Copilot Prompt recommendation disappear in Word Online
Hi everyone, I’ve noticed that the Copilot prompt recommendation no longer appears in Word Online. Normally, when I type "prepare," I see a suggested prompt, but now I only see my prompt history. In the MS365 app, however, the recommendations still appear. I’ve confirmed that I have an active full Copilot license and that all MS products are updated. Has Microsoft removed this feature, or is there a setting I can enable to restore it? This feature is very helpful for quickly generating accurate prompts. Thanks in advance!
Copilot and large documents
I have a very large document. It is over 67000 words and over 200 pages. I tried to use the embedded copilot and it is worthless. The response time when it responds to a conversation is minutes. The response is one word at a time. It can take 5-10 minutes to repeat a long paragraph. I have used the free copilot app and copy/past back and forth. This works great until my conversation is truncated. Then copilot loses context around my document and the responses become almost useless without telling it what to do word for word. I am writing a novel. After truncation, it does not know any character names. Their personalities, anything. I get tons of sequence errors and logic issues. I can use it for a few days and get it working great. Then the conversation is truncated and I have to start over again. I tried attaching my document to the copilot app. I get a message that the content is too dark. It is about a young girl who is burned in a fire and how she succeeds after that. No cusswords, no graphic sex. Just the scene of escaping from a fire and getting burned. I really am not finding copilot as useful as it could be if I had space to save conversations.
Part 2: Vertical Sidebar for Personal Copilot Navigation
In Part 1, I proposed a simple model to unify Copilot: General tasks → Copilot Pages Specialized use → Toggle Save and recall → 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 — 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. Stay tuned for Part 3! 第2弾：個人作業の迷子防止 ― 縦スクロールUIの提案 第1弾では、Copilot乱立を整理するシンプルなモデル（Pages／トグル／Loop）を提案しました。 多くの方から「すっきりした」と共感をいただきました。 今回の第2弾では、個人で作業するときのUX改善に注目します。 WordやExcel、Outlookを開いているとき、「どこで何を開いたのか」迷子になる経験はありませんか？ そこで、Copilot Pagesに静的な縦スクロール型サイドバーを導入するアイデアです: 自分専用の一覧 - Word文書やExcelシート、Outlookメールや予定を右サイドに縦並びで整理。 迷子防止 - 読みたい対象にすぐ切り替え可能。 シンプル設計 - 日常業務でのストレスを軽減。 さらに重要なのは、Copilot Pagesが常に入口として存在し続けることです。 仕事中に消えず、右サイドに固定されているからこそ「迷子ゼロ」の体験が実現します。 加えて、表示数はユーザーが任意に設定可能です。 隠れているアプリもスクロールで選べるので、UIは常にすっきり保てます。 効果 日常業務がスッキリし、シンプルに整理できる。 OutlookやTeamsと同じ縦並び習慣に合う直感的なUI。 現実的かつ早期に導入できる改善案。 一言で言えば: 「縦スクロールUI＝個人作業の迷子ゼロ」 共感いただける方はぜひ「いいね」をお願いします。 次回、第3弾にご期待ください！🚀 A Proposal to Eliminate Copilot Fragmentation and Unify the UX Body (English first)
Currently in Microsoft 365, there are multiple entry points for Copilot — Copilot Pages, app-specific Copilots, and Copilot in Loop. This fragmentation often confuses users about which Copilot to use and where the outputs are saved. I propose a simple unification: １．General-purpose Copilot → Copilot Pages only Even when opening Word/Excel/Outlook/Loop via the sidebar, all interactions are handled by the Copilot in Copilot Pages. ２．Specialized Copilot → Toggle switch Add a toggle at the top of Copilot Pages ("General <-> Specialized") to switch into app-specific Copilot functions only when needed. ３．Save format → Standardize to Loop files All generated content is saved as .loop files in OneDrive/SharePoint and can be directly opened in the Loop app. Benefits Eliminates confusion caused by Copilot fragmentation → more intuitive UX. Users only decide "general or specialized" → very simple flow. Future apps can be added via the sidebar → high scalability. 👉 In short: “General = Pages, Specialized = Toggle, Save = Loop” This would greatly simplify and improve the Copilot experience.

Copilot in PowerPoint: Status of Word-from-OneDrive Feature for Personal Accounts
I’m trying to get clarity on the availability of a particular Copilot capability in PowerPoint for personal Microsoft accounts. From Microsoft’s guidance, Copilot Pro users with personal (non-work) accounts should have the option to build a presentation directly from a Word file stored in OneDrive. This is reportedly done by selecting a paperclip icon or entering “/” in the Create a presentation command to choose the Word document. Here’s what I’m experiencing: - In both PowerPoint desktop and web, there’s no paperclip icon, and typing “/” doesn’t surface any OneDrive files. - In Word for the web, I can connect to a document, but the desktop version doesn’t provide this option. - I’ve seen mixed reports online—some say it’s working, others suggest it’s only live for Microsoft 365 Insider builds or specific regions. I’d like to know: 1. Is this feature currently active for all personal accounts with Copilot Pro? 2. Could it be restricted to certain build versions, Insider channels, or geographic areas? 3. Are there prerequisites (AutoSave, file location in OneDrive, privacy settings, etc.) needed to make the option appear? Any official confirmation on whether this is rolled out globally and the exact requirements would be very helpful.Using Microsoft Copilot in Word to Write Faster and Smarter
