Copilot Agent inside SharePoint site is not able to answer questions regarding the custom columns
Unfortunately, Copilot will look at the content in the document, but not the metadata columns. It likes headers and headings. And it will always know the account that created the file and the account that last modified the file. Maybe try to add your metadata as document properties inside your Word doc.

Kelly_EdingerThanks for the reply. not sure what you mean by "try to add metadata as document properties"? are not SharePoint custom columns mapped automatically inside office documents? i were able to fix this by creating a power automate flow to get those custom metadata, but i am open to other suggestions..

Power Automate is a great solution. I was referring to an old school approach of using Document Properties in the Word document - overkill at this point since you got it working.
