1. Visit m365.cloud.microsoft
2. Log in with your Tufts credentials.
3. Select Apps in the lefthand menu.
4. Select the Copilot app.
5. Once the Copilot Chat app opens, right-click on the Copilot icon and pin it to your lefthand toolbar! This will pin Copilot and Pages (which you can use with Copilot) to your toolbar for easy access in the future!
6. The Copilot Chat app will have an interface similar to the one shown below.

(1) New chat – Start a new “conversation” or set of related prompts

(2) Current chat – The current set of prompts and responses, organized into a “conversation”

(3) Compose - Prepare a new prompt within this chat

(4) Attach – Include files in a prompt, which Copilot can reference, pull information from, etc.

(5) Agents – Specialized copilot assistants dedicated to certain knowledge bases, data sources, services, etc.

(6) Recent chats – A list of your recent Copilot conversations. Click to open.

(7) Open in Pages – Save helpful responses to new or existing Pages so you can go back to them later.

Files can be attached to chat prompts, similar to the way you can attach files to emails. Copilot can then reference the information in those files when generating responses. Uploaded files are automatically saved to your Tufts Microsoft OneDrive account.

See Microsoft Support for information about compatible file types.  At this time, Microsoft restricts file uploads to basic Copilot Chat to one file at a time and a maximum file size of 1 MB. File upload restrictions are subject to change and may be impacted by demands on the service.

Attaching and Referencing Files in Prompts

Click the paperclip icon () and select a file to attach it to a prompt.

Viewing Uploaded Files

1. Visit the OneDrive web client and log in with your Tufts credentials.
2. Select My files in the lefthand menu.
3. Click into the Microsoft Copilot Chat Files folder. Files uploaded to Copilot chat will be located here.

Useful responses can be saved to durable Pages so that you can revisit them later.

Saving a Response to a Page

If you want to save a Copilot response for future reference, click Edit in Pages to add the prompt to a new page. You can also click Add to recent pages to add the prompt to existing page you already have.

Viewing Pages

When you’re in Copilot Chat, click the Pages icon in the lefthand menu to view and interact with your Pages.

A list of your Pages will load. You can view, edit, share, and more.

Remember: You are responsible for any content that you produce or publish which includes AI-generated material.
 
Generative AI can be useful for brainstorming, and for assisting with writing, summarizing, and other tasks, but you should never just copy and paste an answer generated by Microsoft Copilot. 

Don't use generative AI as a replacement for your own learning and understanding! Always read, check, and verify the information that AI generates.

• AI can be wrong and can generate fake information. 
• AI can infringe copyright, subjecting you to lawsuits and damages. 
• AI can impact digital privacy. 
• AI can be biased and contribute to unfair outcomes, discrimination, or unequal treatment.

With Copilot, you can brainstorm, learn, generate content, and assist you in your day to day job. These are sample prompts that you can try in Copilot to start to learn where Copilot might be useful for you.

• At Tufts, we have a one page list of practice Copilot prompts for various University roles, from summarizing meeting notes to outlining presentations and more.
• Microsoft's Copilot Prompt Gallery walks through various prompts, tips on using Copilot, and detailed explanations of what Copilot is and how to use it.
