Getting your business ready for Microsoft 365 Copilot

Copilot works with the files and emails your people can already access, so tidy permissions and good data habits come first.

Microsoft 365 Copilot can draft documents, summarise meetings and answer questions using your organisation's data. Because it respects existing permissions, it can surface anything a user already has access to, including files that were shared too widely years ago.

Five steps before you switch it on

  1. Review who can access sensitive SharePoint sites and Teams.
  2. Remove 'anyone with the link' sharing where it isn't needed.
  3. Apply sensitivity labels to confidential documents.
  4. Archive old, duplicate and out-of-date files.
  5. Choose a pilot group and agree what success looks like.

Pick the right first use cases

  • Summarising long email threads and meetings.
  • First drafts of proposals and policies.
  • Finding information across Teams, Outlook and SharePoint.

Train people, not just licences

Short, practical sessions on writing good prompts and checking outputs make the difference between a novelty and a real productivity gain.

We can review your Microsoft 365 permissions and plan a Copilot pilot. See Microsoft Product Development.
