Overload of Information
Providing too many results at once can overwhelm users, making it difficult for them to find the information they need quickly, potentially leading to decision fatigue.

explanation for non-techies**

Imagine you're having a conversation with a personal assistant who is helping you organize your day. You've asked them to find some emails and meetings related to a project you're working on. They show you a few results, but you realize you need more information to make a decision. So, you simply say, "Can you show me more?" and they immediately provide additional emails, meetings, and files that are relevant to your request.

This is similar to how Microsoft Copilot works within Microsoft 365. It's like having a digital assistant that helps you navigate through your emails, calendar, and files during a conversation. When you're using Copilot in Microsoft Teams, for example, you can ask it to show more results if the initial information isn't enough. It picks up right where it left off, ensuring that the context of your search is maintained, and provides you with additional relevant results.

Think of it like flipping through a book where you're looking for specific information. Initially, you might find a few pages that seem relevant, but if you need more details, you continue flipping through the pages. Copilot acts like the hand that helps you turn those pages, making sure you don't lose track of where you were. This feature is available across various devices and platforms, including Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows, making it a versatile tool for staying organized and informed.
