Copilot for Microsoft 365 limitations with document size
Hey, I'm trying to understand what the limitations with files size within Copilot for M365 are. For example, when I ask to summarize a very large file, I'm not sure what is the size limit in terms ...
There isn't a documented limit on the total file size Copilot can handle, but there is a limit on the prompt itself. You can only type up to 2,000 characters when giving Copilot instructions.
Behind the scenes, Copilot likely focuses on the beginning of the document for summaries and might not analyze the entire file if it's very large.
Creating Documents from Other Documents:
This feature is currently in a limited test phase.
For users with a free trial, the upload limit is 1 MB with a maximum of 5 uploads per day.
For licensed users, the limit is increased to 10 MB per file with unlimited uploads, but with a total daily upload limit of 2 GB.
Unfortunately, there aren't any official resources with specific file size limitations for summarizing large documents.
