Best practices for giving Copilot M365 large files (PDF, Excel and Word)
Hello everyone, I want to know if there are any best practices for delivering good summaries for large files while working with Copilot. I have tried to do summaries from PDFs with Copilot in Word...
- For scenarios where the entire document context is needed for Copilot to provide answer, a couple of good rules of thumb on the length of the document you provide to Copilot:
1.Shorter than 20 pages: Try to keep the length of the document you refer to under 20 pages. This is a comfortable length for Copilot to handle.
2.Around 15,000 words or less: For those who love word counts, aim to stay at or below 15,000 words. This is a sweet spot for Copilot to work effectively.
Here are some ways that you can use longer documents with Copilot:
1.Break It Down: If you have a long document, consider splitting it into smaller documents and providing them to Copilot separately. This way, Copilot can handle each part effectively.
2.Summarize in Parts: For long reports or manuscripts, you can try summarizing them in chunks with Copilot. Today you can do that by copying/pasting chunks into separate documents and summarizing sections separately. This helps Copilot to give you more precise and relevant responses.
