Key takeaways:A Copilot Page is technically a Loop Page, powered by the Microsoft Loop app.Pages begin as Copilot chats and become editable documents via the “Edit in Pages” button.These are stored as .loop files on OneDrive, inheriting full M365 governance like retention, sensitivity labels, and lifecycle policies.Under the hood, each page lives in a SharePoint Embedded container, which is essentially a lightweight SharePoint site.Admins can view, manage, and restore these containers, with reassignment workflows coming soon — crucial for maintaining ownership after users leave.18:17 – Tip of the Week: Folder Ownership Mapping with Power Automate Joe shares a clever solution for a messy SharePoint migration:Users didn’t know who owned what folder.He built a Power Automate flow to get file properties, track editors, deduplicate with a union expression, and email requesters with appropriate contacts.He also used the item() expression to loop through results and automate notifications.Thing of the week links Power Automate Item() Expression video example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gC86gF_774IBulb Digital Episode - https://www.linkedin.com/posts/josephbcole_m365-is-changing-heres-what-it-means-for-activity-7349507471398322176-5wZX?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAVnRisBMH96yvZL0kLlMFU2BE0wcYGEj_YFollow Apple Podcasts – ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/level-up-m365/id1718776415⁠Spotify – ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/levelupm365/⁠Newsletter/Socials – ⁠https://levelupm365.com/subscribe-social-page/

AI Summary Chatbots are reactive; they respond when prompted (e.g., retrieving a calendar event when asked).Agentic AI (Autonomous Bots) take proactive actions based on predefined conditions (e.g., monitoring tasks for inactivity and flagging overdue ones).Use Case Example: In software development, an agentic bot could take requirements from a structured document, set up databases, create UI forms, and generate Power BI dashboards—automating much of the early development work.Differentiation: Autonomous bots are typically specialized in a narrow task, while chatbots are broader in scope but less in-depth. IE. Password reset, queries on HR policies, onboarding FAQ, etc. LinksMicrosoft Blog autonomous agents - https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2024/10/21/new-autonomous-agents-scale-your-team-like-never-before/Copilot Chat Bot - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot/copilot-101/what-is-a-chatbotcheckout my Copilot AI category for my details - https://levelupm365.com/category/microsoft/copilot/AI Generated Transcription - https://levelupm365.com/portfolio/podcast-12-fireside-chat-autonomous-agentic-agents-vs-generative-ai-chat-bot-ai-transcripts/If this was helpful consider following the show and view the website for more resources - https://levelupm365.com/

Episode Summary Think strategically about adoption and modularity with M365. Get familiar with low-code tools, explore existing configurations, and aim for scalable solutions that other departments can reuse. Don't ignore easy governance, and be cautious of moving towards a commercial off-the-shelf (COT) solution simply because you think it will be easier to implement.
