Problem to attach documents

Hello, i would like to have a document (PDF) summarized by the Copilot. However, when I want to select this file, it is not displayed. How can I add any file to Copilot?

I'm Copilot Pro user and i tried ist in copilot.microsoft.com and in Word.
There ist no possibility to open files except the files Microsoft shows by itself.

MrUnwissend,

In the copilot prompt, I type the /[filename] where [filename] is the complete name of the file including the extension, no path, no square brackets like /yourdocument.pdf. Even if it doesn't show up, Copilot will retrieve the file from OneDrive. Of course, the file must be saved in your OneDrive.

I hope this helps, kind regards,

  I am Copilot Pro user with a Microsoft 365 Family subscription.
  
  There is no way to reference documents with "/". Does that work for you now? This is actually THE feature that prompted me to order Copilot Pro.
  
  Thank you for your answers.
  Best Regards
  Andreas

    mande1191 yes every thing works fine now. But I'm using Microsoft Copilot for O365 (Businessaccount).
