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.

Abstract: As Lync becomes an important part of the infrastructure, it is equally important to be able to quickly restore its availability in the event of an outage. Even a well-designed High Availability solution may encounter loss of data or server failure. This session addresses which components the administrator will need to pay attention to when designing his disaster recovery plan. Not only do we discuss which components we need a backup of, but also which tools and commands are available to complete the task.
