Teach Your Copilot—Skills in SharePoint & OneDrive

Episode Description from the Publisher

This month on Sync Up, Stephen Rice and Arvind Mishra are joined by Joe Komban, a Principal Product Manager on SharePoint, to explore two connected leaps forward for Copilot in SharePoint and OneDrive. First, the new file tools — watch Copilot build a quarterly report from a template, spreadsheet, and meeting transcript in minutes, convert it to PDF, grant every meeting attendee access, and even spin up an animated HTML dashboard. Then the star of the show: Copilot Skills, a way to teach Copilot your team's exact process — from legal reviews to file-naming conventions — so anyone can get expert-level output, even if they're not the expert. The team digs into how Skills work, where they live (just markdown files in SharePoint), the human-in-the-loop transparency built in, the community GitHub repo, and why "you're only limited by your imagination." Skills are available today with Copilot in SharePoint, with OneDrive file tools rolling out to frontier customers in the July–August timeframe.
