The checks to run before you hit send

You check the recipient, the date and any commitments before every send, and you catch the most expensive mistake.

The steps

The exact sequence, in order.

01
Before sending, read the “To” line and the full recipient name.
02
Check the date and time: a draft typed yesterday still says yesterday.
03
Re-read the commitments: a promise drafted by Copilot becomes yours.
04
If the recipient is ambiguous, replace the draft with a message written by hand.

The prompt to copy

Word for word, exactly as shown in the video.

Check this draft before sending: recipient, date, and any commitment that isn’t in the original message.

The habit to keep

You read the name in the “To” line out loud.

Worth knowing

What the video does not hide from you.

In this capsule, Copilot picks the wrong recipient: Sophie, who forwarded the message, instead of the partner who wrote it. The draft is fine, the send is not. Read the “To” line again just before you hit send.
