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. 1In Microsoft 365 Copilot, open the “Notebooks” tab in the left pane. You'll see your existing notebooks (personal “Just you” or “Shared”).

  3. 3Add 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. 4Search and select each source to track (documents, email threads, meeting notes, SharePoint pages). The notebook becomes Copilot's reasoning scope.
  5. 5Ask your questions inside the notebook: Copilot answers based ONLY on the added sources, ideal to synthesize your watch, compare versions or generate a recap.

  6. 6Grow 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.
