UK availability
available
What it can do
- Combine selected documents and SharePoint content with relevant emails and Teams meeting material where supported.
- Ask Copilot to compare sources, identify themes, prepare questions and draft briefings from the selected context.
- Keep a project or review focused on a deliberately chosen evidence set rather than asking across everything.
Limitations
- A Notebook is not proof that every relevant source has been included.
- Users still need permission to the underlying content and should check current/approved versions.
- Important conclusions should be checked against the underlying source material.
Prerequisites
- Microsoft 365 Copilot access and Copilot Notebooks availability in the tenant.
- Appropriate permissions to the files, sites, emails and meetings used as references.
Notes
Use this as a practical knowledge-work example rather than assessment-policy guidance.
Watch-outs for Premium Copilot
- The Premium licence does not mean every Microsoft 365 AI feature is automatically enabled.
- Permissions hygiene matters more because Copilot can use work context the user is already allowed to access.
- App experiences differ: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams do not all expose identical capabilities.
- Keep sensitive meeting scenarios such as safeguarding, HR, malpractice, appeals and complaints under explicit policy and review.
