Word Powerpoint
Nayra Wellinghoff
My company has recently purchased some Copilot for Microsoft 365 licenses, one of which was applied to my account on Monday. If I use Teams desktop app and the new Outlook desktop app Copilot is there and works fine. I can also use Copilot in the online versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
However, Copilot still isn't showing up in my desktop apps for Word, Excel and PowerPoint. I've checked and we're currently on the Monthly Enterprise Channel and the version of M365 Apps for Enterprise on my machine is Version 2311 Build 16.0.17029.20140, which seems to be the latest version. This is the same for all our users that have Copilot licenses and they are all experiencing the same issue.
I've signed out and back into the Office apps and also checked for any Office or Windows updates but there's nothing that seems to get Copilot to appear in these apps. The one weird thing I've noticed is that in lots of guides one solution is to go to File > Account in Word/Excel etc and click an Update License button. However, if I do this I don't see this button:
@gjayne84 I have an identical problem. Enabled yesterday, works in teams and outlook, works in excel/ppt/word online, but not in the desktop apps. Also, update license button missing. I assume we have the same issue.
All of a sudden, I can't seem to upload any Word or Power Point documents onto Dropbox. It has just stopped working. Excel files seem to be ok and I can create folders, I just can't seem to upload anything into them.

Thanks for your reply! It is uploading documents to a Dropbox Folder on my own Computer. I thought it may be the space issue, but I can upload excel documents. It just seems to be word and power point that I can't upload.
If you can't upload photos and videos to Dropbox, check how much of your space you're using. Maybe the files you're trying to upload put your account over quota. Then ensure your connection is stable and temporarily disable other cloud apps, as well as your security tools.

Improved experience in changing the source of a linked chart:In a situation where a presentation contains a linked chart, which is not only stored at a SharePoint location, but also synced to a local folder, when the user tries to change the chart source via "File -> Info -> Edit Links to File -> Change Source...", the initial location in the Change Source dialog now shows the current location of the linked chart, instead of the last used location. PowerPoint can now convert the local sync folder location to its corresponding SharePoint URL and preserve it in the file if the user chooses a chart in a local sync folder as the new chart source.
Resolved an issue where attempting to reference a file using Draft with Copilot would give the error "Copilot wasn't able to apply the right sensitivity label to this file because it couldn't work with the content you referenced."
