copilot in loop
24 TopicsCopilot missing in Word, Excel and PowerPoint desktop apps of some users
Hi Everyone, At my company we're setting up copilot. After allowing access through the Admin Centers we've encountered various oddities. Some users can use the sharepoint/onedrive search functionality. But most can't. Some users have the Copilot button in some of their apps. There is no consistency in which app they get it. Some have it in word, others in excel, some in multiple, some in none. A handful of users have Copilot in all apps. Things like transcribe work fine everywhere. We switched intune to push Office apps with Current Channel instead of Semi-Annual, to no avail. We use M365 Business premium with the Teams phone standard addon.216Views0likes1Commentð Enhancing Arabic Language Support and Multilingual Intent Accuracy in Microsoft 365 Copilot
Hello Microsoft 365 Copilot Team, I would like to submit a formal proposal requesting an enhancement to the Arabic language experience and the multilingual intent-handling capabilities within Microsoft 365 Copilot. This proposal is based on practical observations across real usage scenarios in environments where users actively switch between Arabic and English for daily productivity tasks. 1. Background and Context Microsoft 365 Copilot has demonstrated exceptional performance in English-language workflows. However, in regions such as the Middle Eastâwhere a significant portion of users operate in bilingual environmentsâthere remain notable gaps in language interpretation, UI localization, and multilingual intent retention. Enhancing Arabic language capabilities would meaningfully improve accessibility and align Copilot with the linguistic diversity of Microsoftâs global user base. 2. Observed Challenges in Current Behavior While Copilot excels in English, several recurring issues appear when interacting in Arabic or mixed ArabicâEnglish contexts, including: Limited accuracy in understanding complex Arabic phrasing Reduced reliability when maintaining intent after switching languages within a single prompt Lower naturalness and structure in Arabic text generation when compared to English output Restricted availability of Arabic UI options for Copilot-specific interfaces Occasional misinterpretation of instructions containing blended terminology (Arabic user phrasing + English technical terms) These challenges collectively impact productivity and consistency for users who depend on Arabic as a primary working language. 3. Proposed Enhancements To ensure a more inclusive and reliable multilingual experience, the following improvements are recommended: 3.1 Full Arabic UI Support Across Copilot Surfaces Enable comprehensive Arabic interface options in all Copilot experiences, including Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, and online applications. 3.2 Improved Arabic Natural Language Processing Enhance Copilotâs ability to understand and process Arabic grammar structures, context, dialectal variations, and hybrid ArabicâEnglish prompts. 3.3 HighâQuality Arabic Text Generation Ensure outputs are clear, natural, and aligned with the stylistic expectations of native Arabic-speaking users. 3.4 Intelligent Multilingual Context Preservation Implement mechanisms that allow Copilot to maintain accurate intent when users transition between languages within the same instruction. 3.5 UserâControlled Language Preference Settings Provide configurable options enabling users to define preferred input and output languages on a per-application or global basis. 4. Anticipated Benefits Implementing these enhancements is expected to: Improve overall accessibility for Arabic-speaking users Strengthen productivity across bilingual workflows Expand the suitability of Copilot for enterprise and governmental organizations operating in Arabic-speaking regions Increase adoption and satisfaction within a key growth market Align Copilotâs capabilities with diverse global language expectations These improvements would strongly support Microsoftâs broader mission of delivering inclusive, globally relevant AI-driven experiences. 5. Closing Statement Thank you for taking the time to review this proposal. Advancing Arabic language support and strengthening multilingual intent handling would provide significant value to a large and growing segment of Microsoft 365 users. I appreciate your continued commitment to improving the Copilot experience for users worldwide.149Views0likes0CommentsThe Instruction Story â Prologue
Microsoft 365 apps are incredibly powerful. Yet within their intertwined features and ever-evolving UX/UI, users often get lost â overwhelmed by complexity and constant change. As a result, many people stop trying to truly understand, relying instead on Excel alone. This isnât just a workplace issue; itâs a challenge in classrooms as well, where learning often halts before understanding can take root. In my previous Tech Community post (Part 0), I wrote about the moment of ârealizationâ â the instant when understanding clicks into place. That experience led me to a new experiment: A userâs manual told as a story â âThe Instruction Story.â This story follows a traveler and a small fairy named Copilot, as they wander through the world of Microsoft 365 â sometimes lost, sometimes pausing â to learn how its structures and systems truly connect. At the end of this journey, you too may find yourself realizing something. What that is, we do not yet know. And so, The Instruction Story begins. I hope to grow this journey together with the people of Microsoft, as companions in understanding. â» This story is written by momotarou, from a userâs perspective. Some parts may feel unusual from a technical standpoint, but it is written with the utmost respect for âunderstandingâ as the heart of learning. å説ç©èª â ãŸããã â Microsoft 365 ã®åã¢ããªã¯éåžžã«åªããŠããŸãã ãããããã®é¢ä¿æ§ãè€éã«éãªãåãæ©èœã ãããŠé²åãç¶ãã UX/UI ã®äžã§ããŠãŒã¶ãŒã¯è¿·ããæã«æ··ä¹±ããæ°ã¥ãã°è¿·åã«ãªããã¡ã§ãã ãã®çµæãå€ãã®äººã ã¯çè§£ããããšããããããExcel ã«äŸåãç¶ããŠããŸãçŸç¶âŠã åã¢ããªã®åŠã³ã®äžæã¯ãè·å Žã ãã§ã¯ãªãæè²çŸå Žã§ãåãã§ãã 以åãç§ã¯ Tech Community ã® 0 匟ã§ãçè§£ããããã®æ°ã¥ããã«ã€ããŠæžããŸããã ããããã£ããã«ãç§ã¯æ°ããªè©Šã¿ãå§ããããšèããŸããã ãããââ **ç©èªãšããŠã®åæ±èª¬ææžãå説ç©èªã**ã§ãã ãã®ãå説ç©èªãã¯ãMicrosoft 365 ã®äžçãæ ããâæ äººâãšã å°ããªåŠç²Ÿâã³ãã€ãããâããæã«è¿·ããç«ã¡æ¢ãŸããªããã Microsoft ã®äžçã®ä»çµã¿ãæ§é ãåŠã¶ç©èªã§ãã æ ã®çµããã«ã¯ãããªããäœãã«æ°ã¥ããããããŸããã ãããäœãªã®ãã¯ãçŸæç¹ã§ã¯ããããŸããã ã§ã¯ãå説ç©èªã®éå¹ã§ãã Microsoft ã®çæ§ãšå ±ã«ããã®ç©èªãè²ãŠãŠãããã°ãšé¡ã£ãŠããŸãã â» ãã®ç©èªã¯ã@momotarou ãèŠã Microsoft ã®äžçããåŠã³äººã®èŠç¹ããæããæè²ç©èªã§ãã æè¡è ãéçºè ã®æ¹ããèŠããšã衚çŸãæ§æã«éåæãæããããšããããããããŸãããã çè ã¯ãŠãŒã¶ãŒã®ãçè§£ããæãéèŠããŠå·çããŠããŸããããããããäºæ¿ãã ããã64Views0likes0CommentsPart 7: Copilot Pages à Teams â One Screen, No More Switching
Switching apps kills meetings. Silence. Dead air. Mistakes. The cure? One screen. Copilot Pages à Teams = Zero switching. Prepare, run, wrap â all in Pages. âOpen once, close with confidence.â In Part 6, I proposed a âFeedback Dashboardâ to connect users and Microsoft in continuous improvement. Now in Part 7, letâs face the toughest meeting problem: constant app switching. On the other side of the screen, nobody sees whatâs happening â only waiting and broken focus. The solution is simple: donât switch at all. Copilot Pages becomes the single cockpit for meetings: 1.Before â prepare everything in one Page. 2.During â dynamic sidebar and Teams control box. 3.After â results sync back automatically. Benefits ⢠No more âWhereâs the file?â moments. ⢠No more dead air while someone fumbles with apps. ⢠Teams and Pages finally feel like one seamless cockpit. In short: âOpen Pages, run the meeting, close with confidence. No more switching.â Part One ends here â but my challenge to Microsoft is far from over. 第7匟ïŒCopilot Pages à Teams â ã¢ããªåæ¿ãŒãã®äŒè°äœéš äŒè°ãæ¢ããã®ã¯ãã¢ããªåæ¿ã æ²é»ãåŸ ã¡æéããã¹ã 解決ã¯ã·ã³ãã«ãç»é¢ã¯ã²ãšã€ã Copilot Pages à Teams = åæ¿ãŒãã æºåãé²è¡ãæ¯ãè¿ãããPagesã§å®çµã ãæ²é»ãŒããåæ¿ãŒããPagesãéãã°ãäŒè°ã¯æ¢ãŸããªããã 第6匟ã§ã¯ãFeedback Dashboardããææ¡ãããŠãŒã¶ãŒãšMicrosoftãå ±ã«æ¹åã§ããä»çµã¿ãæããŸããã ãããŠç¬¬7匟ã¯ãäŒè°ã§æãæ·±å»ãªåé¡ã«åã蟌ã¿ãŸãã ã¢ããªã®åæ¿ã«ããæ··ä¹±ãšãã¹ ã§ãã åå è ã«ã¯èŠããªãæ²é»ãšåŸ ã¡æéã æäœãã¹ãéãªããäŒè°ã®æµããæ¢ãŸãã 解決çã¯ãã ã²ãšã€ãåæ¿ããããããšã Copilot PagesãäŒè°ã®âåžä»€å¡âã«ããïŒ äŒè°å â è°é¡ãè³æãPagesã«éçŽããŠæºåã äŒè°äž â åçãµã€ãããŒïŒç¬¬3匟ïŒãšãTeamsæäœBOXãã§é²è¡ãå¶åŸ¡ã äŒè°åŸ â ææã¯èªåã§Teamsãã£ãã«ã«æ»ãã 广 ⢠ããã¡ã€ã«ã©ãïŒããæ¶ããã ⢠ã¢ããªåæ¿ã®æ²é»ããªããªãã ⢠TeamsãšPagesãå®å šã«èåããã²ãšã€ã®åžä»€å¡ã«ãªãã äžèšã§èšãã°ïŒ ãæ²é»ãŒããåæ¿ãŒããPagesãéãã°ãäŒè°ã¯æ¢ãŸããªããã 第1éšã¯ããã§äžåºåãã ã§ããMicrosoftãžã®ææŠã¯ãŸã çµãããªãã61Views0likes0CommentsPart 00 Extra: Criticism is Noise, Creation is Voice â See the People, Copilot Too
Recently, my Part 00 post was automatically hidden by the system. Even after revising the wording and reposting, it still didnât appear â until I contacted support and they helped publish it. I felt disappointed and frustrated. Many posts online tend to be negative or complaint-based. But my intention was different. Iâm someone who isnât fully comfortable with digital tools. Thatâs exactly why I want to help create a world where older or less-experienced users can also shine in the digital era. Itâs easy to filter by words. But when you try to describe the background, the problem, and the path to improvement, youâll inevitably use words that may sound ânegative.â If that alone stops voices from being heard, meaningful feedback disappears. In fact, this Extra chapter was originally planned to be posted earlier. However, Part 5 and Part 6 also got held in approval â a small âincident.â Before we turn voices into culture, those voices were stopped right at the entrance. Perhaps this, too, is a small design blind spot. The important thing is to judge not by words, but by people. That applies not only to Moderation, but also to the UX design of Copilot itself. Criticism is noise. Creation is voice. Turning these voices into culture â thatâs what changes the future. This is not a complaint, but a question for building a better culture. I create with you. ð Next: Main Story, Part 7 â stay tuned. 00匟 å€äŒïŒæ¹å€ã¯ãã€ãºãåµé ã¯å£° â 人ãèŠããCopilotã å æ¥ãç§ãæçš¿ãã00匟ãèªåã·ã¹ãã ã®å€æã§äžæçã«éå ¬éã«ãªã£ãã èšèãèŠçŽããŠåæçš¿ããŠãæ²èŒãããããµããŒãã«é£çµ¡ããŠããããå ¬éãããã ç§ã¯ãæ®å¿µã§æããã£ãã 確ãã«ãå€ãã®æçš¿ã¯èŠæ ããã¬ãã£ããªãã®ãå€ãã®ãããããªãã ããããç§ã®å£°ã¯éãã ç§ã¯ããžã¿ã«ã«äžæ £ããªç«å Žã ã ã ããããã幎é è ãåå¿è ã§ãããžã¿ã«äžçã§èŒããäžçãäœããããšé¡ã£ãŠããã ã¯ãŒãã§çžãããšã¯ç°¡åã ã ããããèæ¯ãåé¡ç¹ãæ¹åç¹ãèªãæç« ã«ã¯ãã©ãããŠãâãã¬ãã£ãã«èŠããèšèâãå«ãŸããã ããã ãã§å£°ãå±ããªãã®ã§ã¯ãæå³ããæèŠãæ¶ããŠããŸãã å®éããã®å€äŒãæ¬æ¥ã¯ãã£ãšæ©ãæçš¿ããäºå®ã ã£ãã ãšãããã第5匟ãšç¬¬6匟ãŸã§ããæ¿èªåŸ ã¡ã§æ¢ãŸãâå°äºä»¶âãçºçã ã€ãŸããã声ãæåã«ãããåã«ãæåã®å ¥å£ã§å£°ãæ¢ãããããšãããã¡ãã£ãšãããããã£ã®ãããªåºæ¥äºã«ãªã£ãã ããããŸããâèšèšã®ç²ç¹âãšããŠåãæ¢ããããšæãã 倧äºãªã®ã¯ãèšèã§ã¯ãªã人ãèŠãŠå€æããããšã ã ããã¯Moderationã ãã§ãªããCopilotã®UXèšèšã«ãèšããããšã ã æ¹å€ã¯ãã€ãºãåµé ã¯å£°ã ãã®å£°ãæåã«ããããšãããæªæ¥ãå€ããåã ã ããã¯æçŽã§ã¯ãªããæåãã€ããããã®åãããã ã 俺ã¯ãåãã¡ãšåµãã æ¬¡åïŒæ¬ç·šç¬¬7匟ããæ¥œãã¿ã«ã57Views0likes0CommentsPart 6: Feedback Dashboard â From Black Hole to Co-Creation
In earlier posts, I proposed ways to improve Copilot UX: ã»Part 1: Unifying Copilot (Pages / Toggle / Loop) ã»Part 2: A vertical sidebar for personal navigation ã»Part 3: A dynamic sidebar for meetings ã»Part 0: Microsoftâs approach to education (Vision â Storage â Apps) ã»Part 00: From team pride to user experience â Copilot Pages as the true entry point ã»Part 4: A metaphor of cloudy skies in Copilot Pages ã»Part 5: Prompt Library + Slash as a step toward all-in-one UX These shaped different parts of the experience. But proposals alone are not enough. We need a place where user voices donât vanish, but drive progress. The problem today Feedback in Microsoft 365 often feels like a one-way street: ã»No confirmation your voice was received ã»No way to see what others submitted ã»No clarity on what happened afterward When feedback feels unrewarding, people stop sharing ideas. Complaints and noise take over. The proposal: Feedback Dashboard Inside Copilot Pages â already the hub for files, knowledge, and conversations â feedback should also live. A Feedback Dashboard would: 1. List all feedback you submitted 2. Show clear status (received / under review / in progress / resolved) 3. Let users browse and upvote ð othersâ feedback 4. Give Microsoft a lightweight way to share progress and priorities Benefits ã»For users: Confidence their voice matters â joy of co-creation ã»For Microsoft: Beyond collecting voices â data-driven prioritization and smarter resource allocation ã»For everyone: Copilot Pages becomes the hub where experience and improvement connect Conclusion Feedback? Sure, it exists today. But letâs be honest â a lonely text box is just a digital trash bin. We donât need another place to complain. We need a Feedback Dashboard: a system that transforms scattered voices into visible action. Old idea? Maybe. New execution? Absolutely. Because progress only happens when feedback stops being a black hole. And in this age of diversity, UX/UI must not be designed by Microsoft alone. We must listen to all people â seniors, beginners, digital natives. Design must be intuitive enough that even those less experienced can join. Only then can Microsoft 365 expand its foundation and build a future of coexistence and co-prosperity between humans and AI. ð Your voice matters. Your vote can shape the future of Microsoft 365.

TL;DR: Library = foundation, Slash = acceleration, 365 expansion = vision. The Problem We reuse the same prompts (summaries, draft replies, comparisons), but they get buried in chat history. Copy-paste is clumsyâespecially for digital beginners. ðAs developers, we must design inclusivity + efficiency into Copilot. 1) Prompt Library in the Sidebar (for beginners, explained to developers) Save directly from chat Organize by category One-click insert Purpose: support beginners and seniors who struggle with bookmarks or copy-paste. For developers, this is the inclusivity baselineâwithout it, a large segment is left behind. 2) Slash Commands (for experienced users, including developers) /summary â instant draft in Word /diagram â structure in PowerPoint /reply â email text in Outlook Excel: handled via a command palette outside the cell (e.g., Ctrl+/) to avoid input conflicts. Why it matters (dev): Proven Loop â/â mechanism â technically low lift Keeps advanced users in flow High ROI: minimal engineering, massive UX payoff 3) Expand Slash Across Microsoft 365 Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, Excel. Unified command style = unified Copilot UX. ð Thatâs what makes Copilot the true all-in-one entry point. Why It Matters Inclusivity: Library ensures no one is excluded Efficiency: Slash preserves flow for advanced users Unified UX: consistent across all 365 apps Cost-effective: small feature, outsized impact ð Next step for devs: prototype Library (save/insert) + basic Slash picker in Word, using the Loop â/â pattern.

In Part 0, I shared my personal motivation from an education experience. Building on that, here I want to highlight another reason â the fragmentation of Microsoft 365. The Problem The boundaries between apps are too strong, so to users they appear as completely separate worlds. The Challenge If this siloed culture continues, even new features will not solve the root issue â they will only add more complexity. My Proposal (Parts 1â3) Thatâs why I made my proposals in Part 1â3: Part 1: Simplify Copilot fragmentation Part 2: Vertical navigation to prevent getting lost Part 3: Dynamic sidebar for meetings Feasibility This is not an impossible idea. With Graph API and Fluent UI, plus existing side panels (e.g., Teams), unified lists, switching, and a meeting sidebar can all be implemented. Itâs mainly integration and UX alignment, which makes it low-cost and high-impact. My Ask So please, prioritize user experience over team pride. If Copilot Pages becomes the true all-in-one entry point, Microsoftâs technology will shine even brighter â and users will finally say: âThis is exactly what weâve been waiting for.â ð Next: Part 4, âThoughts Under a Cloudy Skyâ, to explore the future vision. 00匟ïŒã¡ã³ããããŠãŒã¶ãŒäœéšã â Copilot Pagesãå ¥å£ã« 0匟ã§ã¯ãèªåã®æè²äœéšããã®âãã£ããâãæžããŸããã ãã®å»¶é·ç·äžã§ãããäžã€ã®çç±ââMicrosoft 365ã®åæåé¡ã«ã€ããŠæŽçããŸãã Microsoftã®åé¡ç¹ ã¢ããªããšã®å¢çã匷ãããŠããŠãŒã¶ãŒããã¯âå¥ã ã®äžçâã«èŠããŠããŸãã Microsoftã®èª²é¡ ãã®ã瞊å²ãæåããç¶ãã°ãæ°æ©èœãåºããŠãæ ¹æ¬çãªè§£æ±ºã«ã¯ãªãããããã£ãŠè€éããå¢ãã ãã§ãã ç§ã®ææ¡ïŒç¬¬1ã3åŒŸïŒ ã ããããç§ã¯ã第1匟ã第3åŒŸã®ææ¡ãåºããŸããã 第1匟ïŒCopilotä¹±ç«ã®æŽç 第2匟ïŒçžŠã¹ã¯ããŒã«UIã§è¿·å鲿¢ 第3匟ïŒäŒè°UXã®é²åïŒåçãµã€ãããŒïŒ ææ¡å®çŸã®å¯èœæ§ ããã¯å®çŸäžå¯èœãªè©±ã§ã¯ãããŸããã Graph API ãš Fluent UIããããŠæ¢åã®ãµã€ãããã«ïŒäŸïŒTeamsïŒãçµã¿åãããã°ãçµ±äžãªã¹ãïŒåæ¿ãäŒè°ãµã€ãããŒã¯å®è£ ã§ããŸãã èŠã¯ çµ±åãšUXæŽç ã§ãããäœã³ã¹ãã»é«å¹æã§ãã æåŸã«ãé¡ã ã©ãããã¡ã³ããããŠãŒã¶ãŒäœéšãæåªå ã«ããŠãã ããã Copilot Pagesãæ¬åœã®ãªãŒã«ã€ã³ã¯ã³å ¥å£ã«ãªãã°ãMicrosoftã®æè¡ã¯ããã«èŒãããŠãŒã¶ãŒã¯ããèšãã§ãããã ããããããç§ãã¡ãæ±ããŠãããã®ã ããšã ð æ¬¡ã¯ç¬¬4匟ããæãç©ºã«æ³ãããšã ã§ãããã«æªæ¥åãæããŸãã40Views0likes0CommentsPart 3: Dynamic Sidebar for Team Meetings
In Part 2, I focused on the vertical sidebar UX for personal work â helping individuals stay organized and avoid confusion. But in meetings, the challenge is even bigger: participants open different files, the view fragments, and the team quickly loses alignment. Iâve tested this myself by lining up apps in the current sidebar. But that model is essentially personal: files still open in separate windows, there is no unity, and meetings feel disrupted. Thatâs why Part 3 introduces a dedicated dynamic sidebar for meetings. With Copilot Pages as the hub, this sidebar integrates all participantsâ files into one vertical scroll: Shared visibility â instantly see what others are viewing. No interruptions â because all participantsâ files are shared, thereâs no need to stop and search. Continuous flow â no screen switching; one unified view where discussion never derails. The breakthrough is clear: you never have to close the meeting screen. All participantsâ files remain visible, and even files opened later are added automatically without disrupting the presenter. Benefits Meetings run without disruption; context is never lost. Alignment is automatic: the entire team stays in sync. This is not a minor UI tweak â it redefines how meetings work. ð In short: âDynamic Sidebar â Zero interruptions. Meetings with full unity.â If you agree, please give it a like. ð Next time, Iâll share my thoughts on how we should approach learning Microsoft 365. 第3匟ïŒäŒè°ã®äžäœæãçã â åçãµã€ãããŒã®ææ¡ 第2匟ã§ã¯ãå人ã¯ãŒã¯ã«ããã瞊åã¹ã¯ããŒã«UXãåãäžããæŽçããããæ··ä¹±ãé²ãæ¹æ³ãææ¡ããŸããã ãããäŒè°ã«ãªããšèª²é¡ã¯ããã«å€§ãããªããåå è ããšã«ç°ãªããã¡ã€ã«ãéããŠå šäœã®è¶³äžŠã¿ãä¹±ããŠããŸããŸãã ç§èªèº«ããæ¢åã®ãµã€ãããŒã«ã¢ããªã䞊ã¹ãŠè©ŠããŠã¿ãŸããã ãããããã¯ãããŸã§ãå人çšãã®ä»çµã¿ã§ããã¡ã€ã«ã¯å¥ãŠã£ã³ããŠã§éããŠããŸãããäžäœæããªããäŒè°äžã«åæãçããŠããŸããŸãã ã ããããå¿ èŠãªã®ãã**äŒè°å°çšã®ãåçãµã€ãããŒã**ã§ãã Copilot Pagesãæ¯èŠãšããåå è å šå¡ã®ãã¡ã€ã«ãäžã€ã®çžŠã¹ã¯ããŒã«ã«çµ±åããããšã§ãäŒè°ç»é¢ãéããããšãªããåžžã«åãèŠçã§æ å ±ãå ±æã§ããŸãã å ±æèŠç â 誰ãã©ã®è³æãèŠãŠãããå šå¡ãææ¡ã§ããã äžæé²æ¢ â å šå¡ã®ãã¡ã€ã«ãå ±æãããŠãããããæ¢ããšããäžæããªããªãã éåããªãé²è¡ â äŒè°ç»é¢ã®åãæ¿ãããªããåžžã«åãèŠçã§ã¹ãã¬ã¹ãªãè°è«ãç¶ããããã æå€§ã®é²åã¯ããã§ããäŒè°ç»é¢ãäžåºŠãéããå¿ èŠããªãããšã ããã«éäžã§éããè³æãèªåçã«è¿œå ããããããé²è¡ã劚ããŸããã 广 äŒè°ã®æµããæ¢ãŸãããæèãèŠå€±ããªãã å šå¡ãåžžã«åæãã足䞊ã¿ãä¹±ããªãã ããã¯åãªãUIæ¹åã§ã¯ãªããäŒè°ã®ããæ¹ãã®ãã®ãå€ããææ¡ã§ãã ð äžèšã§èšãã°: ãåçãµã€ãã㌠â äžæãŒããäŒè°ã®äžäœæãå®çŸã å ±æããã ããæ¹ã¯ãã²ãããããããé¡ãããŸãã ð æ¬¡åã¯ãMicrosoft 365ã®åŠã³æ¹ã»æè²ã«é¢ããç§ã®æ³ã ãæžããããšæããŸãã36Views0likes0CommentsPart 2: Vertical Sidebar for Personal Copilot Navigation
In Part 1, I proposed a simple model to unify Copilot: General tasks â Copilot Pages Specialized use â Toggle Save and recall â Loop This helped simplify the fragmented Copilot landscape. In Part 2, I focus on personal daily use. When working in Word, Excel, or Outlook, many users lose track of what they have opened and where to switch. My idea: add a static vertical sidebar in Copilot Pages that lists the files or apps you are working with: Self-organized list - Word docs, Excel sheets, Outlook mails and calendar items shown vertically in one place. No confusion - Instantly switch between targets without hunting around. Clear and simple - Prevents getting lost during solo work. The key is that Copilot Pages must remain visible as the entry point during daily work â a persistent sidebar that never disappears. And importantly, the number of items displayed can be set by the user. Hidden apps remain accessible by scrolling, keeping the UI clean and flexible. Benefits Daily work feels more organized and stress-free. Matches patterns users already know (Outlook folders, Teams channels). A realistic, easy-to-implement step toward better Copilot UX. In short: "Vertical Sidebar = No more confusion for individuals." If you agree, please give it a like.
