Microsoft #Copilot for #Microsoft365 has the capability to access data stored within your Microsoft 365 tenant, including mailboxes in #Exchange Online and documents in #SharePoint or #OneDrive.

In addition to accessing Microsoft 365 content, Copilot can also use content from the specific file you're working on in the context of an Office app session, regardless of where that file is stored.
