Copilot in SharePoint helps you do more with your content — ask questions, run workflows, and create sites, pages, interactive reports, and Office files using natural language. Here's everything that's new in the last month:
Create live SharePoint dashboards
Copilot can now generate a SharePoint dashboard directly from a list as an interactive HTML report that stays connected to the underlying list. Instead of exporting data and rebuilding a report every time something changes, your SharePoint dashboard refreshes from the list whenever it's opened. Dashboards can also be created from Excel and CSV files.Why it matters: Most AI-generated dashboards go stale the moment they're created. You export data, generate a report, update the list, then rebuild the whole thing. No more. Now SharePoint can generate HTML dashboards and apps that stay connected to the underlying list data -- unlocking all types of new List-driven experiences!
Sample use cases:
- Project status dashboard — turn a list of projects into a live executive view showing what's on track, at risk, or blocked, with filters for owner, priority, due date, or status.
- Inventory tracker — turn a product inventory Excel into a visual app showing stock by item, location, size, or category, so store managers can instantly spot what's low or overstocked.
- Request or application pipeline — turn a list of requests, grants, or approvals into a live pipeline showing totals, high-priority items, pending approvals, and bottlenecks in one interactive report.
- Recruiting dashboard — turn a list of open requisitions into a live hiring view showing candidate pipeline health, interview progress, and time-to-fill metrics, with filters for department, role, hiring manager, or stage.
- Customer escalation dashboard — turn a list of support escalations into an executive view showing active cases by severity, aging tickets, and resolution trends, so leaders can spot what's stuck before it becomes a fire drill.

Launch Copilot prompts from a page button
You can now launch a custom Copilot prompt straight from a page button web part. Drop a button onto a SharePoint page, wire it to a prompt, and anyone visiting the page can run it in a single click.Why it matters: Page buttons put the right prompt in front of people exactly where they're already working, helping everyone discover relevant, contextual prompts in Copilot in SharePoint — with no need to remember what to type.
Sample use cases:
- On a team's project hub, add a “Draft status update” button that launches a prompt summarizing this week's changes, so any member can generate a consistent update in one click.
- Build a weekly report with “Generate executive report”, include files assigned to me, new sales leads in a pipeline list, and leverage custom skills to tailor your report
- Add multiple buttons to help narrow in on content across your site, “Find operations manuals” or “Find manufacturing manuals”

The new built-in search makes it easier to ground your prompt with the exact content you need.
