Saving a Model Generated File in SharePoint - New Copilot Studio
Hi everyone, I have spent the last two days trying to solve a problem that to me should be a straightforward functionality. I have an agent I made which generates Word file reports. The agent is Cluade Opus 4.8 and it generates the file wonderfully as per my brand guidelines. The document in not a simple content file. Rather these documents can get complex based on the user requirement. Currently the document generates fine and the user gets a popup to download the file. I however need the file to be saved in our share SharePoint library. I created a workflow tool that accepts a file input and then saves it to SharePoint, however when I tried to configure this tool in the agent, the file input parameter was not showing. I then tried to set up a workflow which accepts a url, but the agent cannot seem to access any url or pass it to my workflow. Using a create file tool within the agent and having the agent fill in the file name and content parameters was slow, and the agent was actually attempting to rewrite the file byte-by-byte which lead to the file being re-created and is not scalable for large files. Based on the agent, this is how the file is currently saved: "The file is saved inside my sandboxed container at: /app/created/Sample_Report.docx /app/created/ is a special output directory: any file I place there is automatically packaged by the platform and returned to you as the chat attachment (the Sample_Report.docx chip you see). This is a private, ephemeral location inside my container — it is not a shared network path, and it is not the SharePoint library. Neither you nor the SharePoint tool can reach /app/created/ directly; the platform's attachment mechanism is the only bridge out of it, and as we established, that bridge delivers a direct download rather than a hosted HTTPS URL. So to be precise: the file exists only (a) here in my container at /app/created/Sample_Report.docx, and (b) as the downloadable attachment the platform generated from it. It has not been saved to SharePoint." I need this functionality working as I will have several automations flows around report generation so no human will be available to download the file from within Copilot. Note: I cannot use the old copilot studio as the file generation capabilities are not on par with the new copilot studio experience. The same agent model does not output files, and the create word file node does not output files at the depth and formatting complexity I require. Can anyone please help with a reliable way to get the file save in SharePoint from the New Copilot Studio experience? I'm at my wits end here.
Microsoft AI Agent Creator Associate Certificate

Thank you in advance for your advice and insights!
New Agent Experience - Adding Excel Tool
Hello everyone, I want an agent in the new Copilot Studio experience to read the latest row from an Excel table and then append a new row. Has anyone successfully configured the Excel Online (Business) tools dynamically in the new Copilot Studio experience? Which values should be passed for Location, Document Library/Drive, and File, etc.? In preview, the agent fails but when I prompt it, it ends up adding the row. If anyone could also guide me to resources to learn about how to configure tools in the new experience, I would even be more grateful. Thank you !
Can we create local and global variable in the new copilot studio
I've recently gotten access to the new Copilot Studio experience and have been exploring the new Skills-based architecture. In the previous experience, we could create global and local variables, making it easy to store information during a conversation and reuse it across topics, actions, and conditions. In the new Copilot Studio, I haven't found an equivalent concept. Is there currently a way to create and manage variables that persist throughout a conversation? If not, what's the recommended approach to storing information collected during a conversation so it can be reused across multiple Skills, Tools, and Agent Instructions without asking the user for the same information again? I'd love to hear how others are handling this in the new experience. Any best practices or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!Token Limit Exceeded?

Copilot Podcast Creations Stuck in “Creating” State
My Copilot podcast creations are stuck in the “Creating” state and will not delete. The delete button is greyed out. I have already tried closing all browsers, restarting my iPad, phone, and PC, and the issue persists across all devices. It looks like the jobs are stuck in the backend queue and cannot be cleared from my side. I also attempted to open a support chat, but the service request auto‑closed before an agent joined. Is there a way to clear these stuck podcast creations on the backend, or can someone from Microsoft confirm if this is a known issue?Copilot studio Agents published on Sharepoint
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can confirm or correct my understanding of a limitation we're experiencing. We have a Copilot Studio agent published to a SharePoint site. When users interact with the agent, they are unable to see their previous chat history — unlike the built-in SharePoint AI agents (e.g. SharePoint Agents / Copilot for SharePoint), which do appear to retain and display conversation history. Is it correct that Copilot Studio agents published to SharePoint do NOT support persistent chat history visible to the end user, while native/built-in SharePoint AI agents do support this out of the box?New Agent experience - how to add Fabric data agent
When using the new (Agent) experience in Copilot studio how can you add Fabric Data agent as connected agent ? There does not seem to be an option. Also should adding it as an MCP server be supported (under Tools) ? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-science/data-agent-mcp-server says the following: Currently, you can use the Fabric data agent MCP server only in VS Code. If you're using your own MCP client, it can also work, as long as you set up authentication Has anyone tried this? If yes, by using with authentication? OAuth2? Thanks
Giving AI Agent access to move files between folders
Hi Community, I have built a PDF to Excel reconcilliation AI Agent using Microsoft Copilot that reconciles supplier statements against payables data for our organisation. The agent works well. it reads PDF supplier statements and Excel reports from a SharePoint document library, performs the reconciliation, and produces a structured audit-ready report. However, I am hitting a limitation at the final step. Once the reconciliation is complete, I would like the agent to automatically move the processed supplier statement PDF from its current folder to a subfolder called "reconcilled" within the same SharePoint document library. My question is What is the recommended way to give a Copilot AI Agent the ability to move files between SharePoint folders? Any guidance, documentation links, or examples from others who have implemented similar workflows would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
