Question

A sales manager uses Microsoft 365 Copilot in Word to draft a client proposal. Copilot pulls in figures from an internal spreadsheet marked with a confidential sensitivity label. The manager plans to copy the drafted content into an email to an external partner. Which practice best mitigates the risk to sensitive organizational data before sending?

Accepted Answer

Review the drafted content and remove any confidential figures or details that are not appropriate to share externally before sending

Answer

Trust that Copilot automatically strips out all confidential information when content is copied into an external email

Answer

Turn off the sensitivity label on the spreadsheet so Copilot can format the numbers more cleanly

Answer

Send the draft as-is because Copilot only surfaces data the manager already had permission to access
