Welcome to Microsoft 365 for work

Copilot Chat without a Microsoft 365 Copilot add-on license gives you tailored responses based on the context and instructions of your prompt, including your choice of formatting, style, and tone. Agents within Copilot Chat can also automate tasks and boost team productivity while keeping you in control of your data.

Web search responses in Copilot Chat—also referred to as web-grounded responses—draw data from the public web in the Bing search index.

How you use Copilot Chat depends on whether you have a Microsoft 365 Copilot add-on license or not. If you have a Microsoft 365 Copilot add-on license, you'll see a Work and Web toggle at the top of your Chat page. If this toggle doesn't appear, you don't have a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.

To access Copilot Chat:

1. Go to Microsoft365.com/chat and if you're not already signed in, sign in with your work or school account.
2. From Chat, select one of the sample prompts and edit the prompt as needed. Or create your own prompt directly in the prompt field.
3. If you're not sure what to ask, select Prompt Gallery Document to get prompt suggestions.
4. Select Add a file if you want Copilot Chat to reference a specific file. There are file upload limits if you don't have an add-on license.
5. If you have a Copilot add-on license, you can type / and begin typing the people, file, meeting, or email you wish to link.
6. When you're satisfied with your prompt, select Send. Copilot Chat will begin generating a response to your prompt.

2. Enter your Microsoft 365 email address, then select Connect.

1. On your Microsoft 365 home page, select OneDrive.

3. On the Share files and folders page, select Next.

Keep your work safe and secure by setting up multifactor authentication. Multifactor authentication means that your company occasionally requires you to provide at least two factors confirming your identity before you can sign in. Typically, your password is the first factor. Secondary factors include options like a phone call, a text message, or an authentication app.

If your username and password are compromised and a criminal attempts to use them to sign in to your account, they'll be doing so from their own device. Since they're on a strange device when they enter your credentials, Microsoft 365 will ask them for the second factor. Without access to the second factor, such as your fingerprint or your authentication app, they will be blocked.

1. Open Word.
2. In the Create new document section (New if you’re using the desktop app), select Blank document.

4. Your document will be autosaved to OneDrive at regular intervals. You can type Ctrl+S at any time to save.
5. Note that instead of creating your document from a blank document, you can also choose to create it from one of many templates available to you. Just select More templates, then search for the template you need.
