A SharePoint cleanup only sticks if settings enforce it after the project ends. Before you close it out, turn the decisions into defaults: a library default label, a retention policy, and site sharing limits in the SharePoint admin center.

A default sensitivity label on a SharePoint library only labels new files. Everything already in the library stays unlabeled, and that is where Copilot finds what you didn't mean to share. Pair the library default with a Purview auto-labeling policy for existing content.

I need to kick the tires on this...

Got another email from X pushing the new pricing. The claim about my current Premium+ plan: "$10 a month less than you pay today and includes everything you have now, plus more products and more usage." What's the latest consensus on whether it actually includes more usage?

Pilots generate excitement. Rhythm generates adoption.

The old model of thought leadership rewarded attention. The emerging one may reward influence without ever showing you where it happened. Someone asks an assistant a question six months from now, and part of the answer traces back to something you wrote today. You'll never see the page view.

What's the best thing a Copilot champion in your org has done? I'm collecting real examples.

Copilot rollouts succeed or stall based on a handful of roles. An executive sponsor who provides visible support. A success owner who runs the ongoing health reviews. A technical team handling licensing and security. And most important, champions: early adopters trained deeply enough to coach the people around them. If you only fund one of those this quarter, fund the champions. IT can turn Copilot on. Champions are the ones who show their colleagues why it matters on a Tuesday afternoon.

If you've been waiting for a reason to fund your sensitivity label project, Copilot is it. Labels are the rules the AI actually reads.

Microsoft Purview DLP can now scan what people type into Copilot, not just the files Copilot reads. If a prompt contains a sensitive information type, built-in or custom, it can be blocked before it's processed. That's a meaningful shift. For years, data loss prevention watched documents and email. Now it watches the conversation. But like everything else in Purview, it only enforces what you've defined. If you've never reviewed which sensitive information types your organization actually uses, start there.

Vote early (vote often?)

Cost and speed at scale are real decisions. They're just IT and finance decisions, not something every employee should weigh before asking for a meeting recap.
