Sharing your Copilot notebooks - Is being rolled out

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 .

Team Templates in Teams:

If you haven't noticed, there are configurable Teams templates available for your tenants. With this feature, there are 10+ (13) prepared templates for every organization. But the admin center allows for customizations of existing templates and creation of your own templates.

In the Teams Admin center, expand the "Teams" menu to access the "Team templates". Edit the existing templates, or create a new template from scratch or based upon an existing template or an existing Team.

The template admin will let you pre-create channels and their shown or hidden status. As well as adding apps and tabs to the team and associate them with the desired channels.

This feature is going to simplify standardization and creation of functional teams throughout the organization.

According to the roadmap, the feature is being rolled out this month.  And you can read all about how to work with these templates in the documentation library.
