Copilot in Outlook: Prioritize my inbox

on
Microsoft is releasing a new feature for Copilot in Outlook: "Prioritize my inbox by Copilot". The feature can go through your inbox and analyse the content for you. it will then mark them as high and low priority and help you focus on the tasks that are important to you. When the feature rolls out, it will be implemented as an opt-in feature for users, and it will be a "limited seating" until there is enough capacity for all within the organization. When available and enabled, there will be ways to tell Copilot what is important to you. You can read more about this on the support pages for the feature. A couple of notes: It will only prioritize in your main inbox (Not subfolders) It will not work on shared mailboxes or groups This feature is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 411302  and will start rolling out in April 2025

The new Office 365 Mobile app is out

on
Microsoft released a public preview of their new Office 365 app last week, and I have been taking a closer look at it. The idea is to have one applications for multiple tasks, and letting the user accomplish more with out switching between apps on their device. It has become the "one-stop-app" where it is easy to continue your work, or start new documents tailored to your need.

"separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> The homepage is a good landing page with recommended documents and a list of your recent documents. You also have the option to pin the documents you want to keep at the top. The "+" button will bring up three possible actions:

  • Take Notes
  • Launch Lens (Also known as Office Lens)
  • Documents
The Documents section will allow you not only to start new documents, but to scan paper documents and convert them into digital office documents.  I was particularly impressed with the "scan table" feature, which converts a table to a spreadsheet in excel.

I know I will already be deleting my old Office apps for my mobile devices, and start using this new app.
