Microsoft Copilot in Your Daily Work

Practice · 2 hours and 30 minutes · Free · for Algemeen

Using Microsoft Copilot (until recently named Microsoft 365 Copilot) in ordinary office work: where it gets its answers from and why your own permissions determine what comes out, working in the applications you already use, and the places where this tool demonstrably performs worse. Module 4 covers preparing for your week, turning loose pieces into a proposal, and collaborating in a shared document without the tool showing in the result; the closing module covers the layers around the window: connected sources, documented working methods, and agents. A version for internal auditors also exists.

What you'll work through

What Microsoft Copilot Does and Does Not See
This module's opening line frames the course as audit work, and the route it sketches follows the auditor edition; for this office edition, read 'audit work' throughout as 'ordinary office work', and note that module 4 of this course (not covered by that opening line) adds preparing for your week, drafting a proposal, and collaborating in a shared document. Where this module uses an audit case file, a walkthrough, or an audit program as its example, for ordinary office work think of your own inbox, calendar, and the team site of an ongoing project. The exercise at the end is written from an auditor's desk; take a project folder with several versions of the same proposal instead. Microsoft Copilot only searches what you yourself are allowed to view: a project folder you have no access to stays invisible to the tool as well, and a shared site shows exactly as much of itself as your colleagues set it up to show.
Working in the Applications
Where this module uses a finding, an audit committee paper, or a payments sample as its example, for ordinary office work think of a client proposal in a word processor, a budget overview in a spreadsheet, and a presentation for a team meeting. The exercise is written for an auditor; take the transcript of your own team meeting or a worksheet you report from. The same approach applies: have Microsoft Copilot produce a first draft or calculation, and check it yourself before the document goes out the door.
Where This Tool Demonstrably Falls Short
Where this module uses supplier contracts, a confidentiality clause, or workpapers as its example, for ordinary office work think of a negotiation with a client, a count across project files, or a sensitive message to a colleague. The auditor in lesson 4 records his choice of tool in his workpapers; you can do the same in a project log or in the document itself. Microsoft Copilot lacks the feel for the relationship and the context that such a judgment requires, and that is exactly where your own judgment still works better than generated text.
Copilot in Your Daily Work
How you use Microsoft Copilot in ordinary office work: getting an overview of your week, turning loose pieces into a proposal or memo, collaborating without it standing out, and knowing when you're better off leaving it closed.
What Stands Around the Window
Where this module uses an audit file, a finding, or a sampling method as its example, for ordinary office work think of a client file, a shared team site, or your own inbox. The four layers stay the same: it still holds that a linked external source falls under someone else's management, that a documented way of working becomes an agreement once a colleague adopts it, and that an agent that acts on its own cannot be judged in advance.
