Your monthly roundup of what's new in Copilot in SharePoint.

Copilot in SharePoint general availability rollout started on September 30 — read the announcement blog for the full story. 

But general availability isn't the finish line, and this month's release makes that clear. October is about what happens after Copilot creates something — reviewing it, restructuring it, publishing it, and getting it to the people who need to act on it. You'll find new ways to reshape documents and images, review and publish generated HTML, and send the result on without ever leaving the site. Round it out with plugins that reach your other business systems, workflows you can describe in a sentence, and analytics you can simply ask for, and the pattern this month is a simple one: fewer trips out of SharePoint to finish the job. 

Most of these capabilities are included with your Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Image generation and editing, advanced autofill, and site analytics use Copilot Credits, which have started rolling out as part of general availability.

Create and refine content

Split, merge, and reorder PDFs without leaving SharePoint

What’s new: Copilot in SharePoint can now work with PDFs at the page and section level, letting you extract sections, insert attachments, reorder pages, and split a document into separate files.

Why it matters: You can reorganize large documents for different reviewers and audiences without leaving SharePoint.

Sample use cases:

• Pull the pricing section out of an RFP response packet for a reviewer.
• Insert a late attachment at a specific point or reorder a packet to match a required structure.
• Split one document into separate copies for different audiences.

Try this prompt: “Pull the pricing section out of the response packet into its own PDF.”

Availability: Included with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.

Review and restore earlier file versions 

What's new: Ask Copilot to read version history, explain what changed, and restore an earlier version when you need to undo an unwanted edit.  

Why it matters: You can investigate and recover from changes through conversation instead of manually opening and comparing multiple versions.  

Sample use case: A content owner reviews what changed after an accidental edit and restores the last approved version.  

Try these prompts: 

• Compare the latest version of this file with the previous version, summarize the changes, and restore the earlier version if I approve. 

• Show me the version history for this item and summarize what changed in each version. 

• Restore this document to version 2.0. 

Availability: Included with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. 

Create and edit images right in your libraries

What’s new: Generate new images or edit existing ones with Copilot in SharePoint, with results shown as a preview in the Copilot pane.

Why it matters: You can work with document scans and photos from the field where your content already lives, and pair image editing with a custom skill that defines company-specific terms such as “PII.”

Sample use case: Use a custom skill that defines your company’s PII criteria to request redaction from a field photo, preview the result, and save it as a separate copy.

Try this prompt: “Redact all PII from this image and save the result as a new copy.”

Availability: Available with a Copilot License and Copilot Credits, which are rolling out this month.

Organize and structure files 

Autofill metadata in near real-time 

What’s new:  Autofill turns a library of documents into structured, filterable data — you describe the column you want, and Copilot reads each file and fills it in. The existing autofill experience from the Copilot in SharePoint preview remains available with a Copilot license, but we’re also adding a new capability called Advanced Autofill. With advanced autofill, sites with Copilot Credits enabled get that work done on a faster processing queue, with most files completing in a few minutes (up to about an hour when services are especially busy).  

Why it matters: Advanced Autofill simply gets you to a structured, organized library sooner, which is great for high priority documents.  

Sample use cases: 

• Formalize customer feedback into a work item — Point Copilot at the library where your team drops customer calls, survey exports and escalation notes, and add columns for product area, sentiment, requested change and severity. Every new file gets classified as it lands, so raw feedback arrives ready to triage into a work item instead of waiting to be read. 

• Track exceptions in a list — For contracts, POs or policy documents, add columns for non-standard terms, approval status and owner. Advanced Autofill flags the exceptions across the whole library quickly, so your team reviews the handful that deviate rather than opening every file. 

• Turn requests for help into an issue list — When support requests, intake forms or IT tickets are stored as documents, autofill columns for request type, affected team, urgency and next action. The library becomes a working issue list you can sort, filter and assign — no manual tagging. 

Try this prompt: "Create autofill columns for this library that capture the request type, the team affected, urgency, and the recommended next action for each document."

Availability: Available with a Copilot License and Copilot Credits, which are rolling out this month.

Work with HTML in SharePoint 

Review & update generated HTML with comments 

What’s new: Review AI-generated HTML the same way you review a Word document. Leave a comment on what you want changed, and Copilot handles the underlying HTML, CSS, and layout edits. 

Why it matters: Feedback stays anchored to the exact content. Reviewers can focus on the desired outcome while Copilot preserves everything that wasn’t mentioned. 

Sample use case: A project lead comments on a generated status dashboard to simplify a chart, rename a section, and clarify an alert—without writing a technical editing prompt. 

Try this prompt after leaving comments on an HTML page: “Fix the issues in the comments and show me the updated version.” 

Watch the demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6o8iz9b4WY

Availability: Included with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. 

Display HTML as a SharePoint page 

What’s new: Create HTML with Copilot in SharePoint or upload HTML from another source, then store it in the pages library to render it as a SharePoint page, make additional edits, and share it with your audience. 

Why it matters: HTML gives you another way to present your content alongside existing ASPX pages. 

Sample use case: Create a project newsletter that brings together the project summary, team members, and decisions and action items from the latest team meeting. 

Try this prompt: “Create an HTML newsletter about Project Alpha. Include a summary of the project, team members involved, and the decisions and action items from our most recent weekly team meeting.” 

Availability: Included with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.

Share your content 

Send an email from Copilot 

What's new: Copilot in SharePoint can now send email for you. Ask it to create something — an HTML report, a summary, a planning update — and tell it who should receive it, and Copilot will generate the content, resolve the recipients you named (including references like "my manager" or "my reports"), and send the report as the body of the email rather than as an attachment. One prompt takes you from request to delivered. 

Why it matters: The work isn't done when the report is finished — it's done when the right people have read it. And because the report lands in the email body, recipients read it the moment they open the message — no download, no attachment, no "which version is this?" — and because Copilot resolves people from how you actually refer to them, you don't have to stop and look up who's on the distribution. You stay in control of what goes out: Copilot shows you the message before it sends. 

Sample use cases: 

• Share a monthly plan with your leadership chain — Generate a team planning report from your site content and send it straight to your manager, with your reports on CC, so everyone sees the same plan at the same time. 

• Send a status update without leaving the site — Summarize what changed in a library or list this week and email it to your stakeholders, no copy-paste into Outlook. 

• Distribute a readout to the people who need it — Turn a set of documents into a formatted summary and send it to the project team, with the content in the email body so it's readable on any device. 

Try this prompt: "Create an HTML report of my team's planning for next month and send it to my manager, CC my reports." 

Availability: Included with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.

Connect content and business systems 

Bring your other systems into Copilot in SharePoint 

What’s new: Plugins let Copilot in SharePoint work with systems such as GitHub, CRM systems, publishing platforms, and internal tools, supporting both read and write scenarios with human approval on bulk actions. 

Why it matters: Install a plugin once through Microsoft 365 and use it in the SharePoint sites where your team’s documents already live, while IT retains control over governance and who can access each plugin. 

Sample use case: Cross-check a pipeline review in SharePoint against Dynamics 365 to identify deals with changed close dates and create follow-up tasks. 

Try this prompt: “Cross-check the accounts in this site’s Q3 pipeline review against Dynamics 365, flag any deals where the close date has slipped, and log a follow-up task on each one.” 

Availability: Included with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. 

Automate simple workflows 

Automate files and lists with rich formatting in Teams 

What’s New: Copilot can help you build a quick workflow to collaborate in chats or channels when key file changes and metadata updates occur. Don’t worry about triggers, actions, or setting up your own Power Automate flow, let workflows use the context of SharePoint and help build automatic notifications. Now with adaptive card support when you post a message in a chat or channel, simply tell Copilot what metadata fields to include and how you want the formatting to look. Want to send an email instead? Just ask Copilot and switch your workflow action with a simple prompt.

Go beyond simple text updates and let Copilot and SharePoint build you a beautiful, information rich adaptive card with helpful buttons and links back to SharePoint.

Why it matters: Collaboration happens in Teams or email. Let the content live in document libraries or lists and post key updates when new files are added, metadata meets a specified criteria, or recurring reminders to update files assigned to me in SharePoint. 

Sample use cases: 

• Send high value invoices for leadership review — when you receive an invoice over $500k, post an exception notice in your chat with leadership, gather input and review critical details before processing a payment. 

• Route contract updates to the deal room — when a file in the Contracts library is updated, post a card to the deal channel with the version, the owner, and a link back to SharePoint so the team reviews the current copy. 

• Review RFP’s — post a message in the bid channel whenever a new RFP document lands, and notify the assigned reviewer privately so the response window never opens late.  

Try this prompt: When a new file is added, post a nice looking summary card in my Teams channel with key file details and a button to open the file.

Availability: Included with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Requires access to Power Automate.

Understand content performance 

Ask how your site and content are performing 

What’s new: Site owners can ask about site, page, news, and document performance in plain language, assemble the numbers in one place, and turn the results into a custom HTML report to share. 

Why it matters: Instead of gathering insights from separate places or working around fixed reporting windows, you can tailor the metrics to the view you need. 

Sample use case: Create a report covering pages, news, and documents to see which content is most popular on your site this week. 

Try these prompts: 

• “Which pages on this site get the most views and unique visitors?” 

• “How is my site performing this month?” 

• “Which documents on this site are being viewed the most?” 

• “Summarize the average time spent on my top pages and tell me what stands out.” 

• “How did my last news post perform compared to the previous one?” 

• “Build me a custom analytics report for this site covering pages, news and documents, and highlight what's popular this week” 

Availability: Available with a Copilot License and Copilot Credits, which are rolling out this month. 

A chat experience that’s always improving  

This month we added suggestion chips: after Copilot responds, you'll see contextual follow-ups right under the answer. They help you refine the result, dig deeper, or take the next action — so you never have to stare at an empty prompt box wondering what to ask next. We’re also added a quick access option for skills, similar to the way you access files, people, and meetings, so you can discover and add the right skill when you need it. Together they make Copilot in SharePoint easier to start with, and easier to keep going with.

See you next month for more updates!

A quick note before we get into it: What's New in Teams is shifting from a monthly to a quarterly rhythm. You'll hear from us next in December, March, and June, and each edition will round up everything announced and released over the full quarter. One post, one fuller view of what's new. 

Two investments shape where Teams is heading, and you'll see both in this quarter's releases: AI transforming teamwork with agents as part of the team, and a simpler, smarter, more secure foundation underneath it all. 

AI in Teams is showing up in the flow of your work. Teams Phone Agent brings that to your phone line, helping callers with common requests in more than 60 languages and routing them with context attached, so a missed call turns into a next step instead of a lost one. 

Context carries forward, too. Video recap turns a meeting you missed into a short, narrated highlight reel, so what a meeting decided outlasts the conversation itself. 

And protection for everyday collaboration is always top of mind. The new Security Detection Report brings detections such as impersonation and malicious URLs into one view in the Teams admin center, so admins see the whole picture in one place.

Enhance control of delegated calls with call lock and delegate join alerts

These capabilities are available for in-progress meetings and calls rule types, and organizations can configure monitoring for up to 500 users across their real-time alerting rules. 

Security Detection Report in Teams admin center 

A new Security Detection Report in the Teams admin center gives admins a unified view of messaging security detections across signals such as impersonation, malicious URLs, and weaponizable file types. Admins can review detection activity in one place and export detailed data for further investigation, improving visibility into threats in Teams. 

Single pane for monitoring and troubleshooting meetings and calls (Windows) 

Administrators can monitor meeting and call health across the organization from one place, identifying recurring issues, uncovering trends, and proactively troubleshooting problems affecting people in both live and past meetings and calls. 

Meeting participant detail audit records in all participating tenants

Teams Platform 

Unified agent and app installation management across Microsoft 365 and Teams admin center (Windows) 

Administrators using the Microsoft 365 admin center and Teams admin center can apply app and agent installation changes once and have them enforced consistently across Teams, Outlook, and Microsoft 365 Copilot. Previously, installation changes made in the Microsoft 365 admin center applied only to Outlook and Microsoft 365, and changes made in the Teams admin center applied only to Teams. 

Identify custom Teams apps that need updates for private and shared channels 

Admins can view a list in Teams admin center of custom apps in their tenant that need updates to work in private and shared channels. The list helps admins identify impacted apps, understand which ones require developer action, and coordinate updates so people can keep using custom apps across all supported channel types. 

Prominent search for app and agent discovery in the Store 

Search now sits in the middle of the Store page, with improved type-ahead suggestions, a more informative results page, and natural language processing to surface the most relevant apps and agents. 

Add multiple steps when building a workflow from scratch 

When building a workflow from scratch, you can add several steps at once, so you can assemble multi-step automation without returning to edit it step by step, reducing repetitive setup work and simplifying the creation of more advanced automations.

Collect information with List Form in Workflows 

A workflow can open with a form that gathers the details it needs up front, so automation runs on structured input rather than chasing information midway. 

Single-character keyboard shortcuts for focused message actions (Windows) 

Single-character shortcuts let you quickly take common messaging actions such as edit, delete, reply, forward, pin, save, mark unread, quote reply, and react when a message has keyboard focus. The shortcuts are a predefined messaging set, and they are discoverable and customizable in the keyboard shortcuts dialog.

My team develops a microservices application on Kubernetes, with hundreds of PRs opened each day. To let engineers test and review those changes in isolation before they’re merged, we give every pull request its own ephemeral environment.

We use Pulumi to define those short-lived PR environments from a component resource that’s shared with our long-lived Dev, Stage, Prod environments. Each PR gets its own Pulumi stack and Kubernetes namespace, which we tear down once the PR is merged or closed.

In this post, I’ll walk through how we’ve implemented this pattern and what we’ve learned from running it at scale.

How our ephemeral environments work

A Kubernetes namespace gives each PR its own place to run, but to get to a working preview environment we need to do quite a bit on top of that. We still need to deploy the application into that namespace, make it reachable to reviewers, update it as new commits arrive, and remove it when the PR closes. And while a namespace separates the Kubernetes resources for each preview, things like database isolation, access controls, and network policies depend on the application and cluster.

Pulumi gives us a way to define these environments once while managing each one independently. Dev, Stage, Prod, and each PR run the same Pulumi program in separate stacks. The program defines the infrastructure for an environment, while each stack maintains its own configuration and state. For each PR, our CI creates or updates its Pulumi stack as new commits arrive, then destroys it when the PR closes.

Defining the environment

Our implementation uses a single custom Pulumi component, but for the simplified example below, we’ve split it into two components to make the pattern easier to follow.

• StackInstance represents one environment, whether that’s Dev, Stage, Prod, or a PR preview. It creates a namespace within our existing Kubernetes cluster, along with resources shared by the services in that environment, including the Secret used to pull images from the container registry.

• K8Instance represents one microservice within that environment. It creates the Kubernetes resources needed to run the service and make it reachable through its preview URL, including a Deployment, Service, and Ingress. Each K8Instance uses the namespace and image pull Secret created by StackInstance, so an environment can contain multiple microservices without each one recreating those shared resources.

The following example assumes that shared infrastructure such as the Kubernetes cluster, ingress controller, and routing is already in place:

import pulumi
import pulumi_kubernetes as k8s


class StackInstance(pulumi.ComponentResource):
 def __init__(self, name: str, namespace_name: str,
 registry_config: pulumi.Input[str], opts=None):
 super().__init__("example:app:StackInstance", name, {}, opts)

 self.namespace = k8s.core.v1.Namespace(
 f"{name}-namespace",
 metadata={"name": namespace_name},
 opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(parent=self),
 )
 self.pull_secret = k8s.core.v1.Secret(
 f"{name}-registry",
 metadata={"name": "registry-auth", "namespace": namespace_name},
 type="kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson",
 string_data={".dockerconfigjson": registry_config},
 opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(
 parent=self, depends_on=[self.namespace]
 ),
 )
 self.namespace_name = pulumi.Output.from_input(namespace_name)
 self.register_outputs({"namespace": self.namespace_name})


class K8Instance(pulumi.ComponentResource):
 def __init__(self, name: str, stack: StackInstance,
 image: pulumi.Input[str], host: str, opts=None):
 super().__init__("example:app:K8Instance", name, {}, opts)
 labels = {"app": name}

 deployment = k8s.apps.v1.Deployment(
 f"{name}-deployment",
 metadata={"namespace": stack.namespace_name},
 spec={
 "replicas": 1,
 "selector": {"match_labels": labels},
 "template": {
 "metadata": {"labels": labels},
 "spec": {
 "image_pull_secrets": [{"name": "registry-auth"}],
 "containers": [{
 "name": name,
 "image": image,
 "ports": [{"container_port": 8080}],
 }],
 },
 },
 },
 opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(
 parent=self, depends_on=[stack.namespace, stack.pull_secret]
 ),
 )
 service = k8s.core.v1.Service(
 f"{name}-service",
 metadata={"name": name, "namespace": stack.namespace_name},
 spec={
 "selector": labels,
 "ports": [{"port": 80, "target_port": 8080}],
 },
 opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(parent=self, depends_on=[deployment]),
 )
 k8s.networking.v1.Ingress(
 f"{name}-ingress",
 metadata={"namespace": stack.namespace_name},
 spec={
 "rules": [{
 "host": host,
 "http": {"paths": [{
 "path": "/",
 "path_type": "Prefix",
 "backend": {"service": {
 "name": name,
 "port": {"number": 80},
 }},
 }]},
 }],
 },
 opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(parent=self, depends_on=[service]),
 )
 self.url = pulumi.Output.from_input(f"https://{host}")
 self.register_outputs({"url": self.url})


config = pulumi.Config()
stack = StackInstance(
 "environment",
 namespace_name=config.require("namespace"),
 registry_config=config.require_secret("registryDockerConfig"),
)
web = K8Instance(
 "web",
 stack=stack,
 image=config.require("webImage"),
 host=config.require("webHost"),
 opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(parent=stack),
)
pulumi.export("namespace", stack.namespace_name)
pulumi.export("web_url", web.url)

For a PR environment, we might configure the stack with a namespace such as pr-1042, a host such as pr-1042.preview.example.com, and the container image built for that PR. Dev, Stage, and Prod use the same program and components with configuration for their own environments. Our example creates the namespace as part of StackInstance, but if the namespace already exists outside the stack, we’d pass it into the component instead of creating another one.

Because we destroy the entire PR stack when the PR closes, it should only own resources that are safe to delete with the preview. Shared, long-lived infrastructure stays outside the stack and is passed in where the environment needs it.

Managing the PR lifecycle

Our CI and cleanup workflow follows three stages for PR stacks:

• Create: When a PR is opened, CI creates a Pulumi stack for the preview and runs pulumi up to deploy the environment. Pulumi creates the Ingress for the configured preview URL and exports that URL so CI can retrieve it. Once the application is ready and reachable, CI shares the URL with reviewers.

• Update: When a new commit is pushed, CI runs pulumi up on the same stack with the new container image, updating the existing preview environment to reflect the latest version of the PR. Because pulumi up reconciles the entire stack, we review the preview after each update to make sure everything is working as expected.

• Reconcile and remove: A scheduled job compares the PR stacks with the current state of their corresponding pull requests. Once a PR is closed and any configured grace period has passed, the job destroys the stack’s resources and removes the empty stack record. (The grace period can give reviewers a little time before the environment disappears.)

To tear down a PR stack, we run:

pulumi destroy --stack pr-1042 --yes
pulumi stack rm pr-1042 --yes

pulumi destroy removes the resources managed by the stack, but leaves the stack record in place. We run pulumi stack rm only after the destroy succeeds.

The scheduled pass matters even if CI tries to delete a preview as soon as its PR closes. Webhooks and jobs can fail; reconciliation gives missed deletions another chance. The grace period is a team decision, not a universal constant.

Lessons from running PR previews at scale

From running hundreds of PR environments per day, we’ve learned a few things about keeping them reliable.

Serialize updates to the same PR stack

Developers sometimes push several commits to a PR in quick succession, which can cause two CI jobs to try to update the same Pulumi stack at once. We encountered stack operation conflicts when this happened.

We now serialize updates for each PR stack, while still allowing different PR stacks to update in parallel. If a CI job is interrupted, we also check the stack for an active operation before starting another update.

Build cleanup to recover from failures

Cleanup failures can leave behind orphaned PR environments, which become more of a problem as the number of PR stacks grows. Even if CI tries to remove an environment when its PR closes, jobs and webhooks can fail. We run a scheduled reconciliation job to compare existing PR stacks with the current state of their pull requests and retry cleanup for environments that should no longer exist.

Cleanup also needs to account for infrastructure drift. If a resource has been changed or removed outside Pulumi, the stack state may no longer match what’s actually running in Kubernetes. If that causes a destroy to fail, we run pulumi refresh to reconcile the state before retrying. We also verify that resources have actually been deleted when the provider can’t confirm their removal.

The result

On average, it takes about four minutes from the start of pulumi up until the PR environment is ready and reachable at its preview URL. That includes deploying the Kubernetes resources, waiting for the application to become ready, and configuring routing (the container image is built beforehand).

This approach lets us use the same Pulumi program and components for PR previews as we do for Dev, Stage, and Prod, while giving each environment its own configuration, state, and lifecycle. It keeps the infrastructure consistent across environments without requiring us to maintain a separate implementation for PR previews.
