Define the role you want Microsoft 365 Copilot to play in your business workflow: Review

It's structured around three business scenarios: a weekly status report, a client proposal deck, and an executive summary. But for each one, you don't actually *do* anything. You just read descriptions of what Copilot could theoretically do if you had it. 'Copilot can summarize this meeting,' 'Copilot can create a presentation from this document.' Okay, show me. Let me try.

There's no sandbox, no sample prompts to experiment with, not even a simulated environment. You just read a few paragraphs and then click 'Next.' The weekly status report example, for instance, talks about pulling info from Teams chats and emails. Great idea. But the module just states this is possible; it doesn't give you a feel for how messy that gets in real life, or what a good prompt looks like versus a bad one. It's all perfect-world scenarios.

The knowledge check at the end was just multiple-choice questions asking you to recall which button you'd theoretically click. I finished it in under 30 minutes, and most of that was just reading time. It gives you the 'what,' but zero 'how.' I get that they can't give everyone a live Copilot instance, but a video demo or an interactive simulator would have been a thousand times more useful. It's a tour of the showroom, not a test drive.
