Stephanie Donahue
Avanade, Technical Community Lead
With the introduction of Microsoft 365 Copilot, it's tempting to think that information architecture is no longer relevant. After all, Copilot promises to find all your information effortlessly, acting as your personal assistant.
However, we need to consider potential challenges. What if Copilot leads users to sensitive content accidentally? Have we adequately secured our environment in our rush to enable remote work? Additionally, how valuable is the content returned in search queries? Is it time to revisit site lifecycle management and retention to optimize Copilot's performance?
