explanation for non-techies**
Microsoft is enhancing its Copilot feature with a new chat history filtering capability, set to roll out in stages starting late August 2025. This feature is designed to help users easily navigate their past conversations by allowing them to filter and find relevant chats more efficiently. Imagine it like a digital filing cabinet where, instead of rummaging through every document, you can quickly sort and find exactly what you need based on specific criteria.
Previously, users had to scroll through their entire chat history to find a particular conversation, much like flipping through every page of a book to find a specific chapter. With the new filtering feature, it's akin to having a table of contents or an index that directs you straight to the chapter you need. This makes it easier to revisit previous discussions, prompts, and responses, aligning with your current workflow needs.
The feature will be enabled by default, meaning users won't need to do anything to start using it, and no administrative setup is required. It's like buying a new car that comes with GPS already installed and ready to use without any additional setup. This change aims to improve the overall user experience by making it more intuitive and efficient to recall past contexts in Copilot chats.
Organizations are encouraged to inform their users about this new capability to ensure they can take full advantage of the improved navigation experience. If your organization offers training or onboarding for Microsoft Copilot, consider including this update in your materials to help users get the most out of this new feature. There are no compliance considerations identified with this update, but it's always a good practice to review any new feature for your organization's specific needs.
