Use Copilot with Microsoft ToDo
It would be great if I could have Microsoft Copilot Pro talk to and be able to query these few responses. 1. What are my important task that I am missing? 2. What task do I need to focus on in the next few days? 3. Look at this project/doc/sharepoint file and add additional task to my ToDo that isn't currently on my list.
Location of custom skills - cannot find them in OneDrive
I'm using Copilot Cowork to create skills, and Cowork insists the skills are being saved in OneDrive>Documents>Cowork>skills but I cannot find them in there. I cannot find the raw MD files anywhere in OneDrive, and Cowork can only surface them when I ask to see them. Anyone else experienced this and have the answer? I need to be able to create Cowork Skills and store them in a central repository for the team to use. #coworkCopilot Feedback - Power User Experience Improvements
As a frequent Copilot user for technical discussions, architecture, governance, Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and problem-solving activities, I would like more control over the user experience. Copilot has become a daily productivity tool, but several UI and usability improvements would significantly benefit advanced users. 1. Allow Disabling Suggested Follow-Up Prompts The suggested replies shown below every response may be useful for new users, but for experienced users they often add little value and consume screen space. Please provide an option to: Disable suggested prompts entirely Adjust their frequency or aggressiveness Enable them only for new conversations or learning scenarios 2. Make '/' and '@' Shortcuts Configurable The automatic triggering of slash commands and @ mentions while typing can be disruptive and may interrupt or replace text unexpectedly. Please allow users to: Disable these shortcuts Configure alternative trigger characters Require a keyboard shortcut before activating them 3. Add a Power User Mode Consider introducing a dedicated Power User Mode featuring: No suggested prompts Reduced UI clutter Compact layouts Fewer interruptions while typing Advanced customization options A productivity-focused experience 4. Compact Conversation View Long technical conversations can become difficult to navigate due to excessive spacing and scrolling. Please provide: A compact view option Reduced vertical whitespace More conversation content visible on screen 5. Conversation Search Many conversations contain valuable information that users want to revisit later. Please add the ability to: Search within a conversation Search code snippets and formulas Search by date or topic Quickly jump to matching results 6. Pin Important Messages Allow users to pin key answers, code snippets, formulas, decisions, or reference messages within a conversation so they can be easily found later. 7. Enhanced Copy Experience For technical users working with Power Apps, Power Automate, SQL, PowerShell, and other technologies: One-click copy for all code and formulas Preserve formatting during copy operations Support copying multiple related blocks together 8. User-Defined Response Profiles Allow users to create and switch between response styles such as: Technical Troubleshooting Power User Learning Mode Executive Summary Architecture Review This would reduce the need to repeatedly explain personal preferences. 9. Memory Transparency and Management Allow users to: View all stored memories and preferences Edit or delete individual memory items Temporarily disable specific memories Understand which memories are influencing responses This would improve transparency and trust. Summary Copilot is evolving from a simple chat tool into a professional productivity platform. Providing greater control over the interface, shortcuts, suggestions, memory, and conversation management would allow experienced users to tailor the experience to their workflow while preserving the current experience for those who prefer more guidance. Thank you for considering these improvements.
What the hack is a "Microsoft 365 Copilot Bizchat"?
I am taking a training course on learn.microsoft and this word "Microsoft 365 Copilot Bizchat" just came out of nowhere... I went few slides/pages of the training course and even googled it but there is no definition or clarification of it either sigh... What is that
Copilot in OneNote cannot access content in sidebar (Microsoft 365 Premium)
a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; } Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone from the OneNote or Copilot team can help with an issue that has prevented me from using Copilot in OneNote for approximately two months despite having an active Microsoft 365 Premium subscription. Issue Copilot can detect that a OneNote page is open, but it cannot access or read the contents of the page. For example, if I open a page named 1Cor4:1-16.onepart or create a brand-new test page, Copilot acknowledges that the page exists but responds with something similar to: "I can see that the file is open, but I cannot access the note contents." As a result, Copilot cannot summarize, analyze, answer questions about, or otherwise interact with the contents of the current page. Environment Microsoft 365 Premium (Personal Subscription) OneNote for Microsoft 365 Version 2608 Build 16.0.20326.20100 (64-bit) Windows Desktop Notebooks stored in and synced through OneDrive Troubleshooting Completed I have already performed extensive troubleshooting, including: Verifying my Microsoft 365 Premium subscription is active Verifying I am signed into the correct Microsoft account Signing out and back into Office and OneNote Confirming notebooks are syncing properly Updating Office and OneNote to the latest version Restarting OneNote and Windows multiple times Creating brand-new notebooks and test pages Testing across multiple days and sessions The issue is fully reproducible on both existing notebooks and newly created notebooks. Microsoft Support Findings I have already worked directly with Microsoft Support. A support technician remotely connected to my computer and reviewed my configuration. They confirmed that Copilot in OneNote should be functioning in my environment. During the support session they performed multiple troubleshooting and repair actions, including uninstalling and reinstalling components, repairing Office, and verifying account and licensing status. Despite all of this, the problem remained unchanged. The technician indicated that the issue appears to be on the Copilot/OneNote side rather than being caused by my local setup. Since they were unable to resolve it, they recommended that I post here in the Microsoft Tech Community to seek further escalation and visibility. Questions Has anyone else experienced an issue where Copilot can see the currently open OneNote page but cannot access the page contents? Is there a known service-side, provisioning, or feature-rollout issue that could cause this behavior? Is there a way to escalate this directly to the OneNote or Copilot engineering teams? At this point, I've been paying for the feature for roughly two months and have not been able to use the core OneNote Copilot functionality at all. Any assistance or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.Copilot pain points....
Guys… seriously… we need some improvements here. I’m not asking Copilot to solve quantum physics or decode alien transmissions. I’m asking a Microsoft program for help with a Microsoft program. You’d think that would be the one scenario where Copilot would shine, right? Like, “Ah yes, my home turf, allow me to demonstrate competence.” But no. I can’t even get Copilot to correctly explain how to do basic SharePoint tasks. BASIC. As in, “click the thing, then click the other thing.” Instead I get a TED Talk about SharePoint philosophy and a guided meditation on patience. And then there’s the folder comparison fiasco. I want Copilot to do something so simple it should practically be a reflex: Compare two folders on my hard drive and tell me if they’re identical. Copilot’s response? “Absolutely, I can do that!” Followed immediately by an ever‑expanding scavenger hunt of things I apparently need to do first. It’s like asking someone to hand you a screwdriver and they say, “Sure, but first you’ll need to assemble this IKEA shelving unit, install three dependencies, sacrifice a goat, and agree to a quest.” I’m glad to hear you’re merging all the copilots into one “super Copilot.” Great idea. Fantastic. But let’s be honest — I’m praying the one that survives is the personal Copilot, because Copilot 365… whew. That thing feels like it was built by a committee that communicates exclusively through interpretive dance. And don’t even get me started on the wrapper versions. Those are like Copilot wearing a Halloween costume of itself, but the costume is made of cardboard and disappointment. And by the way — I’m STILL waiting for Copilot to create an app or program that automatically files my Outlook emails into folders. This is not a moon landing. This is not a Mars rover. This is not a Nobel Prize category. This is a simple, everyday, normal-person task. Yet somehow Copilot treats it like I’ve asked it to build the next Windows release from scratch using only a spoon and positive thinking. Come on, guys. We love the vision. We love the potential. But the basics need to work before the magic tricks do.
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?
