Custom Engine CoPilot with CoPilot Studio
Hi Experts, Need your input on this topic please. Microsoft at multiple presenations, events and documentation mentions Custom Engine CoPilot can be developed using CoPilot Studio (Low Code Approach) like here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365-copilot/extensibility/overview-custom-engine-agent#low-code-approach As per documentation, "Custom Engine CoPilot" can have our own orachastrator (any LLM apart from M365 built in LLM), Can you help me to understand how the "Custom Engine CoPilot" can be built using "CoPIlot Studio" with our own LLM? Thanks in advanceFile Formats to upload too restricted

An article by a company specializing in penetration tests raised some questions about how attackers might use Copilot for Microsoft 365 to retrieve data. The article is an interesting read and reveals how Copilot can reveal data in password protected Excel worksheets. However, many of the issues raised can be controlled by applying available controls, and the biggest worry is lhow the account being used to run Copilot came to be compromised! https://office365itpros.com/2025/05/12/copilot-for-microsoft-365-pentest/How to Enhance Copilot Usage Data
Copilot usage data can be pretty sparse, but it’s easy to enhance the data to gain extra insight into how Microsoft 365 Copilot is used within a tenant. In this case, an administrator wanted to have department and job title information available for each Copilot license holder, so we combined the Copilot usage data with details of Entra ID user accounts with Copilot licenses to create the desired report. https://office365itpros.com/2025/05/09/copilot-usage-data-accounts/
Microsoft Copilot Embedded in the SharePoint
Hi experts, I have developed a Copilot Agent to assist to search the documents in the SharePoint document libraries. In that case I have registered the App in Azure and set the API Permission as follows. Microsoft Graph -> Application Permission 1.1. Sites.FullControl.All 1.2. Files.Read.All 1.3. Sites.Read.All 1.4. User.Read.All 2. SharePoint -> Application Permission 2.1. Sites.FullControl.All 2.2. Sites.Read.All 2.3. User.Read.All 3. Created Client Secret 4. I did the following settings in Copilot Studio under Authentication. 4.1. I have selected "Authenticate manually" and turn "Require users to sign in" off. 4.2. Then, gave the Client ID and Client secret. 4.3. Set the "profile openid Sites.Read.All Files.Read.All" under Scopes and Save. 4.4. After all the configurations are done, I get the embed code and insert it into SharePoint page. My objective is to give the better user experience to the internal users, and I do not need to use this "Sign in" option. Even I set all above settings, it is asking me to "Sign in". How can I avoid this matter? I really appreciate it if someone can help me out on this regard. Thanks in advance, Wiki.
Export Search results from Copilot into Excel
Hello, I'm looking to automatically export my search results from Copilot into Excel. I have number of description of Part No, but it does not describes what exactly this description means. For Example, when I search TRAFO9155-15 440/400V DYN11 MAR MUNSELL in Copilot, it gives most of the information. Later I manually copy this information into my excel for the above said description. I have multiple Part description, so is there a automated process to automatically copy the search results into Excel/Word Please advise. Thanks! Below is the screen shot of the search I have done in Teams Copilot.M365 Copilot Pro vs Copilot Pro
Hi, my name is Mark Salden, and I am a freelance graphic designer, social media marketer, and web designer from Belgium. I currently have an Office 365 Business Standard subscription and would like to purchase Microsoft 365 Copilot. Just to be clear: the regular Copilot Pro is only for individuals and not for businesses, correct? It’s a bit confusing, and I want to be 100% sure. I want to integrate Microsoft 365 Copilot into Word, Outlook, OneDrive, Teams, etc. With Copilot, can I automatically create notes and summaries during online meetings in Teams? Also, can I use Copilot in Microsoft Loop? That part is not clear to me. I am also very interested in Copilot Studio because I want to create AI agents that help me with SEO, content creation, image generation, and more. Are there any limits on building AI agents, and can I create workflows and automate processes there as well? I hope someone can assist me. Thanks in advance!Quick fixes to boost your Copilot responses
Did Copilot disappoint you recently? Who has never complained about Copilot responses? Myself included. You know that moment when you try to get a good Copilot response, and all you get is vague one? Yep. Been there. It’s Not You, It's not Copilot either, It's Your Prompt People tend to treat Copilot like a search engine, but Copilot isn’t a search engine. I know it feels like it should be—type in your query, get a polished answer. Here's the deal: Copilot (and all other LLMs) work with recognizing patterns and context based on your prompts. Copilot does not retrieve information, but generates answers. Copilot relies on the context and specificity of your prompts to generate useful responses. That means vague, lazy prompts are setting it up to give vague responses. If you want great output, you need great input. So let’s talk about how to give Copilot the kind of prompt it can actually work with. 10 Quick Fixes to Boost Your Copilot Responses Write clear prompts: ❌ “Make it better” → ✅ “Summarize in 3 points” Be specific: ❌ “Write an email” → ✅ “Draft a friendly reminder email for project deadline” Be direct: ❌ “Could you try to…” → ✅ “Generate a bulleted list of main takeaways” Give context: ❌ “Draft an email” → ✅ “Draft a response to the client email /<youremail> to apologyse for the delivery delays” Divide to conquer: ❌ “Write a report” → ✅ “Outline the report in sections: intro, analysis, and conclusion” Choose wisely: ❌ Copilot is not equal Copilot. → ✅ Understand the differences between M365 Copilot Chat and M365 Copilot and learn when to use what. I wrote a post about this topic already, here you can find it: Copilot Chats vsus. M365 Copilot: What's the difference? Try rephrasing: ❌ “Try again” → ✅ “Rephrase the sentence” Sometimes, a small word change makes a big difference. Iterate: Unhappy? ✅ If your plan A did not work, go for plan B. You can start a new chat, adjust your initial prompt, and try again! Include web content when relevant: ✅ Enrich your Copilot responses with web content. Toggle on web content like this: Click on the 3 elipses on the top, right corner of Copilot chat in Work mode. Give it another shot! ✅ LLMs are evolving quickly. What it did not work last month, it may work today! Want Copilot to stop disappointing you? Prompt like you mean it. 💡 Got your own favorite Copilot trick? Share it in the comments below.
Copilot in Outlook
One of my users trying to extract all calendar items from their Outlook through out the year to an excel to be created by Copilot. 1-When prompting the Excel file is generated but not clickable looks like corrupted. 2-When prompting Copilot to list all calendar items through out the year it shows only few results but not the full list of meetings. Anyone has an idea please
M365 Copilot for PowerPoint doesn't refer to entire contents of the reference Word file.
We have a paid M365 Copilot license. We are trying to use it in PowerPoint to create a PPT by referring to a Word file. However, we are facing two critical short-comings: 1) The copilot gives us an error when we try to refer more than two files. It says it can't refer more than one file. However, in official documentation its clearly mentioned that M365 Copilot can receive multiple reference files. Here's the error screenshot: 2) When we do use the copilot with one single word file, the outline and PPT generated by the copilot is partial - it limits itself to referring only first 3 pages of a 4 page document. The reference word file has just 4 pages and <1100 pages, the reference word file contains total 10 sections but the PPT generated using M365 Copilot only captures 8 sections and skips the other 2 sections. This is very critical, makes the product quite useless if its only utilizing 3 pages. We have replicated this over other reference documents as well and the results are same.📢 What's New In Microsoft 365 Copilot | April 2025

I made an Agent from within Sharepoint and it was accessible by others (with CoPilot licenses). I added it to Teams chat and i could "@" call it. Now I made an Agent from WITHIN CoPilot and I shared it into Teams -- it did NOT get added as a participant, i could not "@" reference it, and other people cannot access it. So how do I edit that Agent and how do i give permissions to share access to it?CoPilot Teams Minutes
