explanation for non-techies**
Imagine your office as a library. In this library, you have books from various sections: law, management, HR, and more. Each section represents a different system or platform where your information is stored, like GitHub, Google Drive, or Salesforce. Now, let's say you want to find a specific piece of information, but it's scattered across these different sections. It would be time-consuming to search each section individually.
Microsoft 365 Copilot's new Graph connectors work like a super-efficient librarian who can quickly find and bring together information from all these different sections for you. These connectors allow Microsoft 365 to index and search content from third-party systems, much like how a librarian indexes books for easy retrieval. So, whether your information is in Google Drive, Jira, or even Zoom meeting transcripts, the connectors help you find what you need without having to search each platform separately.
Starting in October 2024, Microsoft is offering an early preview of these new connectors. It's like giving a sneak peek of this new librarian service to a few people before it's available to everyone. If you're interested in trying it out, you can sign up, but remember, there are limited spots available. Once set up, your team can use Microsoft 365 tools like SharePoint or Bing to search across all your connected platforms, making it easier to find the information you need quickly.
For more details, you can check out the official documentation links provided, which will guide you on how to sign up and use these new connectors.
