Copilot for Planner and To Do Automating Task Management
In today’s fast-paced digital workplace, managing tasks effectively is one of the most important skills for productivity and team success. Between meetings, emails, chats, and deadlines, it’s easy for key action items to fall through the cracks. Microsoft’s latest innovation—Copilot for Planner and To Do—aims to change that by using artificial intelligence to automate and simplify task management. This powerful integration between Microsoft 365 Copilot, Planner, and To Do allows individuals and teams to automatically generate, organize, and monitor tasks using natural language. Instead of spending hours setting up task lists or following up manually, you can let Copilot do the heavy lifting. https://dellenny.com/copilot-for-planner-and-to-do-how-ai-automates-task-management/How Azure Active Directory Supports Secure Copilot Access
AI tools like Microsoft Copilot are transforming how people work. They help us write emails, generate reports, analyze data, and automate tasks — all from within Microsoft 365. But as AI becomes more powerful, it also becomes more attractive to attackers. Sensitive data is being processed through these tools every day, and organizations need to make sure only the right people have access. That’s where Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) comes in. Azure AD, now part of Microsoft Entra, is the identity management engine behind Microsoft 365 and Copilot. It helps ensure that every login, every device, and every data request to Copilot is verified, compliant, and secure. Let’s explore how Azure AD supports secure Copilot access and why it’s such a crucial part of Microsoft’s security ecosystem. https://dellenny.com/how-azure-active-directory-supports-secure-copilot-access/Using Microsoft 365 Admin Reports to Track Copilot Adoption
In today’s fast-moving business world, deploying advanced productivity tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot is only the beginning. What truly matters is understanding how your organization is using these tools and whether they’re delivering real value. The journey from “we’ve rolled it out” to “we’re benefiting from it” relies on visibility, monitoring, and informed decision-making. That’s where Microsoft 365 Admin Reports come in — helping organizations track Copilot adoption, analyze usage trends, and drive data-based improvement. https://dellenny.com/using-microsoft-365-admin-reports-to-track-copilot-adoption/How to Build Effective Copilot Usage Dashboards in Power BI
In today’s business environment, leveraging AI-powered tools such as Microsoft 365 Copilot isn’t just about deploying them — it’s about understanding how they’re used, measuring their impact, and guiding adoption to ensure they deliver tangible value. One of the best ways to achieve this is by building insightful Copilot usage dashboards in Power BI. These dashboards help visualize Copilot usage, adoption, and impact across your organization, empowering leaders to make data-driven decisions that accelerate transformation. https://dellenny.com/how-to-build-effective-copilot-usage-dashboards-in-power-bi/How to Use Copilot to Draft Messages and Announcements in Microsoft Teams
In the fast-paced world of business communication, clarity and speed matter.

In this blog, we’ll explore how you can use Copilot to draft messages and announcements inside Teams, why it adds value, how to do it well (including prompts and tone-tips), and some best practices you can apply today. https://dellenny.com/draft-better-messages-announcements-in-microsoft-teams-with-microsoft-copilot/
Technical issue - expansion of the dialog box
Hi, I have watched prompt creation video in which the presenter had an option of expanding the Copilot dialogue box into the full screen. Upon pasting several line of text, an arrow appeared in the top right corner of the dialog box (see photo attached) This is for some unknown reason not available to me. Initially I thought it's because I was using browser rather than the app, but I have since installed the app and I cannot find the way to replicate this. I'm let to believe that I have full unrestricted license. What could be the cause of it? What am I missing? Regards TomHow to Ask AI Meeting Assistants the Right Questions During Meetings
In today’s fast-paced hybrid work world, tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot (often simply “Copilot”) that sit inside your meeting platform are dramatically changing how we interact in meetings. But having access to a powerful AI helper doesn’t automatically mean you’ll get maximum value. Much of the benefit comes down to how you ask it questions. If you pose vague, unfocused prompts, the answers will reflect that. On the other hand, well-crafted questions can turn Copilot into your strategic co-pilot during meetings. In this post, we’ll walk you through why asking the right questions matters, what kinds of questions to ask during or after a meeting, and how to ask them effectively to improve clarity, decisions, alignment, and follow-up. https://dellenny.com/how-to-ask-ai-meeting-assistants-the-right-questions-during-meetings/Turn Conversations into Reports Instantly with Copilot in Microsoft Teams
In today’s fast-paced workplace, teams spend a lot of time in chats and meetings — but too often the valuable information shared there ends up buried in a scroll of history, or forgotten after the session ends. That’s why the ability to instantly turn conversations into structured reports is a game changer. With Microsoft 365 Copilot inside Microsoft Teams, you can shift from manually summarizing threads and meeting notes to having AI generate concise, actionable summaries and reports automatically. Here’s how this works, why it matters, and how you can make it work for your team. https://dellenny.com/turn-conversations-into-reports-instantly-with-copilot-in-microsoft-teams/How Educators Can Teach AI Literacy Using Copilot
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, teaching students how to understand, use, and critically evaluate artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t optional — it’s essential. By adopting the lens of AI literacy, educators can empower learners not just to use AI tools, but to engage with them responsibly, creatively, and ethically. AI literacy refers to “the technical knowledge, durable skills, and future-ready attitudes required to thrive in a world influenced by AI.” It’s about developing both cognitive understanding and critical awareness. One powerful way for educators to teach AI literacy is by integrating Microsoft 365 Copilot (hereafter “Copilot”) into classroom practice. With Copilot’s capabilities — from generating prompts to supporting lesson planning — teachers have a hands-on opportunity to model, scaffold, and assess AI literacy in meaningful ways. This blog outlines how educators can harness Copilot to teach AI literacy, offering frameworks, strategies, classroom applications, and ethical considerations. https://dellenny.com/how-educators-can-teach-ai-literacy-using-copilot/Copilot and Viva Empowering Employee Engagement
In today’s rapidly evolving workplace—defined by hybrid teams, digital collaboration, and shifting employee expectations—organizations must rethink how they engage, empower, and retain talent. That’s where the combined power of Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft Viva comes in. Together, Copilot and Viva form a powerful synergy: transforming not only how work gets done but how employees connect, grow, and feel about their work. Their integration creates a more intelligent, people-centric experience—one that drives true employee engagement. https://dellenny.com/copilot-viva-empowering-employee-engagement-in-the-modern-workplace/
