how to more effectively access the contents of multiple files
Hi,
I'm very new to the usage of copilot agents, so there may not be a technical answer as I might be missing a concept.
I have a sharepoint site with 100+ small documents and I have created a simple agent with the top level folder of those documents for a source. I would like copilot to give me some analysis across all of the documents. To be specific, we have 100+ "Root Cause Analysis" documents and I want to look for themes across those documents.
However Copilot only seems to look at maybe 5 of those documents and not the whole set.
Am I misunderstanding the capabilities? Should I be approaching this differently?
Some community guidens is appreciated.
Regards

Hello IanK , Thanks for your question. The new feature called reasoning agents could help you. Here's the MS Mechanics video about New reasoning agent: New reasoning agents: Researcher and Analyst in Microsoft 365 Copilot
I have created a Copilot agent that retrieves its knowledge from 12 files saved on a SharePoint library. It works very well.Can you ask it explicityly to look with prompts, so maybe like "How many documents have X root cause" or other prompts to force it to look across to get an answer. "Count how many documents reference Y"
Just checking in on this question
