Details:

We are introducing a dynamic filtering experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot search that empowers users to refine their results more precisely by leveraging data source-specific filters in the right rail. When a user selects a data source from the right rail, such as Outlook, SharePoint, Jira, or Copilot Chats, the interface dynamically presents a tailored set of filters specific to that source. These refiners allow users to narrow down results based on attributes unique to the selected data source, such as item type, status, or semantic labels.

Increased Support Tickets
The introduction of new filters without adequate training or documentation may result in a surge of support tickets as users struggle to adapt to the new functionality, overwhelming the IT support team.
