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 .

Copilot Pages: A New way of sharing and interacting with your data generated with Copilot

on

Back in November 2024, Microsoft Copilot users signed in with an Entra account started getting the new feature called Copilot Pages. Copilot Pages offers a dynamic, persistent canvas within Copilot chat, designed to enhance multi-player collaboration.

With Copilot Pages, you can share and improve the responses you get from Copilot. This feature is great start on evolving Copilot from an individual tool to a collaborative experience.

You can easily return to a page by clicking the link in chat or the Open Page icon at the top of the associated Copilot session. Additionally, all your pages are accessible in the Pages module on Microsoft365.com, where you can continue to collaborate with others. Created pages are stored in a user-owned SharePoint Embedded container, which is managed with the user account and deleted when the account is removed.

The feature was turned on by default, but there are ways for IT administrators to manage it. The full details are available on Microsoft Learn, but here is a brief description for your convenience:

Steps to Manage Copilot Pages:

  • Sign in to https://config.office.com with your admin credentials.
  • Navigate to Customization and select Policy Management.
  • Create or edit a policy configuration.
  • Choose the scope (All users or specific groups).
  • Configure Settings:
    • Enabled: Copilot chat experience is available.
    • Disabled: Copilot chat experience isn't available.
    • Not configured: Copilot chat experience is available.
  • Save the policy configuration.
  • Reassign priority for any security group if required.

Changes to policy configurations may take up to 90 minutes to reflect if there were existing policies, or up to 24 hours if there were no prior configurations.
