Anyone in your organisation can build a Copilot agent this afternoon. A few clicks in the agent builder, no code, and in most tenants no approval step standing in the way. The uncomfortable part is the next sentence. Most admins cannot tell you how many already exist. That is the next governance problem, and it…
Try running Get-PnPTenantSite -Url and PnP throws an error back at you. It wants -Identity. But Remove-PnPTenantSite still takes -Url. Same noun, three sibling cmdlets, and the parameter name is not the same across them. I have lost more minutes to that one inconsistency than I would like to admit. So I built a small…
Everyone is building Copilot agents now, and the first fork you hit is a confusing one: a declarative agent, or a custom engine agent? The names do not help, and most explanations bury the answer under a feature table. So here is the distinction that actually decides it, and it comes down to a single…
You inherit a permission audit script, point it at the tenant, and it comes back with a tidy report. A few overshared sites, nothing catastrophic. You sign off on the Copilot rollout. And the report may be lying to you in a way that has nothing to do with the script, and everything to do…
You checked the connectors gallery, and your system is not in it. Documentum. iManage. An OpenText archive. An on-premises SharePoint farm nobody wants to talk about. So the plan forms: we will have to build a custom connector. Stop for a moment. Between “Microsoft does not have one” and “we build our own” sits a…
Sooner or later, the prebuilt catalogue runs out. You go looking for a connector to bring some system into Copilot, and it is not there because the system is homegrown, or niche, or something a vendor built for you a decade ago. Now you have a choice: build a custom connector, or find another way…
Copilot is only as useful as the content it can reach. Out of the box, it reaches your Microsoft 365 — SharePoint, mail, Teams. But most organisations’ knowledge does not all live in Microsoft 365. It is in ServiceNow, in Salesforce, in a Confluence wiki, on a file share, in some homegrown app the finance…
You run a report to answer a simple question: who can access this site? It comes back reassuring — a handful of members, the owners you expected, nothing alarming. So you sign off on the Copilot rollout. And the report was lying to you. Not because it got the answer wrong, but because it was…
Before you switch on Copilot, there is one question worth losing sleep over: what in here is overshared? Not in theory — in fact. Which sites are open to the whole company. Which files a long-gone contractor can still reach. Which “anyone with the link” shares are still live from a project that ended two…
SharePoint Advanced Management has a long feature list. Open the Advanced management page and you will count more than twenty capabilities, which is its own kind of problem: a list that long tells you nothing about where to start. Most of them you will open once, nod at, and never touch again. A handful you…
