Copilot memory works?
Hi I don’t have a Microsoft 365 Business or Premium subscription, only 365 Personal, so I don't have access to the memory on/off toggle in https://m365.cloud.microsoft/. Before considering an upgrade, I'd like to know whether your experience - with memory enabled on https://m365.cloud.microsoft - matches mine when I enable memory on https://copilot.microsoft.com. Last week I asked Copilot to remember (1 week after clearing the memory): Whatever the conversation topic, Copilot must answer in a single paragraph maximum, unless Lorenzo explicitly asks for more When Lorenzo posts code (Excel, Power Query, JavaScript, Office Script…), Copilot must not explain what the code does unless Lorenzo explicitly asks When Lorenzo posts code (Excel, Power Query, JavaScript, Office Script…), Copilot must not make any comment on the code unless Lorenzo explicitly asks When Copilot posts code (Excel, Power Query, JavaScript, Office Script…), Copilot must never say "why it works" Each time, Copilot confirmed the memory was saved. Issue #1: One week later, only the last item appears in the memory panel Issue #2: In a new conversation, I asked for an Excel solution, and the first thing Copilot added after the solution was "why it works" Thanks & any question/clarification let me know
Agents don't work after upgrade off LLM
We have experienced that several of our personal agents no longer provide the same output after the upgrade to the new language model. The agents are now making mistakes and, for example, say that they can no longer complete the task. Has anyone else experienced the same issue?
Unexpected forced‑citation behavior in Copilot (making minutes from transcript)
Hi everyone, I’d like to raise a problem I encountered recently when using Copilot for meeting‑minutes generation. I’m curious whether others are seeing the same behavior, and whether this is an intentional change or a bug. What happened While generating meeting minutes, Copilot was provided with: an agenda (Word document), a set of personal notes (Word), a meeting transcript (Word). and a Standard Operating Procedure on what I exactly want (style of writing, abbreviations etc.) This is a workflow that previously worked flawlessly. Copilot could combine the content and produce a clean, citation‑free output suitable for direct use in official documentation. However, during my most recent session, Copilot suddenly enforced mandatory citation insertion for any content derived from uploaded files or tool‑accessed data. The system required inline citation markers for everything — even routine content like agenda headings, contextual expansions, or narrative descriptions drawn from the transcript. Why this is a problem For many users, especially in environments where: minutes must follow a strict template, output must be clean and ready for distribution, citations, footnotes, tags, metadata, or brackets are not permitted, …the new forced‑citation behavior creates several issues: 1. Copilot can no longer produce clean narrative minutes Even when instructed explicitly to: avoid citations, avoid file references, avoid metadata, Copilot still attempts to insert forced citation tags if it believes the content originates from a file or tool call. 2. Copilot refuses to proceed if citations are disallowed When asked to generate the minutes without citations (as required), Copilot stops and reports that it cannot continue because the system now requires citations for any file‑based content. 3. Workarounds are impractical Possible workarounds offered by Copilot included: manually pasting tens of pages of transcript text into the chat, accepting citations and manually removing them afterwards, or reconstructing content without referencing the original documents. These options either cause significant manual work or lead to loss of accuracy. Impact This effectively means that Copilot can no longer: merge agenda + notes + transcript into a single clean output, produce minutes using uploaded source documents, deliver professional documentation without embedded reference markers. For scenarios where clean formatting is mandatory (e.g., governance documentation, legal minutes, internal councils, compliance‑driven reporting), this makes Copilot unusable for meeting‑minute generation under the previous workflow. Questions for the community Has anyone else noticed this new forced‑citation requirement when working with uploaded files or transcripts? Is this an intentional design change, a temporary system rule, or an unintended side‑effect of a recent update? Is there a supported method to allow Copilot to generate narrative content from uploaded documents without inserting citation tags? Are there recommended best practices for producing clean, citation‑free procedural minutes using Copilot under the current rules? I would really appreciate insights from others who rely on Copilot for structured meeting‑minute generation, as this change has significantly disrupted a previously stable workflow. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or experiences you can share. (and yes, Copilot drafted this message for me ;-) )Human-in-the-Loop: Where Copilot Agents Should (and Shouldn’t) Act Alone
In the fast-evolving world of artificial intelligence, the term “Copilot agent” has become almost ubiquitous. These intelligent assistants—whether guiding developers in code completion, helping customer service teams respond to emails, or assisting radiologists interpreting scans—are transforming how work gets done. But as with any powerful tool, the key question isn’t just what these agents can do, but when they should act alone and when humans must stay in the loop. This is where the concept of Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) becomes essential. It’s not about limiting AI; it’s about responsible collaboration between humans and machines. https://dellenny.com/human-in-the-loop-where-copilot-agents-should-and-shouldnt-act-alone/

Not able to continue editing in Outlook
Hi all, I start interacting with M365 Copilot Chat and then I want to proceed editing in Outlook. When trying to edit I get the following message in outlook. (sorry in Spanish, but basically says i don't have Copilot). I checked admin configuration and not sure what´s wrong. I have the paid licence, etc. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Copilot Should Allow Structured Outputs from Enterprise Data
Copilot’s enterprise search works well—but once it retrieves emails, chats, or files, it forces all output into fixed paragraph summaries. This stops us from generating structured, actionable documents (matrices, task lists, project summaries, prioritized workflows, etc.) using our own organizational data. This is severely limiting normal business processes. Please consider updating Copilot to allow structured formats when users explicitly request them. It would dramatically improve real-world usability.
What's difference creating Agent from Copilot page vs from Copilot Studio -> Copilot for M365?
Hello, I am learning about Copilot and was very confused by these two different ways to do it. My understanding is both are "Declarative Agents" which lets the Microsoft 365 Copilot do the most heavy lifting. Method 1. First way is to go to Copilot page and clicking 'Create an Agent' w3 Method 2: Going to Copilot Studio -> Agents -> Copilot for Microsoft 365 -> New Agent (Couldn't find a screenshot) Q1. Anyway, first, I created an Agent using the first Method 1 above, and now I see it on the Copilot page under 'Agents' section. However, when I go to Copilot Studio -> Agents -> Copilot for Microsoft 365, I don't see that Agent there. Is this normal and intended? Q2. Is an Agent created using the Method 1 only available to people who have Copilot license? (as long as they are shared; I see options are only me, anyone in the organization, and specific users in the organization) Q3. Could you please confirm agents created using either way above are both "Declarative Agents"? Sorry for the newbie questions in advance... I took the course MS-4010 and reviewed several posts but still confusing...Error Exporting Solution - Copilot Studio Agent with Confluence MCP “search” Tool
Hi all, I'm running into an issue when trying to export a solution that contains an agent built in Copilot Studio using the Confluence MCP “search” tool (Rovo search). I’m hoping someone can help clarify whether additional steps are required, or if this is a product limitation/bug. Scenario I’m building an agent that uses the Confluence MCP connector, specifically the Rovo “search” tool, combined with agent instructions to filter a specific Confluence space. Everything works fine in my developer environment, and now I’m preparing to move the solution to QA. However, I'm blocked at the export step. Steps I Followed Created the agent Added and configured Confluence MCP Selected only the “search” tool Set up agent instructions Created a new solution Added the agent to the solution Exported the solution Received the following error: Solution "xxxxxx" failed to export: Exporting connection reference <masked_connection_reference_id> for a custom connector requires the custom connector to be added to a Dataverse solution. Please add connector <masked_connector_id> to a solution and retry. What I Already Checked When I added the agent to the solution, only the Connection References were added automatically — no Custom Connectors were included. So, I manually added the Confluence MCP Custom Connector to the solution. Despite doing so, the export still fails with the same error. Additional Observations If I create a similar agent that uses only the searchConfluenceUsingCql tool (not the Rovo “search” tool), the solution exports without issues and I can successfully import it into QA. This makes me suspect that the problem is specific to the Rovo “search” capability in the MCP. Question Has anyone encountered this before? Do different steps need to be followed when an agent uses the Rovo “search” tool in the Confluence MCP? Or could it be a known issue? Any guidance or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank youuu!
