Copilot, Fully Used.

Who it's for

Office workers, managers and analysts whose company pays for Copilot, who are too busy to experiment and slightly embarrassed that they haven't. No technical background needed. If your organization only has Copilot Chat rather than the full Microsoft 365 license, chapter one tells you exactly what you can and can't do, and most of the book still applies.

What's inside

1. Which Copilot you actually haveChat versus the apps license, what each one can see, and why your results depend on it.
2. The briefing patternContext, task, format, check. The four lines that turn a vague question into a usable answer, every time.
3. OutlookInbox triage, the "what is being asked of me" pass, drafting in your own voice, and the follow-up you keep forgetting.
4. TeamsMeeting recaps you'll actually read, catching up on a channel after vacation, and pulling actions out of a transcript.
5. WordFirst drafts from bullets, rewriting for a different audience, and a review pass that catches what you no longer see.
6. ExcelFormulas explained in English, cleaning a messy sheet, and "what's interesting in this data" without a pivot table.
7. PowerPointOutline first, deck second, speaker notes last. Why starting in the slide view is the mistake.
8. Finding thingsFiles, emails and decisions across your tenant, and how to ask so it finds the right one.
9. GuardrailsWhat Copilot can see, what it can't, what should never be pasted, and a two-minute check before anything leaves your hands.
10. A week of habitsThe 15-minute daily routine that makes the first nine chapters stick.
