Unexpected forced‑citation behavior in Copilot (making minutes from transcript)
Hi everyone, I’d like to raise a problem I encountered recently when using Copilot for meeting‑minutes generation. I’m curious whether others are seeing the same behavior, and whether this is an int...
Yes, this is a known behaviour and others are seeing it too. Copilot now automatically adds citations whenever it uses uploaded files or transcripts. This seems to be part of Microsoft’s transparency features. The best ways to get clean output today are:

- Use Copilot Studio and create a custom agent that removes citations before output.
- Manually remove the citations in Word/Outlook, or temporarily turn Copilot off for that document.
Citations cannot currently be disabled globally.
