SharePoint Knowledge Agent Available in Preview (but where's the magic)
With not a little hype, Microsoft launched the SharePoint Knowledge Agent on September 18. Getting some AI help to organize sites sounds good, but only if the assistance delivered by the artificial intelligence does something useful. In this case, the agent generated some moderately interesting results without ever reaching the level of AI magic anticipated (and reported) by some. https://office365itpros.com/2025/09/25/sharepoint-knowledge-agent/
Add Research Agent to another agent
Hello community, I’d like to create a CoPilot agent that automatically generates an extended research report for new projects, based on the core project details (such as product, market, region, etc.) based on an extended online research. Ideally, this agent would leverage the “deep research” functionality, similar to the Research Agent. From what I’ve seen, CoPilot Studios allows you to connect agents to each other—but only if they are agents you’ve created yourself. Is there a way to enable an agent to use the “deep research / Research Agent” function directly? Thanks in advance for your help!
Part 4: Thoughts Under a Cloudy Sky — Copilot Pages UX
In Part 0 and Part 00, I spoke about education and the fragmentation of Microsoft 365 — the hidden roots behind these proposals. Now, let’s pause the theory and reflect on the everyday feeling of Copilot Pages. Every morning, when I open Copilot Pages at the office, the screen feels like a cloudy sky — gray, heavy, uninspiring. Especially after a bright commute, that contrast makes the mood even heavier. But as the all-in-one entry point, Copilot Pages deserves a better face. Even a small design touch could turn the morning start from cloudy gray to a welcoming blue sky. For example: letting users choose their own expression — colors, subtle motions, seasonal themes. Impact Shifts Copilot Pages from “a tool I must open” to “a partner I want to open.” Adds motivation and positivity to daily routines. Proves that UX is not only about efficiency, but also about atmosphere and mood. 👉 Stay tuned for Part 5! Will tomorrow be sunny — under the far horizon 第4弾：曇り空に想うこと ― Copilot Pagesの体験 第0弾と第00弾では、教育の重要性やMicrosoft 365の分断という背景を語りました。 今回は少し視点を変えて、Copilot Pagesを開いたときの“感じ方”に目を向けます。 毎朝、出社してCopilot Pagesを開くと、画面いっぱいに広がる曇り空（グレー基調）。 晴れやかな通勤のあとに見ると、その落差でさらに気分が重くなります。 けれど、オールインワンの入口には、もっと相応しい「顔」が必要ではないでしょうか。 ほんの小さな仕掛けでもいいのです。 毎朝のスタートを「曇り空」から「開きたくなる青空」へ変えて欲しい。 例えば、ユーザーが自分で選べる表情を持たせることです ― 色や動き、季節感を取り入れた選択肢があるだけで違います。 効果 「仕方なく開くツール」から「楽しみに開けるパートナー」へ変わる 日々のルーティンを前向きに彩り、モチベーションを高める UXは効率だけでなく、気分や雰囲気を左右する要素だと示せる 👉 次回、第5弾をおたのしみに！ 明日晴れるかな？ 遥空の下
4 hrs 30 min on Copilot 365, 5 min on ChatGPT
I spent 4 hours and 30 minutes on Copil 365 to have it organize files and folders, sort documents, and convert them to PDF. It could not write the script. ChatGPT completed the task in under 5 minutes. Goodbye copilot365 & copilot. You were amazing-NOT! P.S. On top of that, it crashed at least twice.Moving conversation from one Notebook to another....
Is it possible to move a conversation out of a notebook? I am not seeing the option if it does exist. I don't want to DELETE the conversation as that seems to permanently remove the conversation. This seems like basic function so I assume I'm doing it wrong. THX>
Copilot Agent - assigning permissions to apps like Outlook and OneDrive
I'm trying to create an agent to do the following: - Automate the process of creating an email addressed to XXX - Attach the most recent file from OneDrive without renaming the file. - Prompt the user for a subject line before sending the email. - Only send the email after the subject line is provided by the user. - Launch the agent when the user enters the prompt 'XXX" - Ensure the attachment is not renamed during the process Copilot will create the agent, but does not send the email. Copilot tells me that the agent may not have access to Outlook to send the email. How do I assign permissions to a Copilot agent? All my searching over the last two hours has left me with no solution. Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you!Copilot Prompt recommendation disappear in Word Online
Hi everyone, I’ve noticed that the Copilot prompt recommendation no longer appears in Word Online. Normally, when I type "prepare," I see a suggested prompt, but now I only see my prompt history. In the MS365 app, however, the recommendations still appear. I’ve confirmed that I have an active full Copilot license and that all MS products are updated. Has Microsoft removed this feature, or is there a setting I can enable to restore it? This feature is very helpful for quickly generating accurate prompts.

Researcher - Formating Issues
I have a serious issue to force Researcher to follow a specific format concerning citation within his response. Although it delivers a superior content, it does not comply with neither the instructions (word file) nor the template nor the prompt concerning the citations. I want clickable (hyperlinked) citations throughout the text that will be listed in a references section at the bottom of the report. I re-engineered instructions, template and prompt 100s of times according to it's own suggestions without success. It always miss something. I also prompted "not to synthesize anything untill the Template and Instructions rules applied". Again failed. Are other folks having similar challenges? Did you found any tips or tricks to force Researcher to comly in formating requests?
Copilot on Android
When attempting to open a password protected xlsm file through Copilot on my Android phone the file is disabled. When I open the file through the Onedrive app it opens properly in Copilot. The file is stored in Onedrive, not in the vault. Is it because the file is an xlsm file or because it is password protected?
Microsoft's Copilot: A Frustrating Flop in AI-Powered Productivity
Microsoft's Copilot was supposed to be the game-changer in productivity, but it's quickly proving to be a massive disappointment. The idea was simple: integrate AI directly into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office tools to make our lives easier. But when it comes to actually performing specific functions, Copilot falls flat. Here’s the problem: when you ask Copilot to alter a document, modify an Excel file, or adjust a PowerPoint presentation, it’s practically useless. Instead of performing the tasks as requested, it often leaves you hanging with vague suggestions or instructions. Users don't want to be told how to perform a task—they want it done. This is what an AI assistant should do: execute commands efficiently, not just offer advice. What makes this even more frustrating is that other AI tools, like ChatGPT, can handle these tasks effortlessly. When you ask ChatGPT to perform a specific function, it does so without hesitation. It’s able to understand the request and deliver exactly what’s needed. But Copilot? It struggles with the basics, and that’s unacceptable, especially from a company like Microsoft. It’s frankly embarrassing that Microsoft can’t get this right. The whole point of integrating AI into these tools was to streamline workflows and boost productivity. But if Copilot can’t even manage simple tasks like formatting a document or adjusting a spreadsheet, then what’s the point? Users don’t need another tool that tells them how to do something—they need one that does it for them. Microsoft, you’ve missed the mark with Copilot. It's not just a minor inconvenience; it's a serious flaw that undermines the value of your Office suite. When other AI tools can easily accomplish what Copilot can't, it's time to reevaluate. Users expect more, and frankly, they deserve more for their investment. What’s been your experience with Copilot? Is anyone else finding it as frustrating as I am? Let’s talk about it.Copilot Chat Arrives in Microsoft 365 Apps
The rollout of the Copilot Chat integration with the Microsoft 365 apps has started, with the intention of making it easier to use AI in peoples’ work. Nice as the integration is, the news that an Open in Word action button is coming (soon) to allow content generated by Copilot to be edited in Word is even better. And we round out the week with a note about a change to the domain used by Teams. https://office365itpros.com/2025/09/19/copilot-chat-microsoft-365-apps/New copilot app can't switch from work to personal account
I installed the app from the Windows 11 store yesterday, and it was working fine just like it did on my mobile app. I made sure I signed in with my personal Microsoft account on both. Today, when I attempted to use it again on my Windows 11 PC, it seems like it signed in with my work account and no matter how many times I sign out and back in with my personal account it keeps displaying "It looks like you're signed in with your work account". I've terminated the app, uninstalled it, not sure what else to do? It is signed in with my personal account now but still not working.
Outlook Prioritize Inbox missing from client
Hey everyone, Just wanted to check for enterprise licensed users if you have access to the 'Prioritize Inbox' feature in Outlook. Unfortunately, it hasn't appeared in our client yet, also it's missing from the admin message center (used to be visible there). We have plenty of users who could take advantage of this feature and yet it is nowhere to be found. I have reached out to our Microsoft contact, who had it enabled, and stated that it's coming... coming when? All best, KamilAgent in a Day: Workshop with Microsoft
