Invoking a Power Automate Flow from a Copilot Prompt: Automating Actions, Not Just Content
Imagine reviewing a contract and asking your company’s Copilot, “Approve this contract and notify the legal team.” Instead of simply explaining the approval process or drafting an email, Copilot initiates a workflow, routes the request to the right approver, updates the relevant business system, and sends notifications when the process reaches the next stage. link to the post25 Copilot Cowork Prompts for Executives to Work Smarter
An executive’s calendar can be full before the real work begins. Board meetings, budget reviews, customer escalations, leadership updates, and hundreds of emails compete for attention. The challenge isn’t simply finding information. It’s turning that information into decisions, clear communication, and measurable action. link to the postPerformance Optimization Tips for Microsoft 365 Agents
A Microsoft 365 agent can answer questions, summarize documents, retrieve business information, and automate everyday tasks. But when responses take too long, integrations fail, or answers become inconsistent under load, users quickly lose confidence in the experience. link to the post
copilot app is unable to edit an excel file and save a new version
I asked copilot to review an excel file I created and add worksheets with dashboard etc; it does the analysis, suggests the solution but when I ask to save a new edited version comes up with all kinds of limitations.. example of message : I need access to the physical workbook file in the execution workspace, not just the extracted workbook content that I can read. What I currently have is access to the contents of "book2" , including all sheets and rows What I do not have is a file path that allows me to save a modified workbook and return a new Excel file. This is exactly the distinction you were asking about earlier: ✅ I can inspect and analyse "book2". ✅ I can design the full V2 architecture you specified. ❌ In this session I cannot yet create and return the modified .xlsx because the actual uploaded file is not available in the workbook-editing workspace. I save files on OneDrive and have MS365 Family subscription , similar limitations with all MS files is it a licence issue?Real-world use case: how a sales team runs every account from a Copilot Notebook (2-min video)
Hi everyone, I'm a PM on the Copilot Notebooks team at Microsoft. A pattern we see with enterprise sales teams: one notebook per customer, with CRM notes, decks, workshop notes and emails added as references; the whole account team working from the same context; and customer meetings recorded with Capture in OneNote, so the notes and actions go straight back into the notebook. We turned one of these workflows into a two-minute story: https://youtu.be/Al2VddNfC-o The story and companies are fictional (inspired by real workflows), some features may be in preview, and the illustrations and narration were made with AI tools. For those rolling out Copilot in your organizations: How are your teams setting up notebooks: per customer, per project or per team? What has helped adoption, and what's getting in the way?

Agent Builder agents require Microsoft 365 Copilot license for users without a license?
Hi all, Has anyone noticed a recent change in how Copilot Agent Builder (in Copilot Chat) agents work for users without a Microsoft 365 Copilot license? Our setup is: Agent created by a user with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license Created directly in Agent Builder, not published through Copilot Studio The agent is published and available within our tenant Some consumers do not have a Microsoft 365 Copilot license Copilot Credits are available (also for the environment where the agent is) and have not been exhausted This setup was working normal ly just two days ago. Unlicensed users could use the shared agents and usage was covered by Copilot Credits. Now those same users are getting a message saying that a Microsoft 365 Copilot license is required. Has anyone else started seeing this? I’m trying to understand whether we are looking at a configuration issue in our tenant or whether something has recently changed in the service/licensing behavior. Thanks for experiences!
Please Remove Daily Cap Usage for Free Copilot Text Chat
Dear Microsoft Copilot Team, I am writing to express my disappointment with the new daily usage caps on Microsoft Copilot, particularly for ordinary text-based conversations. In the past, I could use Copilot freely for everyday questions, learning, research, brainstorming, and general conversations without constantly worrying about reaching a daily limit. The newer restrictions have made the experience significantly more frustrating and less useful. I understand that running AI services requires computing resources and that Microsoft must manage operating costs. However, I believe ordinary text chat should remain uncapped, especially when it was previously possible to use Copilot much more freely. Text conversations are a fundamental part of the service, and users should not have to stop in the middle of a useful discussion because they have exhausted a daily allowance. The move toward a unified Copilot experience should make the product simpler, more consistent, and more useful—not make existing users feel that they have lost access to a service they have come to rely on. I am therefore asking Microsoft to: Remove daily usage caps entirely for ordinary text-based Copilot conversations, including for free users. Keep basic text chat freely accessible without arbitrary daily cutoffs or lengthy waiting periods. If stricter limits are necessary for resource-intensive features such as image generation or advanced research, apply those limits separately rather than restricting ordinary text conversations. Clearly communicate any usage policies and reconsider changes that negatively affect the experience of long-time users. Unlimited text chat would help preserve user trust, encourage continued engagement, and distinguish Copilot as an accessible AI assistant for everyone. Restricting basic conversations risks pushing loyal users toward competing services that offer a more suitable experience. I hope Microsoft will take this feedback seriously and reconsider the current daily cap policy. Please restore uncapped text chat so users can rely on Copilot whenever they need assistance, without worrying about running out of messages. People on Reddit and online have been criticizing these changes ever since Copilot was unified under one product between enterprise and personal, If you guys dont do anything now it might reduce user trust and might be bad business decisions so please fix Copilot Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to seeing Microsoft make Copilot more accessible and user-friendly again.🚀 It's a bird! It's a plane! It's HTML! -No workarounds
Or maybe it's SharePoint... 🤔 - Now Available - Frontier tenants !!!! For years, bringing HTML pages into SharePoint usually meant dealing with iframes, extra scrollbars, broken navigation, or custom solutions that never felt quite right. Now we finally have a much cleaner experience. You can upload existing HTML pages or create entirely new ones, while still keeping the familiar SharePoint header, navigation, and overall site experience. What I like most is that users stay in SharePoint. No awkward embedded pages. No jumping between different experiences. Just a modern web page that feels like part of the site. 🎥 I have created a video is a MUST for any Sharepoint Experts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0JphDIUwTI I'll show you: ✅ Where to upload existing HTML pages ✅ How to create brand-new HTML pages ✅ How to edit and update them ✅ How to keep the SharePoint menus and headers ✅ How to avoid iframes and those annoying double scrollbars ✅ How to enable upload HTML is Site Pages As someone who has worked with SharePoint for many years, this feels like one of those features that should have existed a long time ago. Take a look at the video and let me know what you would build first with HTML in SharePoint.
