Copilot Notebooks chat and file creation
Hi, prullman Copilot Notebooks currently save files to a temporary sandbox path (sandbox:/mnt/data/), which isn’t accessible via OneDrive or standard M365 storage. To keep things organized, use Word or PPT directly with Copilot, or copy notebook content manually into a saved document. Microsoft may improve this workflow soon—keep an eye on updates.
This is becoming dangerous! I have to keep rewriting training documentation on functionalities. From one moment to the next, I'm having to second guess Microsoft's dev. SaaS, sure - but this is beyond beta-testing! My training content is never trustworthy! I have evidenced Excel analysis via Analyst and via Notebook, perfectly. Now, less than a week later, the product is useless and returns a sandboxed visualisation path that is inaccessible! Why are we paying for that!? Not fit for purpose and costing us a fortune in re-trainings! PS: Word and PPT are not the only fruits! Analyst and Notebook are supposed to number crunch and now, whether they do or not, the completions are unfathomable, as the sandboxing secretes them somewhere inaccessible!! Pointless and, I imagine, part of a redesign that we're all paying to be an extension of MS dev beta-testing. We have day jobs! Oh, I see - OneNote Notebook has now been redev'd to include links to Copilot's Notebooks. And OneNote Copilot now surfaces (wrongly) not a completion to my prompt, but a Search for content within my ecosystem! Again - wrong behaviour. I think this is dangerous off the cuff SaaS agile implementation!
