Microsoft CopilotfeatureOutlook Emails as References in Copilot Notebooks
You can now add Outlook emails as knowledge sources in a Copilot Notebook, alongside files.
Details
- Notebooks previously accepted only files and documents as references, so email context had to be pasted in by hand
- Added through Add content, then choosing Outlook emails and picking the relevant threads
- Emails then feed downstream outputs generated from the notebook, such as presentations and briefs
- Available on Windows and Web across Microsoft 365. Roadmap ID 564910
Best for
Grounding a notebook in the email threads where a project's decisions were actually made.
When to use it
The context Copilot needs lives in a thread, not in a document, and outputs keep coming back generic.
Who benefits
Anyone building briefs, decks, or summaries in Copilot Notebooks from work that ran over email.
