- KristenDocDockeryCopper ContributorWhat is working well for organizations to drive engagement with Copilot champions?
- alliethompsonIron ContributorGreat question! There are a ton of great Copilot training and adoption resources across roles. I recommend starting at https://adoption.microsoft.com/en-us/copilot/. I would also check out Copilot Academy which is now available through Viva Learning to anyone with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/viva-learning-blog/microsoft-copilot-academy-now-available-to-all-microsoft-365/ba-p/4229957
- jsavage1405Copper ContributorWill there be any way ground Microsoft 365 Copilot's responses to only use information or documents from a specified folder or sharepoint location? For example, if I am in Word, will there be any way for me to say "answer this question using only documents in [specified folder location]" this would be hugely beneficial

We recently posted an item in the roadmap (Feature: 413110, Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365): Ground prompts using SharePoint Sites) where users in Business Chat will be able to ground prompts on a SharePoint site.- jsavage1405Copper ContributorThats great! Is this only in business chat? Or will it be implemented in the other office aps as well (Word for example)?
- BalajiedCopper ContributorIs there a possibility in the future we see Copilot in Power BI where it helps users of the report or dashboard get comprehensive analysis?

- KristenDocDockeryCopper ContributorWill the Copilot web experience ever be available in Teams to toggle between web and work?
- SBACoachCopper Contributor
i just receive a mail message about "Boost productivity with secure AI" and an offer for 15% off the first 100 licenses. What about for Partners? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/copilot/business#Pricing
- NeilRhodesCopper ContributorTwo questions: With the Python in Excel ability, will CoPilot have the ability to write and correct Python code like ChatGPT? Also and more important in a way, there seems to be a massive gap with CoPilot when it comes to accessibility. We all know OpenAI has an img2txt function, when will CoPilot have the ability to auto add ALT text to images in Word and PowerPoint?

Copilot in Excel with Python writes Python in Excel formulas, inserts them in your workbook, and corrects them when it gets the code wrong. You can see an example of the experience on Microsoft 365 Copilot in Excel with Python | YouTube , and find more information on Copilot in Excel with Python | Microsoft Support.
For the ability to add alt text to images, we've heard a similar ask from other customers. It's something the product team is aware of, but we don't have a timeline to share of when this may be available.
- ChristofferCopper ContributorWill Copilot start using OpenAI o1 for any complex questions anytime soon?
- KevinSherman

On Monday we announced that GPT-4o is now being used by M365 Copilot. We are exploring OpenAI o1 to determine where it could best fit the needs of M365 Copilot users. - mattschmidCopper ContributorI'd settle for 4o to replace 4. When will that option be available?

- pamvillalobosCopper ContributorIs there more information about "With Brand manager, Copilot can leverage your company’s branded template, so your presentations are enterprise-ready and on-brand. Soon, Copilot will pull in company-approved images from your SharePoint Organization Asset Library."? Will be rolling in out soon?
- aschilbach

Great question! Today with brand manager you can create a branded presentation with Copilot when you start from a branded template. You can learn more about how to do that here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/use-your-organization-s-branding-with-copilot-in-powerpoint-c8bc6df5-37ed-4398-8b90-f78a8fdcf9bb For the new SharePoint Organization asset library connection, you can track the public roadmap item for more specific timing on when you can add an image from your SharePoint OAL: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=406170. And feel free to check out this resource on how to get it set up: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/connect-organizational-asset-libraries-to-copilot. We are unable to share more specific timing on when you'll be able to create a presentation that automatically pulls in your brand images from your SharePoint OAL at this time.
