Frequently Asked Questions

Can Copilot access my private OneNote notebooks?

Copilot can only search and synthesize data that you have explicit permissions to access. When the feature is supported in your tenant, it strictly respects your existing OneNote privacy and sharing settings.

Why is Copilot not finding my recently created Loop components?

Indexing new content can take some time. Additionally, full Copilot integration for Microsoft Loop is continually being rolled out and updated, so it might not immediately retrieve data from newly created collaborative workspaces.

Where can I request better Copilot integration for OneNote?

You can submit your feature requests and workflow suggestions directly to the Microsoft product teams via the Microsoft Feedback Portal at feedbackportal.microsoft.com.
