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.

The suggestions in this guide have been created to the best of accuracy, but Microsoft licensing, pricing and feature availability change frequently — treat them as a planning baseline, not a procurement quote.
