Create a Copilot Notebook to organize your watch

Bundle files, chats, meetings and emails on one topic into a Copilot Notebook: a dedicated space where Copilot reasons only over your curated sources.

✅ How to

  1. 1

    In Microsoft 365 Copilot, open the “Notebooks” tab in the left pane. You'll see your existing notebooks (personal “Just you” or “Shared”).

    Click “+” to create a notebook, give it a clear name tied to your topic (e.g. “Microsoft Copilot 2026 news”), then confirm.

  3. 3

    Add your sources via “Add”: switch to the “References” tab to pull from your Chats, Files, Meetings, Emails and Sites, or “Copilot Chats” to reuse past conversations.

  4. 4

    Search and select each source to track (documents, email threads, meeting notes, SharePoint pages). The notebook becomes Copilot's reasoning scope.

  5. 5

    Ask your questions inside the notebook: Copilot answers based ONLY on the added sources, ideal to synthesize your watch, compare versions or generate a recap.

    Grow the notebook over time: every new source or meeting added updates the context. Need more? “Open in OneNote” exports the content.

Create an infographic from Notebooks, based on your own content

Notebooks (which you can open straight from OneNote) does more than gather your sources: with a license, its « Create » menu generates a full infographic from the content referenced in your notebook. Here, we use the fictional « Thunderbolt » project to turn specs into a share-ready visual.
