Agent setup with approved sources from your organization 4.58 / 5 [Directory score](https://instain.ru/en/ai/microsoft-copilot-studio/#editorial-rating) [Official website ](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/copilot/products/copilot-studio) Copilot Studio allows you to assemble an agent, configure his area of knowledge and check the answers in the Power Platform environment. ![Microsoft Learn documentation on connecting knowledge in Copilot Studio](https://instain.ru/assets/images/microsoft-copilot-studio-screen-6696d14b93a0-1200.webp) Microsoft help to add knowledge sources in the Copilot Studio agent. [Open the source ](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-studio/knowledge-add-existing-copilot#use-knowledge-source-suggestions) ## First, select the knowledge boundary. Prepare a small set of current documents for an assistant handling internal requests. Copilot Studio can connect knowledge sources such as an approved SharePoint section or website. Which sources are available depends on the selected mode and administrator settings. State what each source is for. For two sections with similar titles but different rules, use descriptions that say who each document applies to and when. ## Educational verification of documents and rights Use a fictional employee handbook and a separate draft for administrators. Ask about a procedure that changed and check the date of the cited source. Then open the agent with ordinary user permissions. If that user should not see the draft, make sure the response does not reveal its contents. Testing from the owner's account does not show what an employee with fewer permissions can see. ## Before publishing Distribute questions that can be answered on the help, and requests that require action in the connected system. Use a separate test record to act and check what permissions are needed. Ask a question that is not answered in the sources. The result should show the boundary of knowledge and the next available step. After updating the documents, repeat a few initial questions to make sure the agent is accessing the correct version. For acceptance, save the dates and names of the sources used. ## Suitable tasks - Gather an agent on internal instructions. - Check the source of the answer and access to it from different roles. Features ## Strengths - Connects different corporate sources of knowledge. - Administrators can limit the types of sources. Things to consider ## Limitations - A compatible environment and policy setting are needed. - Licensing and availability depend on the organization. ## Selection and conditions Free access Not confirmed Trial period Not confirmed No sign-up required Not confirmed Russian interface Not confirmed Local installation Not confirmed API Not confirmed “Not confirmed” means there is not enough information.

From task to first result ## Practical example Task Gather an agent on internal instructions. What to prepare Allowed set of documents or saved working context with notes about the project. ### Task brief or prompt Find out what decisions on the project are confirmed by available sources. Specify the source of each decision, its date, if known, and unresolved issues. Separate the baseline information from the assumptions. ### Expected result Summary of confirmed decisions with verifiable references or indications to sources. ### How to check the result - Open these documents or context records. - Make sure that the outdated discussion is not presented as a decision. An editorial teaching example of a task brief, not the result of hands-on testing of the service. Check that the required mode is available, that you have rights to the source material and that the intended use of the result is permitted.
