How to Stop Microsoft 365 Chat Accessing the Content of Confidential Documents
You can't prevent Microsoft 365 Chat finding documents based on searches against Microsoft 365 Search and the semantic index. But you can stop Copilot from using the content of sensitive documents in its summaries and generated text. This article explains how the different ways to block Copilot in Microsoft 365 work. https://practical365.com/microsoft-365-chat-blocks/Stopping Copilot Access to SharePoint Online Sites and Document Libraries
Two methods exist to exclude a SharePoint sites from Copilot being able to use its contents – you can exclude the site (or document library) from search results or use sensitivity labels. Given the choice, sensitivity labels are more flexible and powerful, but removing sites from search indexes is easier to implement. https://office365itpros.com/2024/02/21/exclude-sharepoint-site-from-copilot/The Impact of Generative AI on Technology Websites
Generative AI tools like Microsoft Copilot are nice to have, but the content in the LLMs used by these tools must come from somewhere. The impact of generative AI on technology websites is very real and will have a far reaching effect if websites close due to reduced traffic and revenues. How will the LLMs used by generative AI refresh their knowledge base if websites don’t create that information for them (for free)? https://office365itpros.com/2024/11/25/impact-of-generative-ai/Edge, Rewrite with Copilot, Work Profiles
I was enjoying the rewrite with CoPilot (Alt +I) feature in edge when using my online database for communication notes. With the "improvement" to Microsoft 365 & edge, they locked it down with enterprise data protection. I get it and understand the need for it. But... I need to disable this. I am my own global admin to my Microsoft 365 premium subscription. I have 3 users/employees. (One is my spouse). I have spent the last several days going through my Entra settings and Edge/Copilot settings in the Admin panel to try and figure out how to turn this feature back on in our Edge Work Profiles. Could someone here please explain it to me like I am 5 years old, the process in which to enable this rewrite with Copilot feature again? I understand I need to override the data protection settings it cannot figure out how to get it to work. Some of the technet articles are beyond me with all these policy & profiles. Does it need to be so difficult?How to use Copilot Agents in SharePoint [All You Need To Know]
The creation of Copilot Agent is now enabled in SharePoint 🚀. Users holding M365 Copilot licenses will notice a new Copilot feature in the Suite Navigation bar, tailored to the site they are currently viewing. Additionally, they will find options to create Copilot agents from the 'New' menu on the homepage and within their document libraries. These features are accessible only to users with existing creation and editing rights on the site or document library. Moreover, they have the option to share a Copilot agent link with other users, who, if they possess a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, will be able to interact with it. #SharePoint #MicrosoftSharePoint #Microsoft365 #MPVbuzz #Copilot #AIMicrosoft to Separate Copilot and Teams Compliance Records
In a November 8 post, Microsoft says that Purview Data Lifecycle Management will allow tenants to split processing of Copilot interactions and Teams chats with different policies. The public preview for the change should be available in mid-November. This update makes perfect sense because there’s no logic to dictate that Microsoft 365 tenants want to impose the same retention period for Teams chats and Copilot interactions. https://office365itpros.com/2024/11/12/copilot-interaction-retention/How Microsoft Copilot Generates Compliance Records
A recent article about analyzing interaction records for Microsoft 365 Copilot led to the question if it’s possible to do the same for Microsoft Copilot. After checking the compliance records captured by the Microsoft 365 substrate, we discovered that Microsoft Copilot generates compliance records. However, a bug with encoded text means that the information captured for responses from Microsoft Copilot and Microsoft 365 Chat isn't visible. All explained here. https://office365itpros.com/2024/11/07/microsoft-copilot-interactions/Analyzing Microsoft 365 Copilot Interactions Using Compliance Records
Every time Microsoft 365 Copilot interacts with a user, the Microsoft 365 substrate captures the Copilot interaction as a compliance record in the user's mailbox. By fetching and analyzing the compliance records, we can understand how the user interacts with Copilot. This article discusses how to retrieve and analyze the records with the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK. https://practical365.com/copilot-interactions/How to Create a Custom Copilot Agent for SharePoint Online
Copilot agents are part of Microsoft’s Wave 2 initiative launched in September 2024. Basically, an agent restricts Copilot queries to a defined set of content, meaning that the response generated by Copilot is much more precise and won’t be affected by information found in other sites. The wizard makes it very easy to create a new custom agent. Some features are missing, but they’re on the way. https://office365itpros.com/2024/10/31/copilot-agents-sharepoint/Microsoft Says SMEs Can Benefit from Microsoft 365 Copilot
An October 17 report highlights how Microsoft 365 Copilot can benefit SMEs in terms of increased revenue and ROI. But the report is a marketing tool designed to sell more expensive Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses. There’s a certain fear of missing out presented by the report, but spending a large amount on licenses without knowing exactly where the return will come from has never been a good business tactic. https://office365itpros.com/2024/10/25/microsoft-365-copilot-sme/
