Authoring Copilot in SharePoint combines the power of Large Language Models (LLMs), your data in the Microsoft Graph, and best practices to create engaging new web pages. It can utilize built-in templates or custom templates from your organization, along with existing documents as grounding data, to generate high-quality page content. All of this is achieved while upholding our commitment to data security and privacy in the enterprise.
Introducing two new DLP Exchange predicates: “Message contains” and “Attachment contains” with a focus on DLP evaluation on only specific email components like email body or attachments.
