Can Copilot help write better performance review comments?
We just finished our mid-year review cycle and the feedback quality from managers was honestly terrible. Lots of gems like "100%" or “Fully agree“. Someone on my team suggested using Copilot to help managers draft better feedback but I'm not sure how that would work practically. Like where would the AI even pull context from?
Copilot OneDrive and Teams Integration useless for PDFs of scanned documents
Hi, I have this ubiquitous Copilot button everywhere in OneDrive, Teams, SharePoint, you name it. But Everytime I use the suggested „Summarise this file“ button of a PDF document that contains scanned pages Copilot complains that the images are very low resolution and nothing meaningful can be extracted. But when I let Copilot analyse the exact same file in the pure Copilot view everything works fine. After some lengthy conversations with Copilot it admits, that it only access the complete file when the Copilot view is used. In all other views using Copilot only works on the preview images that are created of the file when uploaded. That explains why the images to analyse are of a too low resolution to do OCR and why on some files only the first page gets processed. Why is Copilot integrated in that way? I expect Copilot to always work on the original file for any request I do. Especially when Copilot is promoted everywhere and I’m constantly nagged to get a summary or FAQ of a selected file. The way it currently works would be better removed or -better- just redirect with the selected file into Copilot view. Cheers
Can I set up an automated employee recognition system with copilot?
My manager asked me to look into whether Copilot can help us build some kind of employee recognition program inside Teams. It could include anniversary and birthday recognitions, or even recognitions sent based on achievements and milestones? Can I connect it with Praise? Or set up automations with power automate? Am I overengineering something I can pawn of to something third party?
What’s New in Microsoft 365 Copilot | May 2026
Welcome to the May 2026 edition of What's New in Microsoft 365 Copilot! Every month, we highlight new features and enhancements to keep Microsoft 365 admins up to date with Copilot features that help your users be more productive and efficient in the apps they use every day.Spent hours trying to build an employee feedback workflow with Power Automate
Someone on our leadership team asked if we could set up a system where employees can give each other continuous feedback through Teams. I spent the last two days trying to build this with Power Automate + Forms + SharePoint and honestly its a mess. The form submissions dont tie back to employee profiles cleanly, theres no good way to aggregate feedback per person over time. Is there a more elegant way to handle continuous feedback within the M365 stack?Copilot and DLP policy behaviours
Hi Copilot Brain Trust, Looking for some real-world experiences with Microsoft 365 Copilot DLP enforcement. We've implemented a DLP policy targeting the Microsoft 365 Copilot location with the action to prevent Copilot from processing content that contains our sensitivity label (restricted). The implementation is based on the following Microsoft documentation: DLP for Microsoft 365 Copilot: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/dlp-microsoft365-copilot-location-learn-about Create DLP policies for Microsoft 365 Copilot: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/dlp-microsoft365-copilot Microsoft documentation states that when a DLP policy blocks Copilot processing, protected content should not be processed or used in Copilot-generated responses (although citations may still appear). However, during testing we're observing scenarios where Copilot appears to access/process provide restricted snippet with file names from content that should be protected by the DLP policy. A few questions for anyone who has implemented this in production: Have you successfully validated DLP policies preventing Copilot from summarising sensitivity-labelled content? Are there any known delays between policy deployment and enforcement? Have you observed differences between Copilot Chat and Copilot experiences within Word, Excel, or PowerPoint? Are there any prerequisites, limitations, or known issues not currently reflected in the public documentation? I'm interested to hear whether others have seen similar behaviour or have successfully validated this scenario end-to-end. Thanks in advance.
