Seeking Guidance on Microsoft 365 Copilot Adoption Support for an Enterprise Customer
Hi Everyone, We are a newly enrolled Microsoft partner currently working with a customer to accelerate Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption across their organization. We are exploring how we can best support the customer and would like to understand whether there are any Microsoft programs, resources, partner managers, or engagement channels available to help us collaborate with Microsoft on Copilot adoption opportunities. Could anyone advise on: The recommended Microsoft channel/team to engage for an enterprise Copilot adoption opportunity Any Microsoft programs or resources available to support customer adoption How partners can collaborate with Microsoft for customer-specific Copilot adoption support Any guidance on the appropriate Microsoft team, program, or point of contact would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Free, read-only PowerShell tool to find SharePoint oversharing before enabling Copilot
The first time I pointed my own tool at a tenant, it found three sites the whole company could open. A search center was one of them. Nobody had shared them on purpose. They came that way, and Copilot would have read every one. That is the thing people ask before a Copilot rollout. What will it actually surface. Copilot only returns what a user can already open, so the real exposure is the broad access that was already there. The Everyone and Everyone except external users grants. The anonymous and organization-wide links nobody remembers making. Microsoft has reports for this and they sit inside the paid SharePoint Advanced Management add-on. For teams without that license I put together a free open-source PowerShell module that answers the same question. Sharing it here in case it helps someone planning a rollout. What it does Get-EveryoneAccess finds every place the Everyone and EEEU claims grant access, on one site or the whole tenant. Get-OversharedContent finds the anonymous Anyone links and the organization-wide links. It reads them from the hidden SharingLinks groups instead of walking every file, so it stays quick on a big tenant. Invoke-CopilotReadinessAssessment runs both, scores the exposure out of 100, and writes an HTML readiness scorecard you can hand to your security team. Install Install-Module CopilotGovernance -Scope CurrentUser It is read only. It reports, it never changes anything. It needs PowerShell 7 and PnP.PowerShell and your own Entra app client id, because PnP 3.x no longer ships its own sign-in app. It also reports coverage, so a site it could not read is flagged and never counted as clean. Being upfront about the limits today. It scans each site and its lists, and subwebs are still on the roadmap. Links created as Flexible on the newer sharing experience can be under-counted, so pass -IncludeSpecific to review every link. The module is on the PowerShell Gallery at powershellgallery.com/packages/CopilotGovernance and the code is on GitHub at github.com/gvijaikumar9/CopilotGovernance Feedback and edge cases welcome.

Skills are specialized instruction sets that tell Copilot Cowork exactly how to think, act, and respond for a specific task. There are two types: Out-of-the-box skills – built and maintained by Microsoft and Anthropic, automatically invoked based on conversation context (~13 available currently) Custom skills – instruction sets you write yourself, defining a specific process, format, and set of standards for Cowork to follow every time the skill is triggered Custom skills are really where Cowork starts to feel less like a generic assistant and more like a tool built around how you actually work. Once a skill is defined, Cowork applies the same process, format, and standards every time it's triggered, so you're not re-explaining your requirements in every conversation.
