Introduction to Copilot for Microsoft 365

Hello Gabe, I tried to ask Copilot about the information in the list, and even though it finds the list, it cannot answer anything about the list itself. It only references the list but it insists that I "check the file directly for more information or contact the authors". After getting this answer, I tried with copilot studio - Generative Answers, but according to this post (https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General/Copilot-studio-on-SharePoint-list/m-p/2561962/highlight/true#M8373), sharepoint lists are not a native data source for Gen Answers. When I export the list to excel, I can use copilot in excel and it works great. but with copilot 365, I don't get the answer I wanted. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I believe a good starting point for SharePoint List is to ensure Terminology of data is consistent and we are not calling one term (this) in one location within the Lists, and then calling the same term (that) in onother location. Having a connection to the Term Store in SharePoint to publish, manage, constrain, and modify inconsistent Terminology would be a great benefit; especially when there are many different users accessing a Lists to add records to the lists. I would look at this as a data cleanup operation to ensure consistency across the entire set of lists records... A large list containing 1000s of records takes a huge amount of time to correct inconsistent Terms.

I would like to search information from sharepoint lists and aspx pages. In my company, our sharepoint is based on lists. And at the moment, copilot can only answer questions about documents inside the sharepoint. The sharepoint index (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-howto-index-sharepoint-online) also has lists and aspx limitations. I haven't found any alternative to question copilot about sharepoint lists.
