Sharing your Copilot notebooks - Is being rolled out

on
Microsoft is rolling a new update to Copilot Notebooks that make collaboration even easier: the ability to share Copilot Notebooks with your colleagues.  Personally, I like Notebooks because they feel almost like small, personal agents I don’t have to configure. They give me a safe space to collect notes and documents and then work on them over time. With this update, that personal space can become a shared space for a selected group of  colleagues, without compromising security or permissions. I think it is also important to note that your chat and chat history within the Notebook stays private. The web rollout began in late October and will finish by December, while mobile access starts in early November and are related to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap ( ID 506851 )  You can also read more about the Copilot Notebooks experience on the Microsoft website here . If you like this update and want to stay informed about similar improvements, feel free to follow me on LinkedIn!

Teams auto renewal - Groups expiration policy

on
If your company have Azure AD Premium licenses, there is a new "housekeeping" feature coming this month. Microsoft 365 roadmap feature 56784 is being rolled out, and it will slightly change how the expiration policy works.

Where you previously set an expiration policy and an notification was sent out to every admin, groups will  now be auto renewed based on activities within the group.

The following actions will lead to auto renewal:

  • SharePoint: View, edit, download, move, share, or upload files
  • Outlook: Join group, read/write group message from group space, Like a message (in Outlook Web Access)
  • Teams: Visit a Teams channel
I encourage all my customers with the premium license to use this feature as a part of their lifecycle management, and I think the experience just got better as active teams now will be renewed automatically and not require manual actions by group owners (which can be seen as "nagging" when the expiration timer is set with a short timer.
