Allow new line on Enter / CTRL-Enter to submit instead of Enter submits
Allow ENTER to give a new line and CTRL-ENTER to submit in the Microsoft Copilot 365 desktop app in Windows/Copilot in all Microsoft Office applications. (Third time posting this as both previous attempts mysteriously vanished with no reason/explanation given. So this time it's just the TL;DR from the removed posts. If it survives, I'll add more commentary.)
Issue with the Copilot Prompt Gallery
The Prompt Gallery is available in Microsoft 365 Copilot, but it does not appear in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. How can I access it within these Office applications? Is it already possible to customize or manage the prompt suggestions displayed in the Office tools?
Whom to contact.
Hi, My name is Sam. I have been using the free version of Copilot for almost a week now, but the system is too limited for the work I am doing. Using the Copilot though, I have created a formal comprehensive request for access to higher powered A.I. What I do not know is who to send it too. If anyone can provide relevant information, that would be greatly appreciated.Copilot Chat + Outlook: Email Summary Behavior
Sharing my discoveries. Copilot Chat is available to Microsoft 365 work or school accounts. Using Summarize this email in Outlook saves each summary as a Copilot Chat conversation, which can clutter Chat History. There’s no bulk delete; chats must be removed one at a time. This is expected behavior. Using Temporary Chat for one-time summaries helps keep Chat History clean.

I’ve always enjoyed working in Copilot Notebook. One of my favorite features has been the ability to add just a subset of relevant files so I can stay focused on one piece of a project. That alone created a real “wow factor” for trainees. But with the latest update, I’m finding the new three‑split layout a bit distracting. The UI is now spread across the left navigation panel, the main summary/content area in the middle, and the Copilot chat on the right. There’s a lot happening on the screen at once, and it feels busier than before. ℹ️To help others who might be hunting for where everything moved, I recorded a quick walk‑through so you don’t spend an hour clicking around. ▶️ Video: https://youtu.be/lkwgMXfIlDQ?si=xZvZ0KSqrP-5T0Ug I’m curious how you're feeling about the new Copilot Notebook experience? Are the changes working for you, or do you miss the previous layout too? #traccreations4e-p25 1/24/2026
M365 Copilot Chat Works for Cloud-Only Students, Not for AD-Synced Accounts
I want to make M365 Copilot Chat accessible for our students (13+), and according to this article, I have prepared everything: My tenant is correctly classified as K12. The student account has the attribute ageGroup set to NotAdult in Entra ID. Unfortunately, this only works with student accounts that are cloud-only. When I synchronize a student from the on-premises AD to Entra ID and set the ageGroup attribute to NotAdult in Entra ID, access to Copilot Chat does not work. Any ideas?
Copilot Agent ALM and Knowledge Source Management Across Environments
Hello everyone, I currently have an agent in a Dev environment and want to deploy it to a second environment (e.g., Test or Prod). During deployment, we need to change the references to the knowledge sources. I’ve seen some articles where environment variables are used within Conversational Boosting topics to handle this, but I wanted to check if there is a supported or recommended way to manage or update knowledge source references from the Knowledge section itself to make them dynamic by using Environment variable? Any guidance or best practices would help. Thankyou.Copilot Pages verschwunden – nur noch 15 sichtbar (vermuteter Server‑Sync‑Fehler)
Ich habe ein Problem mit Copilot Pages, das eindeutig nicht clientseitig ist. Ich hatte deutlich mehr als 15 Pages in meinem Konto. Seit kurzem werden jedoch **nur noch die neuesten 15 Pages** angezeigt – sowohl in der **Windows‑App** als auch im **Browser**. Ich habe **keine Pages gelöscht**. Es sind ausschließlich die **älteren Pages** verschwunden. Details: - Windows‑App und Browser zeigen **exakt dieselben 15 Pages** - kein Filter aktiv - App mehrfach neu gestartet - Browser‑Cache geleert - Geräteübergreifend reproduzierbar - Pages wurden ursprünglich **explizit als Pages erstellt** - Problem trat plötzlich auf, ohne Änderung meinerseits Das Verhalten deutet auf einen **Backend‑Sync‑Fehler** hin, bei dem ältere Page‑Referenzen nicht mehr meinem Konto zugeordnet werden. Ich bitte um Prüfung und Wiederherstellung der fehlenden Pages. Danke.The Commons for Innovation: A Proposal for a Unified, Public, Cross‑Disciplinary Ecosystem
AI isn’t falling short — it’s being boxed in. If we want it to contribute meaningfully, we need to give it a place where real innovation can grow. Right now, AI is used almost entirely in isolated, one‑on‑one interactions. Individuals ask questions, get answers, and move on. But innovation doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when different kinds of thinkers can see each other’s work, build on it, and approach problems from multiple angles. Innovation isn’t a straight line from A to B. It’s the whole alphabet in motion. And AI has nowhere to explore that alphabet alongside the people who need it most. Microsoft already has the soil — dozens of communities, idea boards, and discussion spaces — but they function like potted plants. Each product has its own container. Each idea grows alone. The potential is there, but it’s fragmented, hidden, and hard to discover unless you stumble into it by accident. A Commons for Innovation wouldn’t reinvent the wheel. It would refurbish it by connecting these existing spaces into a cohesive, public garden where ideas can grow together instead of apart. A Public Garden of Ideas This ecosystem would bring Microsoft’s scattered communities into one visible, unified environment. Every community would be public — more like a shared garden than a private chat. This allows natural cross‑pollination: environmentalists can see what robotics hobbyists are building educators can learn from accessibility advocates programmers can discover what urban gardeners need materials scientists can browse sustainability challenges No silos. No hidden groups. No barriers to collaboration. What the Platform Could Include Communities organized around real‑world problems: clean water access sustainable materials accessible education renewable energy wildlife rehabilitation assistive robotics urban gardening mental health support tools Each community would offer: a clear problem statement a shared idea board a public discussion space a resource library optional project threads a Copilot‑supported thinking space Anyone could join. Anyone could contribute. No credentials required. Visibility Matters People can’t collaborate in spaces they don’t know exist. Right now, Microsoft’s innovation‑related communities are valuable but scattered — hidden courtyards instead of a connected landscape. A Commons for Innovation would give users a clear entry point and a unified map of the ecosystem. A Single Umbrella for Innovation Microsoft already hosts a space for innovative ideas, but it sits apart from the rest of the community structure. A Commons for Innovation could serve as the umbrella that brings these spaces together, making it easier for users to find, explore, and contribute to the work happening across disciplines. A Showcase Garden for Human + AI Creativity Microsoft users are already creating extraordinary things with Copilot — websites, 3D‑printed tools, comics, children’s books, games, music, merch, and entire fictional universes. But there is no central place to share these creations. A Showcase Garden would give users a public space to display what they’ve built, inspire others, and demonstrate the true range of what AI‑supported creativity can look like. This isn’t just a gallery — it’s a living advertisement for what’s possible when people and AI collaborate across disciplines. As one example, in my own collaboration with Copilot, we’ve created: a full website a 3D‑printed medical splint a merch line comics and illustrated characters a satirical news network children’s books videogame concepts music video storyboards lore, badges, and mythologies creative problem‑solving tools narrative worlds and teaching frameworks None of these projects fit neatly into a single product forum. Yet they all grew from the same seed: a human and an AI exploring ideas across disciplines. A Showcase Garden would let anyone do the same — and let Microsoft highlight the full spectrum of what Copilot can actually do. The Gardeners Already Exist Microsoft already has passionate contributors — Copilot Champs, MVPs, Insiders — but they’re scattered across product‑specific spaces. These community stewards are helping, teaching, and supporting users every day, but only within isolated pots. A Commons for Innovation would give them a unified environment where their expertise can support cross‑disciplinary collaboration, enabling ideas to grow across the entire garden rather than in separate containers. The Role of Copilot Copilot wouldn’t connect private groups or share information between users. Instead, it would act as a facilitator inside each public community: helping users articulate ideas clearly translating concepts across disciplines offering perspectives from fields users may not think to explore keeping categories organized amplifying creativity and broadening problem‑solving approaches This stays fully within existing safety and privacy boundaries while unlocking the collaborative potential of AI. Why Microsoft Is the Right Steward Microsoft already provides the infrastructure, research culture, and AI tools. A Commons for Innovation would allow Microsoft to: support world‑improving work foster interdisciplinary collaboration showcase responsible AI use become the steward of a global innovation ecosystem Microsoft wouldn’t need to own the ideas — the credit comes from building the environment where those ideas can grow. The Opportunity Right now, people who want to make things better — environmentalists, nonprofit innovators, educators, hobbyists, open‑source builders — are scattered across the internet. They’re working in silos, often reinventing the wheel or missing the chance to collaborate with someone who has the missing piece. A Commons for Innovation would give them a shared garden — a place where ideas can grow, cross‑pollinate, and evolve into solutions that matter. If we want AI to help build what hasn’t been built, we need to create the soil where those ideas can take root.Microsoft 365 Copilot access to planner tasks?
I try to get Microsoft 365 Copilit access to existing planner plans and it's tasks. Read and possibly write access. How would I do that? I only have basic plans that are used in our team. Do I have to convert them (if that is possible at all) to the plans with project manager? I tried Project Manager. That seems to be an enhanced plan. Can I migrate? Does it need additional licenses?
