Great referenceAmeliaHernandez - there are so many changes, it seems like you and Teresa_Cyrus (as well as so many of us) will continue to watch the roadmap and what’s rolled out/showing up and follow along as the changes come to the products we’re using daily! Keep up the great work
From what I can see, even in the Basic version you now get access to work files. That is, it shows up for me in the list of the most recent documents I worked on.

Hi PK3 , thanks for sharing! I can confirm: On my Business Standard Test user which has Copilot Chat basic, Copilot suggests prompts based on files that were recently edited. Just like you showed in your screenshot.
While using / Copilot Chat (Basic) shows a list of files and allow m to search. Copilot Chat (Premium) shows tabs with categories like files/people/events and more.
The pic shows Copilot Chat (Basic) current behavior.
