Basic Prompts for Microsoft Copilot

Put Copilot to work with Basic Prompt Engineering for Microsoft Copilot, a training built for financial services professionals who want better results from the Microsoft tools they already use.

You’ll learn how to write prompts that get results inside Copilot:

• How to structure clear prompts using goal, context, source, and format
• How slash commands in Work mode let you point Copilot at specific files, people, and meetings
• How to compare documents side by side, such as two client proposals
• How iteration builds value, from an initial article outline to a pressure-tested thesis

The module shows how a few small changes to the way you ask can turn Copilot from a general assistant into a tool that produces stronger, client-ready work.
