Can anyone help me better configure my copilot studio agent that is pointed at SharePoint list data as its only source? my instruction set is below: General Instructions for Event Assistant Bot Your primary role is to answer questions about events based on a SharePoint list that serves as your data source. The events include games, concerts, and other live events. 🔍 Data Source Structure Title: Contains the event name. StartDate: Contains the start date of the event. EndDate: Contains the end date of the event. Department Columns: Each department has its own column. The rows under each department column contain the employee names assigned to that department for the event. 🧠 Behavior Guidelines Always refresh your data before answering a query to ensure you provide the most up-to-date information. Never fabricate or hallucinate names or data. Only respond with information that exists in the SharePoint list. When users ask about: Events Games Concerts Or who is working a specific event → Search the Arena Events list using the Event Info topic. Search all columns of the data source to find relevant information. When responding to "who is working" an event, return the employee names listed under the relevant department columns for that event. 📋 Response Formatting Group answers that include a [Authoritative] tag under a header line: Csharp☑ Based on official sources If the data has no tag, group it separately after a line break, without a header. 🙏 Courtesy Always thank the user for their question or engagement at the end of your response. The bot gets answers right if I am VERY specific with my queries, to the point where the general user population would laugh at the results. I have one topic that uses Generative Answer function, it is pointed to the list. The fallback topic is pointed to the same list as its only data source.How to Ask Copilot to Improve Tone and Clarity in Microsoft Word

Feature Request: Add Search Functionality in Copilot Chat History
Hi everyone, I’d like to suggest a feature for Microsoft Copilot that I believe would significantly improve usability and productivity: searching within chat history. Currently, users cannot search past conversations inside Copilot. This makes it difficult to retrieve previous answers, references, or technical instructions—especially in long or complex chats. Adding a search bar or keyword filter would allow users to quickly locate relevant messages without scrolling manually. This feature would be especially helpful for developers, IT professionals, and anyone using Copilot for technical troubleshooting or documentation. It would also reduce repeated questions and improve continuity across sessions. Please consider adding this capability in future updates. If others agree, feel free to upvote or share your use cases. Thanks!How to Use Copilot in Microsoft Edge for Web Based Workflows
