audit-and-provenance

The audit-and-provenance tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about tracking data lineage, usage quotas, and governance controls for AI features in Microsoft products. In the context of Excel's COPILOT function, users and IT teams explore how to audit AI-generated formula results, manage compute quotas, and establish provenance for spreadsheet outputs that depend on external AI services. Topics include verifying the source of AI-driven calculations, setting governance policies to control Copilot usage, and understanding the implications of treating AI as a native spreadsheet primitive. The tag is relevant for power users, IT administrators, and compliance professionals who need to ensure accountability and traceability when AI tools are integrated into enterprise workflows.
