Copilot for Microsoft 365 cannot yet utilize the info in custom SPO lists. Some organizations have massive processes built using the list functionality. Thanks to Sulava masterminds like Mikko Koskinen and Vesa Nopanen [MVP], these use cases can currently be solved using Copilot Studio. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/d7ZJ4VqN

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this about #MSFT's Copilot AI to the Technical Writer and Former Technical Writer Who Now does SharePoint and PowerPlatform Everything on M365 community, but if you know how to extract requirements from business users, and you know how to translate that into the kind of terms that developers need to be able to produce the code... You can turn your skill into creating prompts, instead. You feed copilot the description of the requirement, the data source, the specific fields, and you tell it what you want it to do with the data when the users do whatever their business process is, and you tell it what language you want the script in, and BAM, you're the coder. Copy, paste, test, troubleshoot with copilot by pasting back what it spits out if it doesn't work with the mysterious secret phrase "that didn't work, do you know why?" and it will help you figure it out yourself. #Microsoft trained copilot on Github. Think about that for a sec… Copilot has a ChatGPT overlay that lets you describe what you need in normal human, and it translates that into devspeak, and gets what you need from all the coders' knowledge ever posted on Git. The dev community’s intrinsic need to show how smart they are to anyone who wandered by gave us a treasure trove! Technical Writers know business users, we know how coders need to hear what the business wants, how to put it in language you can use to develop actual code using logic, and process, and predecessors, and rational next steps and best practices. We know all the things, and we can type prompts that are well written, and that ChatGPT's interface can use well to generate the best scripts. I propose that we become the new best-paid resource in the field, the AI-Integrated Technical Solutions Specialist. We have the patience to figure out how programs work, and we can learn, if we don’t know, how to paste the code in the right steps in the right places in visual studio, same as anyone else. We don't have to know how to write the code specifically, we just have to know what the code is supposed to do. And the AI can do the documentation, we just have to fix it when it's done. It's like having our own BA and Dev, and probably a Project Manager too. So, update your resumes, tech writers, and former tech writers. This is our time. Three people at $150k a year was $225 an hour, and we'll be producing at least that much. Know your value, don't sell out for less than what they're going to be making off your time. Set the bar high, you're worth triple what you were, and the only way you'll get it is if we insist, collectively. Everyone doesn't need a union, if we have a little self-respect and faith in the value of what we bring to the table. And you, Job Providers, pay attention. You want AI-Integrated Technical Solutions Specialists, we offer the whole package, all in one. #techwriting #ai #newworldorder #devops #copilot

I follow Reza Dorrani and he always delivers value and thoughtful ways to resolve challenging use cases in Power Apps and Power Automate. Approvals has tremendous potential to streamline the way we do approvals in any organization. As is, Approvals serves its purpose, however having a sequential/more complex use case has proven to be not as straight forward. Having the sequential approval type as part of the out-of-box functionality in Power Automate is a game changer!

Use new shaped-cropping with your SharePoint images to make eye-catching pages. Copilot improves the amount of time it can go back for time-based prompts. Lastly, the 365 Message Center Show #365MCS#365MCS tests publishing each message as it's own short video. Or watch this full video.

Especially for those who love to play with new tools, this one is pretty entertaining. I'm not the biggest fan of the RPA Design Studio (a bit old-fashioned for my personal taste), but it contains a nice little example of a connection between some old on-premise Windows application and ServiceNow. The possibilities are endless. Until a while ago, I thought this feature would be just a rarely applicable workaround for some edge cases, but then I learned that there are indeed lots of scenarios around. For example, many websites don't offer open APIs to customers. Unless they have active measurements against robotic automation in place, RPA may be a good solution until there is a more modern interface available. For those who also want to learn it: https://lnkd.in/eX6_m4iJ
