Microsoft Loop and Copilot took center stage but there was more....

What a huge week it has been for #microsoft365 . Microsoft #copilot and #microsoftloop took center stage and well deserved. These 2 are going to really change the way work gets done in a way that we have not seen before. I know that might sound over the top, but I truly believe this.

If you have not caught up with the Microsoft Loop News then you can check out my guide to the?Loop app here.?Here is the?Copilot session?as well if you missed the announcement.

Now if you see the message that your organisation is not yet ready and enabled for Microsoft Loop then you can point your IT Team to?this page here?or them to configure things.

As always, I have been through the Microsoft 365 Roadmap and Message Center to bring you some knowledge about what is coming, what you can take advantage moving forward.

So, here we go, this weeks hand-picked value bombs straight from my mind to your that I think you should know about ??
