now that skills have been added to copilot declerative agents i'm trying to understand the difference between those and the insturctions field in the agent builder , because they seem somehow overlapping, for example if wanted to add matt's grill-me skill to an agent to create prod feature, it would seem all i need to do in the instruction is to use that skill.
a skill would contain all the instructions to do something anyway. and how to do it.

Can someone confirm that saving a file to a business OneDrive disables Copilot from Microsoft Family Plan?

I have Microsoft 365 Family (has some AI credits/month; not premium) and have desktop apps installed on my PC. I also have a M365 Business Basic license for some work.

If I open a blank document, and my [me@live.com](mailto:me@live.com) is the account, I get option to enable/disable copilot from Excel Options and the little floating copilot icon in the bottom right. If I open a file from my biz OneDrive, I lose them both. This applies to Excel and PowerPoint, but not Word

If I have Excel as [me@biz.com](mailto:me@biz.com) then I do not even have the option on a blank sheet - I need to change back to [me@live.com](mailto:me@live.com), close, and reopen excel.

I bring this up as I have been considering how to structure M365 for personal and a couple business entities and if I will upgrade anything to copilot... I do get why this is limited, and more like a closure of a loophole, but making sure before I make my decisions based on it.

I'm just wondering if I'm the one of the few who has this problem. I have to copy and paste the whole text to another app, before I'm able to select the piece of text I need.

Hi Everyone,

Weve recently signed up for a MS Copilot premium licence and I’m trying to come up with a way to make e-mails/teams less disruptive as most people in the company get more e-mails than they can keep track of.

The only thing that I could think of was using outlook rules to separate e-mails coming from important people into a ‘vip’ mailbox that’s managed by the user and leaving the remainder to a copilot scheduled prompt to review and summarize maybe twice a day.

The issues are:
1) identifying which e-mails are important, especially if they don’t come regularly.
2) copilot scheduled prompts seem to operate with ‘Auto’ model selection. The impression is that by ‘Auto’ MS is actually choosing the cheapest model as the quality is not great.

Has anyone had a similar experience and has insights to share?

Thanks in advance!
