Re: Search from specific sharepoint site or folder
Copilot for Microsoft 365 doesn't offer a direct way to search for information from a specific SharePoint site or folder. You can't provide a link and expect Copilot to search within that location. Copilot prioritizes searching your personal data sources like OneDrive, emails, and frequently visited SharePoint sites. This ensures focused information retrieval based on your work activities. Some organizations might have enabled "Restricted SharePoint Search" which limits Copilot search results to a curated list of allowed SharePoint sites (up to 100) and user's OneDrive and frequently accessed sites. SharePoint itself has a powerful built-in search function. Access the desired SharePoint site and utilize the search bar at the top. You can filter results based on keywords, metadata, and other criteria. Microsoft Search integrates with SharePoint and other Microsoft 365 services. Access the search bar within Teams or the Microsoft 365 app launcher. You can use keywords and filter by properties to find relevant documents across your organization, potentially including the specific SharePoint site you're interested in. While Copilot doesn't directly search specific SharePoint locations, these alternative methods should help you locate the information you need. I hope this helps!

Copilot for Microsoft 365 is a powerful tool, it currently doesn't directly interact with SharePoint search for retrieving documents based on metadata, tagging, or format. SharePoint has built-in search functionalities that allow you to filter documents based on various criteria, including metadata (managed properties), tags, and file format. Access the SharePoint document library and utilize the search bar at the top. You can combine keywords with property filters to refine your search. For instance, you can search for "marketing plan" and filter by "department" metadata containing "Marketing" and file format "docx." Microsoft Search integrates with SharePoint and other Microsoft 365 services. You can access the search bar within Teams or the Microsoft 365 app launcher. Similar to SharePoint search, you can use keywords and filter by properties to find relevant documents. For more complex search requirements, consider exploring Content Services in Microsoft 365. This service allows creating custom search queries based on metadata and other factors. Content Services might require some administrative setup, but it offers a powerful way to search across various information sources within your organization. I hope this helps!

You're right, abbreviated names can be a challenge for Copilot AI Notes in Teams meetings. Copilot relies on identifying speakers to assign actions in meeting notes. When someone uses a nickname (e.g., Bob for Robert), Copilot might not recognize the full name and can't assign actions accurately. A feature in Copilot that allows users to create a mapping between nicknames and full names. This could be a manual process or potentially learn from previous meetings where someone clarified their full name. This will improve accuracy of meeting notes with assigned actions. Reduced need to manually correct notes after the meeting. This is a common request according to a discussion on the Microsoft Community Hub [community forum about Copilot AI Notes]. Hopefully, a future update to Copilot will include a way to handle name abbreviations. In the meantime, here are some workarounds which can be used like, encourage participants to use their full names when speaking. Manually clarify nicknames in the chat during the meeting. After the meeting, review the notes and assign actions based on context. I hope this helps! If you find this response helpful, please consider marking it as the Best Response and giving it a like.

There isn't currently a dedicated channel for reporting ideas specifically for Copilot within M365 yet. However, there are a couple of ways you can make your voice heard - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/send-feedback-to-microsoft-with-the-feedback-hub-app-f59187f8-8739-22d6-ba93-f66612949332 - This is the official channel for submitting feedback and suggestions on Microsoft products, including M365. You can access it through the Feedback Hub app on Windows or directly on the web at When submitting your idea, be sure to mention that it's related to Copilot for M365. While not an official Microsoft platform, UserVoice is a popular community forum where users can submit and vote on ideas for improving M365 features. While there might not be a specific category for Copilot yet, you can submit your idea under the most relevant category (e.g., Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and clearly mention it's related to Copilot functionality. You can find the UserVoice forum here: https://help.uservoice.com/hc/en-us. Also, it might not be the exact fit, it shows Microsoft is open to user ideas for Copilot in general. You can still submit your M365-related Copilot idea and mention it focuses on the M365 suite: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/copilot/microsoft-copilot-for-serviceI hope this helps!

You're right, Copilot might struggle with specific user functions, especially for Microsoft products themselves. Its training data might not include the most up-to-date information on Microsoft products. Copilot can misinterpret data, leading to nonsensical outputs (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/microsoft-copilots-calculations-correct-senturus-inc-). I can understand you! Microsoft Copilot is a real AI tool, but its accuracy can vary depending on the situation. Studies have shown Copilot can increase productivity for tasks like code completion (https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2023/09/21/announcing-microsoft-copilot-your-everyday-ai-companion/). Research suggests it can improve accuracy in security tasks like identifying malicious scripts (https://www.microsoft.com/content/dam/microsoft/final/en-us/microsoft-product-and-services/microsoft-dynamics-365/pdf/Microsoft-Copilot-for-Security-productivity-findings-Whitepaper-Jan2024.pdf). The better your prompts, the more accurate Copilot's responses will be. Always double-check Copilot's suggestions, especially for critical tasks. Copilot is a powerful tool with limitations. While it might not be perfect for finding specific user functions in Microsoft products yet, it can be helpful for other coding tasks and is under continuous development. For finding user functions in Microsoft products, it might be better to rely on official Microsoft documentation or support channels. I hope this helps!

Copilot is a powerful tool to help work smarter in Excel and PowerPoint. To use copilot in Excel and PowerPoint you need to have a Microsoft 365 subscription (Copilot is not available in free versions of Excel) and click the light bulb icon (Copilot icon) on the Home tab of the Excel ribbon. If your data isn't already formatted as a table, convert it using the Format as Table option. The copilot pane will display suggested actions based on your data. These might include creating charts, formatting highlights, or adding formula columns. Type your question directly in the text box within the Copilot pane. For example, Calculate total sales by region or create a chart showing sales trends. To activate in PowerPoint, Click the light bulb icon (Copilot icon) on the Home tab of the PowerPoint ribbon, type a description of what you want Copilot to help you with in the text box within the Copilot pane, i.e. Create a slide summarizing sales data.

It looks like there is no direct way to completely disable Copilot within Word documents itself yet, However, there are a couple of options depending on what aspect of Copilot you find distracting, If the icon on the page is the main annoyance, you can hide it without affecting Copilot's functionality: • Click on the small light bulb icon (Copilot icon) on your Word document. • A pane will appear on the right side. At the bottom of the pane, you'll see a checkbox labeled Show Copilot in document. • Uncheck the box to hide the icon. Copilot leverages Microsoft Editor for some suggestions. Disabling Editor suggestions might reduce some of Copilot's influence, but it won't completely turn it off: • Go to File > Options > Proofing. • Under AutoCorrect Options, click on AutoCorrect Settings. • In the new window, navigate to the Typing tab. • Uncheck the boxes for features you don't want, like Show suggestions as I type and automatically correct text as I type. If you need a completely Copilot-free experience, you can also work in offline mode i.e. • Go to File > Work Offline I hope this helps!

There is a feature in Copilot for Microsoft 365 called Restricted SharePoint Search that allows you to control what SharePoint content Copilot can access. It essentially disables organization-wide search for Copilot and limits it to a specific set of SharePoint sites you choose. This feature is currently a Public Preview, so availability might differ depending on your Microsoft 365 plan. You'll need Global admin or SharePoint admin privileges and enabling and managing the allowed list involves using PowerShell cmdlets. Refer to Microsoft's documentation for specific commands: Also, While Restricted SharePoint Search offers more control, it might be simpler to exclude specific SharePoint sites from search entirely. This would prevent both Copilot and regular search from accessing those sites' content, please see below steps - 1. Go to the SharePoint site settings. 2. Click Search settings. 3. Uncheck Allow this site to appear in search results. I hope this helps! If you find this response helpful, please consider marking it as the Best Response and giving it a like.

Hello, Copilot for Microsoft 365's semantic index isn't directly manipulable through tagging or keyword stuffing. Copilot uses a semantic index to understand the meaning behind your searches, not just keywords. It analyzes your data (emails, documents, etc.) to create connections and relationships between information. During the "grounding" stage, Copilot refines your search prompt based on context. It considers the application you're using (Word, Excel, etc.) and adds relevant details from the semantic index to improve accuracy. The semantic index only shows information you have access to according to your organization's security settings. This prevents unauthorized access to sensitive data. While tagging isn't directly used, clear and concise language in your documents can influence how Copilot understands them. Also, Frame your searches as questions you'd ask a colleague. Copilot leverages natural language processing to understand your intent.

Hi, Windows 11 doesn't currently support a direct shortcut to open the Copilot with the microphone active. However, there are few creative methods can be used. One possible method involves using third-party macro software that can automate a sequence of actions. These programs can be complex, so proceed with caution if you're not familiar with them. Popular macro software includes AutoHotkey or AutoIt. You would need to create a macro that presses Win + C followed by a click on the microphone icon in Copilot.
