Copilot doesn't index documents of another org in the company
Issue is that I want to use copilot for the same functionality of sharepoint.
Before I start working on a slide deck, for story telling, I'm checking if there is already work done on that topic. And if so, can I repurpose those slides?
Copilot does not index documents other than the professionals in your hierarchy tree.

You're right, Copilot's limitation of indexing documents within your team's hierarchy can be frustrating when searching for company-wide information. Here's how you can approach finding existing slide decks on your topic and explore alternatives within Copilot:
Utilizing Copilot for Your Team
Broader Search Terms: Try using broader search terms within Copilot to see if related documents or presentations emerge. For instance, instead of "Sales Presentation," search for "Sales" or "Sales Pipeline."
Internal Knowledge Sharing: If you find relevant slides within your team's Copilot, consider starting a knowledge-sharing practice. You can create a central repository within Copilot for commonly used presentations or templates. This can benefit future colleagues working on similar topics.
By combining these approaches, you can increase your chances of finding existing slides and leverage Copilot's strengths for your team. - Copilot will return information only from the sources for which the user have access to, like SharePoint files, OneDrive etc. So, if Copilot is not returning then check whether the user has access. Also, it cannot index other organization's data.
