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's AI File Actions Expand from OneDrive to SharePoint soon

on

If you’ve been using AI file actions in OneDrive, you’ll be pleased to know that the same capabilities are coming to SharePoint document libraries on the web. Starting in September 2025, Microsoft will roll out these features globally, enabled by default for users with a Copilot license. 

The new functionality allows users to summarize documents, compare files, generate FAQs, ask questions, and even create audio overview, all without opening the files. These actions will be available through the AI Actions button in the SharePoint toolbar or by hovering over a file. If you’re familiar with the OneDrive experience, you’ll find the interface and capabilities nearly identical, ensuring a smooth transition for users.

So, how does this compare to OneDrive? Functionally, it’s the same set of tools, but the key difference is context: OneDrive focuses on personal and shared files, while SharePoint brings these AI capabilities to team and organizational content. 

To prepare, inform your users about these new capabilities and review your Copilot licensing. This is also a great time to update your governance and adoption plans to include AI-driven workflows.

This update is part of Microsoft 365 Roadmap item 488297.
