What changed:
When clicking on an email reference or source in Microsoft 365 Copilot apps, the email opens alongside Chat instead of requiring a separate Outlook window. Previously, users had to switch apps to view email content. This integration streamlines access to email information within the Copilot environment.
Why:
This change reduces context switching and speeds up information retrieval by keeping emails accessible within the Copilot workspace.
Try this:
In a Microsoft 365 Copilot app, locate an email reference.
Click the email link to open it in Chat.
Browse the email content alongside your chat or tasks.
Why this matters:
Quick access to emails within Copilot improves productivity and decision making by keeping relevant information in one place.
Business impact:
Teams can collaborate more efficiently by referencing emails without leaving the Copilot interface.
Personal impact:
You save time by avoiding app switching and can respond to emails faster within your workflow.
