r/Copilot

Hey everyone, I'm working on AI agents built in Microsoft Copilot Studio, and today I ran into two major issues that I honestly don't know how to solve.

Issue 1: DLP errors in Standard Harness

I built a flow using a couple of connectors, mainly OneDrive for Business and Excel Online (Business).

The flow takes a file as input, runs some automation on the Excel spreadsheet, generates an output file using OneDrive, and returns that file to the agent.

I added this flow as a tool to my agent in Standard Harness, but it keeps throwing DLP (Data Loss Prevention) policy errors. The problem is that it doesn't clearly tell me which connectors or policies are causing the issue.

I even tried moving all the connectors (Copilot Studio, Excel Online (Business), and OneDrive for Business) into the same Business group in the data policy, but I'm still getting the same error.

Issue 2: Publishing issues with GitHub Copilot Harness

When I switched to GitHub Copilot Harness, the agent worked perfectly fine on my side. All the flows executed without any issues.

But when I tried publishing the agent to Microsoft 365 and Teams, things stopped working properly. It actually worked once, but other users are still unable to use it from their accounts.

So basically, the agent works fine for me in GitHub Copilot Harness but doesn't work for other users after publishing. And in Standard Harness, I'm stuck with DLP errors even though the connectors are in the same Business group.

Has anyone faced similar issues? Am I missing something in the DLP policies, connector permissions, or publishing settings?

Any suggestions would really help!

Edit: It finally worked! Huge thanks to u/brannonb111 you're a lifesaver!

I tried switching to the classic mode, and in that UI, the download button was working. I was able to download the DLP errors and figure out what was causing them.

Coming to the GitHub Copilot Harness issue, turns out it was also because of the same DLP policy. Microsoft 365 and Teams were in a different group, which was why the data wasn't being shared properly. Once I moved them to the correct group, that started working too!

So yeah, I was basically missing the Microsoft 365 and Teams connectors in the correct group in my DLP policy. Both issues are resolved now!

I've been in a 9 month researchperiod, with copilot free on android, related to a difficult disease diagnosis. Copilot helped me to counter or at least give alternate explanations to the conclusions 2 specialists gave me. So by deep analyzing the researchresults of the medical specialists I was able to confidently counter their conclusions and make them doubt. It went from: sir, we can not help you, "search for 2nd opinion" to me demanding extra expertise in that hospital. This led to expensive medical imaging which finnaly led to objective signs of disease. Got diagnosed and got treatment. Still not satisfied I did go for 2nd opinion. Got more examinations... Ultimately I went from a kind of common disease to an absurdly rare disease(1 in a million chance disease)...treatment will start soon. Gratefull I was able to get unlimited prompts and document oploads these 9 months. Without copilot I wouldn't have come so far so quick. Now copilot told me not to upgrade and to wait till treatment has started or even longer to keep our flow and history. Cool.

Started a new job where I can only use Copilot. After 2.5 years of using claude it is an abrupt shift.

Any of you use Copilot for more advanced stuff? Any advice?

So I chatted with Copilot (Legacy) to see what to do about backing up my old chats and/or whether or not they’re actually ever going to transfer or migrate over to the new one. And it pretty much told me to go into my old chat try to sync them or copy them into a word document. Or notes. It says that it is originally migrating. By MS is regionally migrating and that is the reason why we don’t see our chats. So I’ll probably spend the weekend moving my chats to Word so that I don’t lose them. But this is the worst migration I have ever experienced and I am a tech marketer and have done migrations on some huge platforms and there’s no notice there’s nothing is just poof. All of a sudden your app looks different on your phone no warning nothing. So hopefully that helps someone who still has the legacy app. My legacy chat app told me that the legacy app is essentially localized on my phone and therefore it is not syncing and until the migration happens in whatever region I’m in that’s the only way that I will see the actual chats. I just know I won’t be deleting my legacy one until I can see my new chats. Oh, and I asked it well I told it that everyone on here was threatening to go to Gemini or back to ChatGPT. And I told her that the new chat according to the forums has no personality. It was assuring me that it does still have personality, even referencing some of my chats that I’ve done in the past saying that I won’t lose the personality and all of the work that has been done
