Session Abstract

Microsoft Copilot is changing how we work, but can it also help manage and govern a SharePoint environment? In this demo-rich session, Microsoft MVP Marijn Somers explores how Copilot, Agents, and custom skills can assist site owners, administrators, and governance teams with real-world SharePoint management tasks. We'll put Copilot to work analyzing permissions, identifying governance risks, generating site documentation, supporting content owners, and answering questions that traditionally require SharePoint expertise. Through live demonstrations, you'll discover where Copilot delivers genuine value, where human expertise remains essential, and how organizations can use AI today to reduce administrative effort without compromising governance. Join this session to separate AI hype from practical reality and see whether Copilot is ready for a promotion to SharePoint Administrator!
