Copilot in MSWord - "Reference a File" button
Hi everyone Using Copilot in MSWord and I want to reference a different MSWord file (saved in the cloud and recently used). However, I only ever get presented with a short list like in the image...
if you use the / you should be able to search the files by filename. I am not sure what drives the 3 files but a number of people have requested a better experience. It seems like this is the new way Microsoft want us to find files but there still needs to be the classic explorer view or at least the ability to jump to a better search experience.
Thanks Graham - This works when I start typing the name in it gives me more/ relevant in documents so that's great. Thanks!
Same problem here: when you search for a document which is on the desktop (and is synchronized with the Cloud) it doesn't appear in the search box.
Anyway I am not as lucky as you because even if I type the file name after the / I am unable to find it in the search box (this happened both in MSWord and in MSPowerPoint).
Furthermore, if I change something in a file which appears in the list of files in the Copilot search box, the new version of the file is not taken into account by Copilot which still refers to the old version of it.
