I'm using Microsoft 365 Copilot (Premium) in a corporate/work environment. Up until about 2 days ago, Copilot Notebooks was working fine for me. I could add Word and PDF files as references and Copilot could read them and answer questions based on them.

Now it seems like it can see the reference, but can't actually read the file.

For example, if I ask it "What is the first paragraph of [filename]?", it tells me that it can see the title of the file but doesn't have access to the contents.

I've tried this with both Word and PDF files. I've also created a completely new Notebook and added the files there, but get the same result.

The strange part is that if I take the exact same file and attach it directly to a normal Copilot chat, Copilot can read it without any problem.

So it seems like something is broken specifically with the Notebook References. This was working normally just a couple of days ago.

Is anyone else seeing this? I'm especially interested in hearing from anyone using Microsoft 365 Copilot in a corporate environment. If it's working normally for you, that would also be useful to know.

Thanks.

Is anyone else frustrated by the email picker in Copilot Notebooks?

I want to add a recent email to a notebook. Simple task. But instead of showing my emails sorted by date, Copilot decides which emails are "relevant" and shows those.

The result: the email I'm looking for isn't there, even if it was received recently.

Then I thought I could save the email and upload it manually as a workaround, but .msg files aren't supported. So if the email picker can't find the email, there doesn't seem to be a straightforward way to add it.

Anyone else running into this?
