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...2.7KViews4likes9CommentsHow to Ask Copilot to Improve Tone and Clarity in Microsoft Word

Why is this happening? Is there a solution for this? It just stops while giving response. And it has happened several times. And you can't even give prompt to continue from there. You should restart it. Does anyone have a solution for this? and I have restarted and reinstalled it 1000 times.9KViews1like17CommentsNo-Code AI: How Non-Developers Can Build Smart Chatbots with Copilot Studio

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.872Views0likes6CommentsFeature 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!72Views0likes1CommentHow to Use Copilot in Microsoft Edge for Web Based Workflows
