Getting Things Done with Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork

About This Course
Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork lets you describe an outcome in plain language and have Copilot carry out the work across Microsoft 365 - drafting documents, sending emails, scheduling meetings, researching, and more. In this short course you learn when and how to delegate work to Cowork, how approvals keep you in control, how to use the side panel to follow along and grab outputs, and how to turn recurring tasks into automations. You finish with a guided hands-on lab where you use Cowork on realistic business files - a budget spreadsheet, a draft memo, meeting notes, a research PDF, and a half-finished slide deck - pre-loaded onto your lab desktop.
