Copilot for SharePoint

▲ ▼

description Copilot for SharePoint Overview

This feature unlocks the massive potential of SharePoint by allowing users to query the entire site collection's content base using natural language. Instead of knowing which document library or folder a policy lives in, you can ask, 'What is the updated PTO policy for remote employees?' and receive a direct summary and link to the source document.

help Copilot for SharePoint FAQ

Can Copilot for SharePoint answer a question such as where the remote-work PTO policy is stored?

Yes, Copilot for SharePoint is designed to answer natural-language questions about content that the user can access, including documents, pages, and site information. Microsoft says the feature requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot license and administrator enablement in the relevant environment. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/copilot-in-sharepoint/copilot-in-sharepoint-an-overview

Can Copilot for SharePoint reveal a document that I do not have permission to open?

No, SharePoint Copilot follows the user's existing permissions. If an employee cannot access a policy, library, or site in SharePoint, Copilot should not surface that restricted content in the answer. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/copilot-in-sharepoint/frequently-asked-questions-about-copilot-in-sharepoint

Does Copilot for SharePoint automatically search every site collection in a company?

Not automatically. Its answers depend on the sites, pages, documents, agent sources, and Microsoft 365 permissions available to that user, so an organization still needs to define scope and clean up access rules.

What does an administrator need before employees can use Copilot for SharePoint?

Microsoft's current overview says the organization needs a Microsoft 365 Copilot license and administrator opt-in at the tenant or site level for the relevant experience. The administrator should also review SharePoint permissions because Copilot reflects existing access rather than replacing governance.
