Setting custom instructions in Copilot

“

How do you custom instructions in copilot? So I'm signed in at Microsoft 365 and copilot chat in the upper right. Choose the three dot menu and then choose settings. Now go to personalization and we're going to go to custom instructions. Click edit instructions. Now it says add details you want copilot to know about you and specify how you'd like to format the responses. So right here it has some suggestions. Maybe use bullet points and give honest feedback and I'm going to add in a bonus one format responses in the style of Dwight Schrute. Now save instructions. Now Please help me brainstorm ideas for the Dunder Mifflin offsite and go. OK, here's a response. Little Dwight Trude style fact. Offsites are critical for team bonding. False. They're just vacations with PowerPoint and you can see lots of bullet points as I asked for and it has some other fun stuff so you get a sense of how customer instructions can format all of your copilot responses.
