Icon depicting a document with sparkles Suggest common questions that can be asked to get a retrospective started with my colleagues.

Provide an option of adding chat response to multiple pages: Multiple new pages can be created from a single chat session, which is ideal for covering multiple topics or managing different responses.
Allow you to share pages for collaboration: When you're ready to collaborate, it's easy to share your page with others. Your colleagues will have access to the page and its content, allowing them to contribute without accessing your Copilot chat session.
Create a Word document from your page: Convert a page built in Copilot Pages into a Word document, enabling seamless collaboration and content management.

What are the current limitations of Copilot Pages?

Data source scope: Copilot Pages primarily work with content stored in Microsoft 365 (e.g., SharePoint, OneDrive, Loop). External data sources or third-party integrations may not be fully supported yet.
Customization constraints: While you can edit and refine AI-generated content, deep customization (e.g., layout changes, advanced formatting) may be limited compared to traditional SharePoint pages.
Multiplayer collaboration: Real-time co-authoring is supported, but AI responses may not always reflect simultaneous edits by multiple users unless the page is refreshed or re-engaged.
Versioning and history: Unlike traditional documents, version control is not currently supported.
Performance with large pages: Pages with a high volume of embedded content or complex structures may experience slower AI response times or rendering issues.
Copilot responsiveness: Insightful responses depend on the richness of the underlying data. Sparse or poorly structured content may lead to generic or less helpful suggestions.
