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

    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.
