The Course
This course is for people who use Microsoft 365 all day and want CoPilot to genuinely help — not people who write software. If your work is email, documents, spreadsheets, meetings and reports, you are in the right place.
We start where most people get stuck: knowing which CoPilot you are actually in, getting your settings right so answers are grounded in your own work rather than the open web, and writing a prompt that returns something you can use. From there we move through the tools you will reach for every day — the prompt toolbar, saving and reusing what works, Notebooks, Pages and the Library, and getting your results back out into Word, Outlook or Teams.
Everything is demonstrated in the real applications, in plain English, at the pace of a working day. You can watch a lesson at your desk and use it that afternoon.
What you will learn
Which CoPilot you are in, and why the same question gives you different answers in Teams, in the app, and in Word.
How to set CoPilot up so it draws on your own files and conversations instead of the open web.
How to write a prompt that comes back usable the first time, using a simple structure you can keep in your head.
Where your work goes and how to find it again — Pages, the Library, Notebooks, and saved prompts.
How to move a good answer into Word, Outlook, Teams or PDF without retyping it.
Which settings make CoPilot sound like you rather than like a robot.
These are the questions that come up in every live class I teach. The course answers them in the same order people actually hit them.
