Microsoft yesterday, announced the next stage of the evolution of Microsoft 365 Copilot with Wave 2. Amongst the many new features was the launch of Copilot Pages. This innovative feature is the first step into the new evolution of Copilot which is set transforming how employees interact with Microsoft AI in a new collaborative environment.

What are Copilot Pages?

Copilot Pages is a dynamic, persistent canvas integrated into Copilot chat, designed to facilitate what Microsoft call “multiplayer AI collaboration”. It allows users to turn insightful Copilot responses into durable, editable content that can be shared with teams for further collaboration.

“This is an entirely new work pattern – multiplayer, human to AI to human collaboration”.
| Jared Spataro | VP of AI at Work | Microsoft.

Copilot Pages -Key Features

• Dynamic Collaboration: With Copilot Pages, employees can work directly with Copilot on a shared page, prompting and refining responses together as a team rather than individually in silos.
• Persistent Canvas: The pages are persistent, meaning collaborative efforts are saved and can be revisited and edited at any time by anyone.
• Team Learning: This feature encourages learning from each other’s prompts, enhancing the overall quality and depth of the information gathered.

Getting Started with Copilot Pages in 5 Steps

1. Access Copilot Pages: Open your Copilot chat and look for the new “Pages” tab. Click on it to create a new page or access existing ones.
2. Create a New Page: Click on “New Page” to start a fresh canvas. You can name your page to keep your projects organized.
3. Collaborate with Your Team: Invite team members to your page by sharing the link. Everyone can contribute by adding prompts, refining responses, and editing content.
4. Save and Revisit: Your pages are automatically saved. You can revisit and edit them anytime, ensuring your collaborative efforts are always up-to-date.
5. Share and Export: Once your page is finished, you can share it with others outside your team or export it for presentations, reports, or further analysis.

Where are Copilot Pages Stored?

Copilot Pages are .loop files stored in a new user-owned SharePoint Embedded container. IT Admins can manage these files using Loop admin switches and other governance tools. The feature supports various compliance and manageability capabilities, including GDPR compliance, Intune device management, and data loss prevention. IT admins manage these .loop files just like any other files (.docx, .pptx, .xlsx, etc.). They support all the features of the SharePoint file system, including everything detailed here. 

Additional capabilities, such as programmatic API access for third-party tools, are expected in Q4 CY2024.
