SharePoint is often full of valuable content that nobody can find any more. With Microsoft 365 Copilot, you turn your intranet and document libraries back into a place where colleagues quickly find the right answer. In this course you learn how to use Copilot purposefully for searching, summarising, creating content and refreshing neglected site collections.
Description
Copilot changes the way you work with SharePoint. Instead of clicking through folders, you ask a question in natural language and get a summary with source references. Instead of filling a blank page, you let Copilot write a first version based on existing documents or a short briefing.
The morning session focuses on searching and finding. You search company content with questions in natural language, have documents summarised from a library and search across sites for relevant files. You practise with Copilot suggestions for metadata and filtering, so that your content becomes easier to find.
In the afternoon you focus on content creation and site management. You design a site and page structure, write pages, news posts, FAQ sections and knowledge base articles with the help of Copilot, and interpret visitor statistics via Copilot Q&A. You also look at how Copilot handles permissions and sensitivity labels.
You bring along a neglected site collection of your own as a case study. Together with the trainer you build a concrete clean-up plan around it, so you can apply what you have learned as soon as you are back in the office.

The course is intended for:

Teaching method
During this course you alternate between short explanations and hands-on exercises in SharePoint with Copilot. You use a Learnit test environment or, if you prefer, your own Microsoft 365 environment with a Copilot licence.
The morning focuses on searching and finding: you learn to search company content using natural language, generate document summaries and retrieve information across sites. In the afternoon you get to work on content creation and site management: you design a site structure, write pages, news posts and knowledge base articles with the help of Copilot, and look at how permissions and sensitivity labels take effect.
You bring along a neglected site collection of your own as a case study. Together with the trainer you use it to draw up a concrete refresh plan, so you can apply what you have learned directly to your own work. The group has a maximum of 8 participants, which leaves plenty of room for personal questions and feedback.
You receive a workbook with 30 prompts for content management, a site architecture template and a measurement dashboard for SharePoint usage.
Prior knowledge
You have a basic knowledge of SharePoint: you know how sites, libraries, lists, pages and permissions work. Have you taken our SharePoint Basics course or gained comparable experience in practice? Then you will fit in well. You also work with a Microsoft 365 environment with a Copilot licence, or you use our Learnit test environment during the course.
Comments
If possible, bring along your own site collection or intranet page that is due for a refresh. That way you work directly on your own practical case during the lesson.

In-company
Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.
Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding. Fortunately, Learnit has extensive experience in this field (more than 25 years) and we are happy to help you through this process.

What does the SharePoint with Copilot course cost?
You can find the current price at the top right of this course page, along with the schedule, location and delivery format. For in-company or bespoke courses we are happy to provide a quotation on request.
What prior knowledge do you need for the SharePoint with Copilot course?
You need basic knowledge of SharePoint. You know how sites, libraries, lists, pages and permissions work and you have already managed content or created a page. Have you attended our SharePoint Basics course or do you have comparable practical experience? Then you will fit in well. Knowledge of Copilot itself is not required, as that is where the course starts.
Who is the SharePoint with Copilot course for?
The course is for anyone who maintains a SharePoint environment and wants to make it smarter with AI. Think of SharePoint administrators, site owners, content owners, knowledge managers, intranet administrators, communications staff and IT managers who want to explore the possibilities of Microsoft 365 Copilot and apply them to their own intranet.
What exactly do you learn in the SharePoint with Copilot course?
You learn to search company content using natural language, summarise documents and search across sites. You also design a site and page structure, write pages, news items and knowledge base articles with Copilot, and interpret visitor statistics via Copilot Q&A. You also gain insight into how Copilot handles permissions and sensitivity labels.
Can you also follow the SharePoint with Copilot course online or in-company?
Yes. You can take the course in a classroom at one of our locations, online via virtual classroom or in-company at your office. For in-company courses we tailor the content to your own SharePoint environment and Copilot licences. Feel free to request a proposal if you would like to take part with a team.
Do you receive a certificate after completing the SharePoint with Copilot course?
Yes, afterwards you receive a Learnit certificate of participation. It confirms that you took an active part in the course and practised the topics covered. You can add this certificate to your LinkedIn profile or personal development plan.
What does a course day look like and what materials do you take away?
You alternate between short explanations and hands-on exercises in SharePoint with Copilot. You use our Learnit test environment or your own Microsoft 365 environment with a Copilot licence. You receive a workbook with prompts for content management, a template for site architecture and an approach for refreshing a neglected site collection.
Why take this course rather than learning on your own with online tutorials?
Online tutorials show you individual functions, but in the classroom you work on your own site collection with an experienced trainer beside you. You get immediate feedback on your prompts, you learn which approaches do and do not work in practice, and you leave with a concrete refresher plan. That shorter learning path is rarely achieved through self-study.
Can you apply what you have learned directly to your own intranet?
Yes, that is exactly the idea. You bring your own site collection or intranet page as a case. During the lesson you work on it directly, from better metadata and filters to rewritten pages and an adjusted structure. You go home with a concrete refresh plan that you can put into practice at the office straight away.
What is the difference with the SharePoint Basics or SharePoint Advanced course?
In SharePoint Basics and Advanced you learn to set up and manage sites, libraries and permissions yourself. This Copilot course builds on that and shows you how to use Microsoft 365 Copilot to make that environment smarter and easier to search. Do you not yet have the basics at your fingertips? Then take one of those courses first.
Is the course suitable if you mainly work in communications or knowledge management and have no IT background?
Certainly. Communications staff, editors and knowledge managers get a lot out of this course, because a large part of the day is about writing, structuring and improving the findability of content. The technical parts around permissions and sensitivity labels stay at a functional level, so you understand how Copilot handles access without having to be an administrator yourself.
How does Copilot handle confidential content and sensitivity labels in SharePoint?
Copilot respects the existing permissions in SharePoint and Microsoft 365. Whatever a user is not allowed to see, Copilot will not use in answers or summaries either. Sensitivity labels are retained on derived content. In class you look at how this works out in practice and which agreements you can make within your organisation to prevent leaks through Copilot searches.
