Why does Copilot stop answering?
Frequently when using Copilot, it will stop answering with a message insisting on a change of topic. These refusals to respond don't seem to be associated with the topic under discussion or any objectionable material, but are entirely random. Starting a new topic and restating the unanswered question just gives the same "change topic" message. The only fix is to shut Copilot down and try again later. Needless to say, this is suboptimal. Does anyone know what's going on around here and how to fix it?How To Reference Files Using Copilot In Word By Copy Pasting The URL
First off, I have no idea why what I'm about to type is not published in the existing Copilot in Word training materials produced by Microsoft. Nevertheless, if you are trying to use the pre-fetched files or trying to type in file names and they aren't showing up....here is how to get around all of that. Also, it does require some pre-work in step number 1 - but this is a one time deal. Search for clipboard settings in your Windows settings Tap the windows button on your keyboard and type clipboard...select "clipboard settings" Turn on "Clipboard History" to "On" if it isn't on already Navigate to the location of the file you want to reference (OneDrive/SharePoint) Open the details pane for the file and scroll down to the bottom to the "Path" section and click the icon. This copies the absolute URL (just the straight up path - no garbage included) to the file Repeat as necessary until you have up to 3 file paths copied Go to your Copilot prompt and type what you want to happen with the files you are about to reference from your clipboard (summarize, rewrite, create new file based on.....) Within that same prompt, hold down the windows button and press "V" This will bring up your clipboard history (if you followed the 1st step above correctly) Now you can paste in the URLs of the files you want to reference You will know the files were found/accepted after you hit the space bar as the URL will resolve into a hyperlink with the title of the file 3 files is currently the max you can reference in one prompt Yes this is a bit manual - however I see no other way to reference a file if it doesn't show up in the prefetch window or when you start typing the name of the file. Update! After you go through the steps above, when you come back later....typing out the file name seems to work. I guess there is some caching going on. Good luck and please let us know if this works for you!Announcing a Microsoft 365 Copilot and Bing Chat Enterprise AMA August 10th at 9 AM PT

Hi folks, After attending Microsoft Ignite Switzerland 2024, I have been thinking about the future of https://adoption.microsoft.com/en-us/copilot/ and how its capabilities could be enhanced with a proactive and predictive approach. Obviously, I understand the ability to create custom copilots, however, what I am referring to is, or could be, in a hypothetical future, various improvements baked in and activated by organization administrators. For instance, here are a couple of examples: Example 1: Based on the Microsoft Teams status on Monday morning, if a user signs in, proactively offer a recap of the previous week and an overview of the upcoming week, including days at the office and scheduled meetings. This should be done without even needing to ask the question. Example 2: Based on the Viva Engage profile activity, proactively offer recaps of items that might have been highlighted by communications managers or org-admins. Example 3: Based on the number of unanswered emails by the user prior to the end of the week, suggest a free time slot in Microsoft Teams to be blocked in their calendar. This will help wrap things up before the end of the week. Example 4: Based on the activation of the "office/remote" work location field in Microsoft Teams, offer the user the ability to postpone their office days if it's too crowded, or vice versa, encourage them to head to the office if their top 10 Microsoft Graph connections are already there. Example 5: Trigger Actions - it would be great to be able to connect with the entire desktop interface of the user, allowing us to open software programs, launch saved RPAs, and perform other actions as needed. Example 6: Custom keyboard shortcuts - Give collaborators the ability to save custom keyboard shortcuts to accelerate their time to value. For example, they could set up shortcuts like Ctrl + T for "Translate this". Example 7: Custom personas shortcuts - Give users the ability to save custom persona shortcuts to accelerate time-to-value. For example: Ctrl + Shift + R for 'Release Manager'. Example 8: Copilot profile section - Offer users a dedicated profile section where they can set up their conversation style, shortcuts, preferred languages, etc. Example 9: Microsoft vCard Integration - When a query is made in Copilot, such as @ user, offer a vCard on top of other information, including the profile picture. Example 10: Windows desktop application - Even if we can use Microsoft Teams floating window, it would be great to have the ability to pin an app in the Taskbar. Example 11: Predictive Document Collaboration - Anticipates who needs to collaborate on a document based on past interactions, suggesting collaborators and streamlining the process. Example 12: Security Guardian - Proactively identifies potential security threats and offers actionable recommendations to safeguard sensitive data. Example 13: https://marketplace.elgato.com/search?q=microsoft - Imagine having the ability to use daily physical shortcuts on your Stream Deck with a dedicated Copilot profile.
