Copilot Notebook feature
Does anyone have more information and/or insight on the Copilot Notebook feature? I've seen it appear for me in various Copilot instances (Copilot personal, Copilot w/ commercial data protection, and M365 Chat) but it seems to come and go.
I can't say I've dug super deep yet, but this is all I found on the web for it: Bing tests new "Notebook" interface for Copilot: live prompt results - MSPoweruser
I'd love to understand more things like:
- In what Copilot instances will it officially show up?
- When will all users get it?
- What are some of the benefits/additional capabilities of this experience?
Chandler Milne I'm curious about this too. The notebook feature is great for testing out prompts. I wish there was at least some consistency: I've had it appear one week and then it's gone the next.
Chandler Milne Thanks for the questions. I too would like to know. While using it for the past 48 hours for generative AI, I found it very useful. It disappeared 5 minutes ago and I can't get it back 😢
Hi Chandler Milne,
The advantages are :
- Extended Character Limit: from 4000 to 18 000 (useful for comparing texts).
- Prompt Refinement: It is easily to modify prompts to achieve the desired outcomes.
Cons:
- Have to choose the conversation type before selecting NOTEBOOK.
- Only available for the Web, not Work:
Kind regards,
Thanks Andre - while this is helpful, this doesn't clarify the inconsistency of when and for whom it appears. Microsoft has left a lot to be desired in terms of detail and information.
Andre_Caron you've listed some negatives there (the having to pick between work or web) but when I was using - it in the limited time it showed up on the devices in our workplace - we actually didn't have this option, it just functioned very much like the Bing.com chat (now copilot).
Could it be that you only have Web available because you're not signed into a work account? I would have thought it was Bing Enterprise if you were on work.
HiBA_Max,
I used my work account.
(The NOTEBOOK option is not available to me this Monday morning... long weekend! I think that Copilot is deployed in Agile mode...

- Microsoft Copilot is an intelligent code completion tool that assists developers in writing code more efficiently. While it doesn’t have a specific feature called “Copilot Notebook,” it does offer several powerful capabilities:
Code Suggestions: Copilot provides context-aware code suggestions as you type, helping you complete lines of code, functions, and entire blocks.
Code Generation: It generates code snippets based on natural language descriptions or comments. For example, if you write a comment like “Create a function that sorts an array,” Copilot can generate the relevant code.
Language Support: Copilot supports various programming languages, including Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, and more.
Collaboration: You can collaborate with Copilot by discussing code ideas, and it will provide relevant code snippets.
Learning from Context: Copilot learns from your coding style and adapts to your preferences over time.
Integrated with IDEs: Copilot integrates seamlessly with popular code editors like Visual Studio Code.frankfalvey The code completion aspect works really well but that isn't it's only capability. You mentioned there is no specific 'Copilot Notebook'; there definitely is.
