Acronyms in Copilot for Microsoft 365

Is there a way for Copilot for Microsoft 365 to understand abbreviations that are only used within one’s own company?

Can I maybe use Search & intelligence > Acronyms in the M365 admin center and put it there?

I like your question very much. I have given it some thought in the past, particularly when Microsoft announced: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-365-blog/unlock-organizational-knowledge-with-topic...

Which would likely have provided a way to achieve what you mentioned. However, it has been superseded by: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/topics/changes-coming-to-topics?view=o365-worldwide, retiring Viva Topics per Feb 22, 2025.

On alternative plans of Microsoft I don't know anything yet, but am curious as it is a great way to improve Copilot results. I haven't explored your option yet. When I find out more (or you) let's revert back here.
