OneNote files not being indexed by Copilot for M365
Based on my tests Copilot for M365 does not seem to be indexing onenote files and yet based on this article onenote files should already be within the scope of what is being indexed. Can you clarify what is the behavior to be expected now and if support for onenote files is to be yet released and what is the GA estimated date?
I have the same issue. I take meeting notes and analysis notes in OneNote and then Copilot is not able to reference them. Is there a way of turning this on, or has Microsoft not implemented the ability for Copilot to index OneNote?
It's a strange omission because I can use copilot within OneNote to search OneNote. But using CoPilot "Work" in any other tool or in a browser fails to find any OneNote content.
My experience so far: if you use the SharePoint Agent for the site that holds the notebook (may not be released to your tenant / account yet) it will return OneNote results. Otherwise, you have to be in the OneNote app, and you have to be VERY specific about where to look for your info. It will search across all your open notebooks, sections, pages unless you point it to a specific location. Like you, I am frustrated that I can't access them from other copilot locations.
