Copilot Pages (labels move; look for a page or canvas created from Chat) hold the work in a document-like surface you can return to and often share. Use a Page when the artifact is the point: a brief, a running note, a one-pager that will get another pass.
Keep it. Share it. Do not pretend it is a notebook.
A Page is not a Notebook. It does not automatically limit Copilot to a closed set of references. If you need that fence, wait for Lesson 3.
Core principles
- Page: the artifact you will edit again.
- Chat: the sitting that produced a first pass.
- Share a Page when a colleague needs the same canvas, not your whole thread.
- If Pages are missing, a Word file in OneDrive is a valid stand-in for this lesson.

What is a Copilot Page for?
Pages keep the artifact. Notebooks fence the sources. Different jobs.
Do this in Copilot
Move yesterday’s keepers onto a Page, or into a named Word file if Pages are missing. Title it with the five-word project name.
If you can open Pages, start there. If not, open Word and say so in the prompt.
Turn keepers into a Page (or a Word stand-in)
Turn these keepers into a one-page working brief I can reopen. Project: [FIVE WORDS]. Audience: [ME / A COLLEAGUE]. Keep: [PASTE]. Structure: purpose, open questions, next action, sources I must not lose. Flag anything that looks like a claim without a source. Do not invent a project wiki.
