The steps
The exact sequence, in order.
- 01
Open the Copilot pane from the ribbon icon.
- 02
Ask your question in plain language, no search keywords needed.
- 03
Read the answer, then click the cited source to open the original email.
- 04
On anything sensitive, cross-check with Outlook’s regular search.
The prompt to copy
Word for word, exactly as shown in the video.
What’s the printer’s quote, and how long is it valid?
The habit to keep
You ask in plain language, then open the cited source before you act on the answer.
Worth knowing
What the video does not hide from you.
Copilot searches, it does not guarantee completeness: it only sees mail you already have access to, and a message in a shared or protected folder may be missed.
