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 .

Reminders "finally" back in the new Outlook, and the Microsoft 365 homepage is getting two new additions

on
The new Outlook for Windows has been using Windows notifications to alert users of upcoming meetings. Looking at how those notifications work, I think many would agree with me when I say they have not been as good as the Outlook notifications used to be. One thing I really missed in the Windows notifications, was the capability to set the snooze timer. But that is now history, the preview client has just released in app notifications. The "new" notification works much in the same way as the original Outlook notifications.

The Microsoft 365 homepage is getting two new additions. It can be hard to keep track of all your planner and todo tasks as you need to get into these specific applications to get an overview. But Rolling out this fall is an integration of these application into the 365 homepage. At least the planner plans and ToDo lists you are a part of will be visible, and much easier to access. This is related to Roadmap item 149272. The first roll-outs will be in September, but it could take until November for the feature to reach everyone.

The other new addition is not specific to the Microsoft 365 homepage, but rather an integration of PowerBI into Graph. Unless this feature is turned off (It will be on by default), certain information about PowerBI reports shared with a user, will show up in multiple Microsoft 365 services. The homepage is one of these services, where a user can locate and access a report he/she has access to. Read more about the sharing capability, and how to manage it here. This new capability will be rolling out in July and August
