The “Reference a file” feature not working as documented
In Word, and based on the help documentation, I’m supposed to see the “Your computer” and “Online” tabs but I don’t see them when I choose “Reference a file”. I also see this in Outlook. I see only three Excel files and nothing else. These seem to be the last three Excel worksheets I accessed since the installation of Copilot. I tried to save an online Word document in OneDrive but wasn’t able to see this file when I clicked on “Reference a file”. What might be the issue?
Hi Daniel, thanks for reaching out.
Copilot can only use files which are stored “in scope of the platform”. For example SharePoint Online (and OneDrive). Depending on the application from which you start the prompt it will show the last 3 or 10 accessed items.
To use another file you need to paste the full path after the “/”.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask, we’re here to help you further if needed.
Your VAF Team.
