Metadata understanding support for queries scoped to SharePoint document libraries or folders
[Web]
We're introducing column metadata support for queries in Microsoft 365 Copilot when a SharePoint library or folder is attached or its URL is provided. This enhancement improves contextual relevance by enabling Copilot to leverage additional metadata from the selected library, delivering more accurate and meaningful results.

What changed:
Copilot queries that target SharePoint document libraries or folders now leverage column metadata when the library or folder is attached or its URL is provided. Previously, Copilot did not use this metadata, limiting contextual understanding. This update improves accuracy and relevance of query results by incorporating additional metadata fields.
Why:
Using column metadata enhances Copilot's ability to understand the context of documents, providing more precise and meaningful responses.
Try this:
Attach a SharePoint document library or folder URL in Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Enter a query referencing documents in the selected library or folder.
Review the results that now reflect metadata context for improved accuracy.
Why this matters:
Better metadata understanding leads to more relevant and actionable information from SharePoint content.
Business impact:
Teams gain improved insights from SharePoint documents, supporting better decision-making and collaboration.
Personal impact:
You receive more accurate query results, reducing time spent searching for relevant documents.
