Copilot Basics
Five lessons · mental model to daily use
Most Copilot training starts with the tool. This path starts with you, one lesson at a time, close to the work you already do.
Lessons
- 01 What Copilot Actually Is (and Isn't)
The mental model that prevents frustration, first-draft machine, not search or magic.
- 02 The Art of the Prompt
GCSE framework, Goal, Context, Source, Expectations, and iteration as conversation.
- 03 Copilot in Your Daily Apps
Word, Outlook, Teams, Excel, and PowerPoint, what each app is best for and prompts worth keeping.
- 04 Judgment, Verification, and Trust
Hallucination, three trust zones, how to verify, and MillerKnoll data privacy.
- 05 Building Your Copilot Practice
One friction point for two weeks, a 30-day starter plan, and a personal prompt library.
Each lesson reads in approximately 20–30 minutes. Practice tasks take longer and are the point. Finish each lesson before the next; prompting skills do not stick without the mental model in Lesson 1, and the app walkthroughs in Lesson 3 go deeper after you have practiced prompts.
Begin Lesson 1Every lesson includes orientation, core concepts, prompts to try in your real work, and a closing question to sit with before you move on.
This is a fundamentals course, not Copilot agents, Copilot Studio, or license administration. You need a MillerKnoll Microsoft 365 account with Copilot enabled.
