In this lesson

Prepare for the AB-730 exam (Microsoft Certified: AI Business Professional). In this lesson: the four elements of a prompt (context, goal, source, expectations), referencing files, meetings, and people, the Auto, Quick response, and Think deeper modes, refining with follow-ups and citations, and Copilot Memory and custom instructions. Includes three original practice questions.

Preview the topics
  • A manager wants the action items from the recurring Weekly Ops Sync meeting, without describing the meeting in words. With a Copilot license, what should they type?
  • An analyst asks Copilot Chat to compare three strategy options across several reports, and to reason about the trade-offs. The default answer feels shallow. Which choice fits best?
  • A user asked Copilot to remember that they want every answer in French. Later, they deleted that chat, but Copilot still answers in French. Why?
