OneDrive: Convert Copilot response into a Word file

🚨 The Signal: Copilot responses in OneDrive can now be converted to Word documents with one click. This streamlines content creation but increases the potential for sensitive information to be rapidly generated and stored, requiring careful data governance.

The Impact

Users with Copilot licenses are affected, increasing the risk of unclassified or sensitive AI-generated content being stored in OneDrive.

• End-users: May inadvertently create and store sensitive AI-generated content without proper classification.
• Security Teams: Increased volume of AI-generated data requires enhanced monitoring for data loss prevention (DLP).
• Compliance Teams: New content creation method complicates data retention and discovery processes.
• Administrators: Need to ensure existing data governance policies extend to AI-generated content.

The Action

1. Review and update existing Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies to include AI-generated content types and locations.
2. Communicate best practices to Copilot users regarding the handling and classification of AI-generated information, especially when converting to Word.
3. Verify Microsoft Purview Information Protection (MIP) sensitivity labels are correctly applied to OneDrive content, including newly created Word documents.
4. Assess current data retention policies in Microsoft Purview to ensure they adequately cover AI-generated documents.
5. Monitor Copilot usage and content creation patterns via Microsoft 365 audit logs to identify potential data governance gaps.
