Best practical Microsoft Copilot / Agentic AI certification?
Hi everyone, I recently completed AB-730 (Drive AI Transformation in Your Organization) and really enjoyed the practical, business-focused approach. I'm now looking for a more advanced certification, learning path, or hands-on resource, especially around: Microsoft 365 Copilot with Cowork Copilot Studio AI Agents / Agentic AI Multi-agent scenarios Enterprise governance and implementation So far, AB-730 has been one of the most practical Microsoft trainings I've taken. What would you recommend as the next step for someone looking to go deeper into the agentic AI space within the Microsoft ecosystem? Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

[Japan region] Copilot Cowork not showing in the agents list despite all settings enabled
Hello, I'm based in Japan and my tenant region is Japan. I'm trying to enable the now-GA Copilot Cowork for my tenant, but Cowork does not appear in the agents list in the Microsoft 365 admin center, so I can't deploy it. Environment: Location / tenant region: Japan License: Microsoft 365 Copilot (assigned to target users and the admin account) All prerequisites appear to be in place and verified: Anthropic (AI provider acting as a Microsoft subprocessor): enabled Usage-based billing (Copilot Credits): enabled Discovery setting "AI experiences enabled by usage-based billing": set to allow users to discover and use Issue: Even with all of the above enabled, searching for "Cowork" under Integrated Apps → All agents returns no result. It also does not appear under Copilot → Settings → View all. As a result, I cannot deploy it to users, and Cowork does not show up for users at m365.cloud.microsoft either. Questions: Is there any additional setting required to make Cowork appear in the agents list? For a tenant in the Japan region, if there is a delay before the Cowork agent is provisioned after GA, what is the typical timeframe, and is there a way to check the rollout status for my tenant? Is there a specific admin role (e.g., AI Administrator) I should double-check on the account performing these steps? If anyone in the Japan region has resolved the same issue, I'd appreciate hearing how. Thank you.Live AMA: Understanding Copilot Cowork and managing Copilot credits

Two recent changes to the Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat app have made the app easier to use. Interaction persistence is better, meaning that chat threads are always created and available to go back to if necessary, and Copilot memory is managed more easily. Copilot memory is an intensely personal capability. If you spend the time to figure out the instructions that Copilot should always remember, the quality of Copilot responses will be much better. https://office365itpros.com/2026/06/29/copilot-memory-updates/Copilot, Microsoft 365 & Power Platform Community call

As a frequent Copilot user for technical discussions, architecture, governance, Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and problem-solving activities, I would like more control over the user experience. Copilot has become a daily productivity tool, but several UI and usability improvements would significantly benefit advanced users. 1. Allow Disabling Suggested Follow-Up Prompts The suggested replies shown below every response may be useful for new users, but for experienced users they often add little value and consume screen space. Please provide an option to: Disable suggested prompts entirely Adjust their frequency or aggressiveness Enable them only for new conversations or learning scenarios 2. Make '/' and '@' Shortcuts Configurable The automatic triggering of slash commands and @ mentions while typing can be disruptive and may interrupt or replace text unexpectedly. Please allow users to: Disable these shortcuts Configure alternative trigger characters Require a keyboard shortcut before activating them 3. Add a Power User Mode Consider introducing a dedicated Power User Mode featuring: No suggested prompts Reduced UI clutter Compact layouts Fewer interruptions while typing Advanced customization options A productivity-focused experience 4. Compact Conversation View Long technical conversations can become difficult to navigate due to excessive spacing and scrolling. Please provide: A compact view option Reduced vertical whitespace More conversation content visible on screen 5. Conversation Search Many conversations contain valuable information that users want to revisit later. Please add the ability to: Search within a conversation Search code snippets and formulas Search by date or topic Quickly jump to matching results 6. Pin Important Messages Allow users to pin key answers, code snippets, formulas, decisions, or reference messages within a conversation so they can be easily found later. 7. Enhanced Copy Experience For technical users working with Power Apps, Power Automate, SQL, PowerShell, and other technologies: One-click copy for all code and formulas Preserve formatting during copy operations Support copying multiple related blocks together 8. User-Defined Response Profiles Allow users to create and switch between response styles such as: Technical Troubleshooting Power User Learning Mode Executive Summary Architecture Review This would reduce the need to repeatedly explain personal preferences. 9. Memory Transparency and Management Allow users to: View all stored memories and preferences Edit or delete individual memory items Temporarily disable specific memories Understand which memories are influencing responses This would improve transparency and trust. Summary Copilot is evolving from a simple chat tool into a professional productivity platform. Providing greater control over the interface, shortcuts, suggestions, memory, and conversation management would allow experienced users to tailor the experience to their workflow while preserving the current experience for those who prefer more guidance. Thank you for considering these improvements.
Where does Copilot actually fit in your Excel workflow?
I’ve been experimenting with Microsoft 365 Copilot for some of my Excel-related work, especially for quick analysis, formula generation, and summarizing data. Right now, I’m mainly using it for first-pass exploration (like generating formulas or getting quick insights), and then switching to native Excel features like PivotTables, Power Query, or structured formulas when I need more accuracy or repeatability. What I’m struggling with is knowing when it actually makes sense to use Copilot vs just sticking with Excel’s built-in tools. In your experience, where does Copilot genuinely add value in a production workflow, and where does it still fall short compared to traditional Excel tools? Are there other ways you’re using it that I might be missing?
