Individual developers looking to improve their own Copilot usage

Pros

  • Quickly clarifies the differences between Copilot Business and Enterprise plans
  • Provides direct links to documentation for content exclusion and telemetry settings
  • Updated recently

Cons

  • No hands-on exercises or sandboxed environment to test settings
  • Essentially a text-based version of the official pricing and policy pages
  • Too high-level for a developer who already uses Copilot daily

The 'Managing content exclusions' section just linked me to the docs. I was hoping for a sandbox or at least some simulated YAML files to see how it works in a repo. Instead, it's just a text summary of the features you see on the pricing page. It does a decent job of laying out the differences between the Business and Enterprise tiers—that's the main takeaway.

There's a page on troubleshooting common issues. Most of it is 'check your network' or 're-authenticate.' Nothing a developer hasn't already tried. I was in and out in about 20 minutes. It felt less like training and more like a sales enablement deck for a manager who has to decide which plan to buy. If that's you, fine. If you're a dev trying to fine-tune your own Copilot, you're not going to find much here.
