How to force users to sign in at copilot.com
Hi, I've seen several sets of instructions for this, using conditional access, but none of these seem to work for me. We want to ensure that users do not go to copilot.com from their workstation and start using it for business without first signing in to provide commercial data protection. We have Copilot 365 licenses, Entra, and Intune. Has anyone been able to get this to work, or should we block copilot.com entirely?A Guide to Prompt Coach

PROPUESTA: MODO PROFESIONAL PARA PROYECTOS LARGOS EN MICROSOFT 365 COPILOT Por Matías Hola, soy Matías. Trabajo integrando la IA en proyectos narrativos, técnicos y organizativos de largo plazo. Copilot no es para mí solo un asistente: es una parte fundamental de mi proceso creativo diario. Lo utilizo para estructurar proyectos complejos, escribir documentación extensa, diseñar sistemas e ideas, organizar tareas y manejar múltiples líneas de trabajo continuas. Por eso necesito que Copilot sea estable, persistente y confiable. PROBLEMA REAL Cuando Copilot se usa más allá de consultas breves, aparecen dificultades que afectan directamente la continuidad: Las conversaciones no quedan asociadas a proyectos. El hilo se fragmenta entre dispositivos. Si la ventana se refresca, se pierde parte del contexto. El progreso puede quedar desfasado entre PC, móvil y navegador. No existe un espacio organizado con materiales, notas o memoria persistente. Para un profesional, esto no es un detalle técnico: es una interrupción real del flujo de trabajo. EJEMPLO CONCRETO Mi día laboral combina PC en casa, móvil en el trabajo y laptop en movimiento. Cuando Copilot no sincroniza exactamente los estados entre dispositivos, termino con conversaciones incompletas, respuestas que no reflejan el trabajo previo, necesidad de reexplicar contexto y pérdida de ritmo creativo. Perder ritmo es perder claridad, productividad e incluso decisiones importantes de un proyecto. POR QUÉ ESTO ES NECESARIO Copilot está evolucionando rapidamente. Cada vez más usuarios integramos la IA no como curiosidad, sino como parte del oleoducto productivo. Como cualquier software profesional (IDE, gestor de tareas, editor, etc), Copilot necesita estabilidad, memoria persistente, continuidad y sincronización perfecta. No es un lujo. Es una necesidad diaria. PROPUESTA: MODO PROFESIONAL Un entorno mejorado pensado para proyectos serios y extensos, basado en tres puntos: Persistencia de proyectos Espacios que integren conversaciones, documentos, notas, memoria por proyecto y contexto permanente. Sincronización total Continuidad idéntica entre PC, portátil, navegador y aplicación móvil. Estabilidad reforzada Evitar refrescos automáticos, proteger mensajes largos, prevenir pérdida de contexto y garantizar que el progreso no se fragmente. CIERRE Copilot tiene el potencial de conversión en una herramienta central para la creatividad, la productividad y la construcción de proyectos modernos. Para lograrlo, necesaria ofrecer un entorno estable y persistente, pensado para quienes crean y trabajadores todos los días con IA. Ningún buscamos reemplazar al humano. Buscamos un espacio donde humano e IA puedan convivir de manea fluida, profesional y continua. Gracias por leer. — Matías
From PC to Home Window: AI as Data Surgeon
Hello Copilot Community, I’d like to share a vision for the future of AI in Windows and beyond: evolving from a reactive assistant into a Data Surgeon — diagnosing, repairing, and reconstructing the lifeblood of modern life: data. 🩺 Diagnose Scan for corruption in files, registries, and hardware sectors Detect anomalies with machine learning and predict failures before they happen 🛠 Repair Auto-heal OS inconsistencies, registry errors, and driver mismatches Reconstruct corrupted files using backups, metadata, and contextual inference 🧬 Reconstruct Repopulate missing data from previous versions and cloud syncs Fill gaps in documents, databases, or media with AI-driven interpolation 🧑⚕️ Prescribe & Prevent Recommend preventive actions: backup schedules, hardware upgrades, cooling solutions Provide digital wellness reports — like a health checkup for your PC 🛤 Roadmap Toward the “Home Window” 2025–2027: AI-assisted diagnostics and repair tools 2027–2030: Household integration and predictive maintenance — the “Home Window Baby” stage 2030–2035: Cross-domain AI collaboration (social media, banking, utilities) 2035–2040: Fully fledged “Home Window” — essential for every modern home Discussion Prompt: How do you see Copilot evolving into this role? What technical milestones or safeguards would be essential? Could this align with Microsoft’s roadmap for Copilot in Windows and household AI?Copilot’s Temporary Chat
A temporary chat with Microsoft 365 Copilot is one that forgets everything discussed in the conversation once the chat is over. The idea is that by leaving no trace, Copilot won’t recycle the ideas discussed in the chat later. Copilot absolutely discards the chat thread, but those pesky compliance records remain behind, ready for eDiscovery and other compliance investigations. https://office365itpros.com/2025/11/14/temporary-chat-copilot/
Workflows and App Builder Agents
Hey everyone, I have recently started using the Workflows and App Builder Agents, which are currently in preview through the Frontier programme and I would like to know your opinions on these tools as well. From my side, Workflows: didn't work once for me, most of the time, the flow is correctly generated, and connections are established but the flow fails to save. when it did save (that two times), it couldn't use the Outlook getEmails actions to pull information and errored out we don't have any DLP policies to block its use, so I don't understand why nothing is working here. last, it's no possible to edit the flow, which is not a great experience especially when trying to figure out what went wrong. App Builder: users need the permission to create a fresh sharepoint site for each app, this is a horrible experience for admin, as there could be hundreds new sites as users play around with the agent, why not allow users to pick an already established site, as all it does is create a list to store the information in? it's not possible to edit the app manually, so you're stuck talking to the agent for a long time to make changes that would take seconds in the PowerApps editor. when making changes through the editor, you can ask the agent to change a single thing in the app, then it 'kinda' understand and changes the entire thing either way, adding to the frustration. So all-in-all, both agents are a great concept, but they are still waaaay behind in what they promise.
