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 .

Upcoming updates to Viva (and Copilot)

on

Copilot Academy will be available for all Microsoft 365 users

Although this is technically to updates, here is a an update on Viva Learning. Microsoft is now enabling the AI and Copilot Resources provider by default for all users. This change aims to enhance the learning experience across organizations by making the provider accessible to all Viva Learning users. This will make it easier for all users of both licensed and non-licensed Copilot users to improve on their skills.

Preparation Steps: This rollout will occur automatically, requiring no admin action beforehand. However, it's crucial to review your current configuration to understand the impact on your organization. Consider notifying your users about this change and updating any relevant documentation.

Admin Management: Admins can manage the visibility of the AI and Copilot Resources provider in Viva Learning on the Admin page under the Manage providers tab and the Manage Permissions tab. Admins need the role of Global admin, Knowledge admin, or Knowledge manager, or access through Viva Learning's feature access management. For more details, visit Viva Learning Feature Access Management.

Rollout Timeline: The rollout will begin with a public preview in early April 2025 and may already be in your tenant. The general availability will begin right after the preview, and should be completed by late April 2025.
