About this tag
The copilot chat tag on WindowsForum.com covers Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat developments, including new search capabilities for scanned PDFs and images, scheduled prompts, and label inheritance. Threads discuss IT administration topics such as adoption metrics in the Copilot Dashboard, usage reports for GCC High and DoD tenants, and integration with Agent 365 and Microsoft Forms.
