Two new updates to Microsoft 365 Copilot for Word: Smarter Creation and Researcher agent

What’s New in Microsoft 365 Copilot for Word Microsoft continues to evolve its Copilot capabilities in Word, bringing powerful new features that enhance productivity and streamline workflows. Two newly announced updates are rolling out this fall: First out of the gate is the integration of the Researcher Agent, allowing great content generation within Word itself. The second update is bringing more of the search and creation capabilities we have in Chat directly into Word. These updates represent a meaningful step toward closing the functionality gap between Copilot in Word and Copilot Chat. For me, this is a most welcomed improvement, making it easier for end users to get the results they want even faster, with less friction and more flexibility. Deep Research with the New Researcher Agent in Word Not too long ago, Microsoft introduced the Researcher agent in Copilot Chat, but moving and editing that content required copy/paste and jumping between applications.

Get-userandpolicy V_1 released

I have been working on a deployment lately, where I was tasked with identifying policies and if any of these could be removed after a huge migration.

This could all be done through CSCP, but the task was slow and "painful". I decided to find a quicker way to complete the job. And sure enough. A couple of hours creating some code, made the task so much easier.

This was not the first deployment I had to do policy management and cleanup, and I do not think it's going to be the last. So I decided to make a script of the code and publish it. Get-userandpolicy is the end result of my work.

I have made it available on the Technet Gallery, so if you need a quick way to get an overview over your policies and users assigned to them you are welcome to download and try it: Get-userandpolicy

As always, feedback and suggestions appreciated ;)
