exactamente los estados entre dispositivos, termino con conversaciones incompletas, respuestas que no reflejan el trabajo previo, necesidad de reexplicar contexto y pérdida de ritmo creativo. Perder ritmo es perder claridad, productividad e incluso decisiones importantes de un proyecto. POR QUÉ ESTO ES NECESARIO Copilot está evolucionando rapidamente. Cada vez más usuarios integramos la IA no como curiosidad, sino como parte del oleoducto productivo. Como cualquier software profesional (IDE, gestor de tareas, editor, etc), Copilot necesita estabilidad, memoria persistente, continuidad y sincronización perfecta. No es un lujo. Es una necesidad diaria. PROPUESTA: MODO PROFESIONAL Un entorno mejorado pensado para proyectos serios y extensos, basado en tres puntos: Persistencia de proyectos Espacios que integren conversaciones, documentos, notas, memoria por proyecto y contexto permanente. Sincronización total Continuidad idéntica entre PC, portátil, navegador y aplicación móvil. Estabilidad reforzada Evitar refrescos automáticos, proteger mensajes largos, prevenir pérdida de contexto y garantizar que el progreso no se fragmente. CIERRE Copilot tiene el potencial de conversión en una herramienta central para la creatividad, la productividad y la construcción de proyectos modernos. Para lograrlo, necesaria ofrecer un entorno estable y persistente, pensado para quienes crean y trabajadores todos los días con IA. Ningún buscamos reemplazar al humano. Buscamos un espacio donde humano e IA puedan convivir de manea fluida, profesional y continua. Gracias por leer. — MatíasUsing Copilot in Loop Components for Seamless Collaboration

Create custom prompt in AI Builder to read scanned hardcopy receipts
I'm created a custom prompt in AI builder using GPT-5 chat model to read a one-page PDF file. This file contains multiple small receipts from neighborhood supermarkets and restaurants. When I tested the prompt and upload the file in AI builder, it cannot accurately read the invoice number of certain receipts. However, when I tested the Microsoft 365 Copilot using the same prompt, same file and same model (GPT-5 chat), it can accurately return me all the information that I need. May I know why AI Builder is unable to return the same accurate result as M365 Copilot, given that all inputs are the same? What adjustments should I make in AI Builder to accurately return all details from my one-page PDF file? Thank you.How do I automatically convert emails to tasks in Outlook using Copilot?

Microsoft Ignite 2025 wasn’t just another tech conference — it was a redefinition of the modern workplace. Instead of incremental upgrades and predictable product updates, Microsoft used the event to signal the beginning of a new era: an agent-driven, AI-first workplace where intelligent copilots, governed automation, and deeply connected data systems form the backbone of how organizations operate. From massive transformations in Microsoft 365 to the emergence of fully governed AI agents with their own identities, Ignite 2025 delivered a bold roadmap. In this blog, we unpack the biggest announcements and explore why they matter — not just for IT leaders or developers, but for anyone who uses technology to get work done. https://dellenny.com/microsoft-ignite-2025-the-dawn-of-the-ai-agent-era/
Change to Microsoft Admin Center for Agents
Is anyone else who is managing agents within their company now seeing that you cannot see the publisher who created the agent on the main page? I also attempted to export a list and thought it would make it easy to get a full list of users who have created agents, but when exported the fields are completely different and there is no column for publisher. Earlier this week I manually took note of all publishers because that field was still showing on the "All Agents" page (which took many hours) but since Monday the UI has completely changed and more agents are showing now so I have to start over. We are trying to start our governance process for agents and a note was meant to go out to leadership of who on their team is creating agents but now I have to start from scratch with no visibility to who is making agents unless I click into each individual agent. Does anyone have a workaround as to how I can pull the list of publishers with their names? I don't understand why this field was taken out of the view because it gives to way to see who is creating agents across our large organization. Any help would be very appreciated.

Using CoPilot for Shared Calendars
Hi - As an Administrative Assistant, I'm very excited about using CoPilot. At the moment, it's very limited for me because I cannot use it with the shared calendars I manage for others. I am really looking forward to being able to create an agent that will find events of based on categories in shared calendars. Is that something that is in the pipeline? It would greatly expand useability for those of us who spend our days in the calendar. Thank you.Stop Guessing Your Guide to Asking Copilot Questions About Your Spreadsheets
Let’s be honest—how many times have you opened an enormous Excel file and instantly felt your brain shut down a little? You know the insights are in there somewhere… the trend that matters, the weird outlier, the formula that will finally make the numbers make sense. But digging them out can feel like you need a data science degree—and two quiet hours with no interruptions. I’ve been there too. I’ve spent more mornings than I’d like to admit wrestling with complex VLOOKUPs or manually sorting through hundreds of comments. Exhausting, right? https://dellenny.com/stop-guessing-your-guide-to-asking-copilot-questions-about-your-spreadsheets/
Microsoft 365 Copilot License for Small Business Question
Hi! I'm the Global Admin for Microsoft 365 for a small company. Recently the CEO wanted to try Microsoft 365 Copilot(not the chat!) and I purchased a license for him. No one else have a license, not even me. So I purchased the license and assign it to him through the admin portal. So far he hasn't been able to use anything else but the chat. What am I missing here? I 've been checking settings and such and everything seems right. Any advice?
Copilot Sparkle in Excel missing
