Microsoft OneDrive and SharePoint: Generate smart tables of contents for PDFs on the web with Copilot

🚨 The Signal: Copilot can generate smart tables of contents for PDFs in OneDrive/SharePoint web. This enhances document navigation but introduces AI-generated content into previously static files, requiring data governance review.

The Impact

Users with Copilot licenses are affected, with a low security risk related to the introduction of AI-generated content.

• Copilot users: AI-generated content in PDFs may alter document integrity perceptions.
• Security teams: Need to understand how AI-generated content interacts with existing data governance policies.
• Compliance officers: Review if AI-generated TOCs meet regulatory requirements for document authenticity.

The Action

1. Review existing data governance policies for handling AI-generated content within documents.
2. Communicate to users that Smart TOCs are AI-generated and do not alter original PDF content.
3. Monitor Copilot usage for PDF interactions to understand adoption and potential data handling implications.
