Learning new Microsoft Office tricks in "just a minute"
Copilot has some interesting ways to handle personalization when you want it to aways respond in certain ways. One of those techniques is Saved Memories, and you can pass along those memories in the middle of having an ongoing chat. Here’s how that works…
One of the recent Copilot changes is the ability to copy AI-generated tables from Copilot and paste them in other M365 applications. I guess I just assumed that would always be possible, but I had never tried it before. Here’s how it works…
When you are looking at your Copilot Chat history, it could be a bit overwhelming to filter down what you’re looking for. Yes, you do have search, but what if you’re unsure of the keywords you used? Now you can use a filter pill to pare down the list to results from Agents or things you sent to Copilot Pages. Here’s how that works…

You have to find all the people who were involved in the thread, try to find a time that works for *most* of the people, try to somehow come up with a summary and agent… But with Copilot, you can let it do most of the heavy lifting for you, turning email threads into cohesive meetings with little effort. Here’s how that works…
For the last few months, when you are in Copilot Chat you’ve been asked if you want to try the GPT-5 model for your Copilot interactions.
