Copilot not able to see SharePoint lists
No matter how I try to prompt, Copilot seems to not know about the existence of SharePoint lists (it doesn't talk about them when asked or pull any information from them when asked a very targeted prompt). Is there anything that needs to be configured to make this possible or is it just a bug?
Thanks for any insight.
We're also running into frustrations not being able to query info in SharePoint lists.
Is there any work around/solution while this is resolved by MSFT?
- Right now I only think CoPilot has access to data that is stored in OneDrive
- I have come to the same conclusion. Been prompting Copilot to provide answers where it should have pulled information from a specific SharePoint list. It appears to not have any of the data in the SharePoint list in its semantic index.
DerekEtnyre414 do we have any when Microsoft may alleviate this issue? I can go and find out, if possible, but I have customers that are experiencing the exact same issue and it's beyond frustrating. Has anyone come up with a workaround?
- Having the same experience. Wikis for example are fine but with lists Copilot returns "I'm sorry, but I couldn't find any information about...."
- I couldn't even request a summary of a Microsoft Lists List in one of our Teams channels. Simply said, that it couldn't find any list in the specified channel. Frustrating.
I have the feeling, that the courses and resources about Copilot show functionalities of Copilot, which are not possible as shown. - I am also wondering if Microsoft is going to fix this. We keep quite a bit of information in lists like our Acronyms and Content Management so right now, I can't ask copilot who manages what content because it can't see that. Seems like a big miss!!
