External Release Notes: MS Office Co-editing (June 2, 2026)
New Features and Enhancements
Access and Use Copilot while Co-editing Microsoft Files
Egnyte now offers its users the ability to access and use Microsoft Copilot while co-editing Microsoft Office files stored in Egnyte. The feature enables users to utilize Microsoft Copilot for tasks such as summarizing content, asking questions about the information in the file, and generating or refining content while co-editing Microsoft Office files stored in Egnyte. This helps users review, understand, and collaborate on files more efficiently during co-editing sessions.
Admins must establish a connection between the Microsoft tenant and the Egnyte storage provider tenant to make this functionality available to users.
Copilot only has context for the file currently open for co-editing and the SharePoint files. It cannot access or search other files stored in Egnyte unless those files are actively open for co-editing.
