Pitfalls to watch at work
Copilot in Word
- Compare two versions of a contract with Word's built-in Compare and ask Copilot to explain the changes found: on its own it misses some edits
- Rewriting in a different tone also changes the content: after Rewrite, check amounts, dates and party names against the original
- In the business version Copilot may pull a passage from someone else's document you have access to: check the sources in the answer
Reflect

- It is a tool for one person, with limited team collaboration
- Keep daily notes with colleagues' names and ratings outside the service if the company might take an interest in them
