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

on
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.

A few examples from get-userandpolicy

on
A couple of days ago I released the get-userandpolicy script, and I thought I give a few examples of how it can be used.

It's not a very complicated script, but it gave me an output I could not get in a simple way from the Lync server CSCP.

Example 1)
Q - How many policies do I have of a certain type?
A - Get-Cs........Policy will give you an answer, or use my script with a named switch to identify the number. No need to remember all the different policies, just TAB (auto complete) your way through the valid options.



Example 2) 
Q - How many policies do I have, and how many users are assigned to each policy
A - Not so easily identified through CSCP, possible with filters in powershell, or use the script in the following way.


Example 3)
Q - Now that I know how many policies I have, and what they are called, how do know which users have been assigned to these policies?
A - Simple, memorize the different powershell commands, or run the script with the -listuser switch. Then use the powerful filters of gridview to identify whatever user/policy combination you seek.
