New Year, New Momentum: Here are three Copilot updates to get you started into 2026

It's a new year, so I thought I'd start the year by mentioning three features already released, or soon going to be released. One of the features improves the workflow of sharing files with comments, the other improves the application specific Copilot, and the last feature makes it easer to find the nest available timeslot for a 1:1 meeting.

74-322 passed

Back in April, I wrote a post on why I thought taking the Beta 74-322 was a mistake on my part, and how certain I was I had failed.

If  you are preparing for this exam, you should familiarize yourself with large deployments, voice traffic and true UC. An experienced technician should probably know all of this by heart, but if you are unsure of your own skills. Don't just take this exam. Try reading some of the TechNet library docs on the subject, and go through some of the nexthop posts on the subjects.
