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 Wave two "Memory and Personalization" requires: Enhanced Personalization

New admin control: Enhanced Personalization Control

With the announcement of Copilot wave two, some may have noticed one of the new features called "Memory and Personalization". For this feature to work, copilot must learn and store some of the user's personal information. How else will it understand the user, and actually improve on the responses given over time. Some are welcoming this new feature, as competitors have already rolled out similar functionality, but others might be a bit hesitant to have this information stored.

I am guessing that is why Microsoft has introduced a new data processing control for Microsoft 365 Copilot. This control, is now called Enhanced Personalization, and is already available for Global Admins to configure for their tenants. 

What is Enhanced Personalization?

Enhanced Personalization is a forward-looking control that will become part of the default configuration for Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses. This control allows Microsoft to process user communications data, such as Teams chats and Outlook emails, to provide a more personalized experience. The goal is to enhance the baseline personalization already offered by Microsoft 365 Copilot. (Read more about it here).

The feature will be on by default.

The new control will be defaulted to "on" for Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses. This means that Microsoft will process user communications data to enhance their experience. It's important to note that this consent is fully revocable, and no features currently use this control. However, it is already now possible to configure this feature through Microsoft Graph.
