Use Copilot responsibly

Copilot drafts and summarizes. You decide what gets sent, published, or treated as fact.

• Do not paste passwords, payment card numbers, or government ID numbers into a prompt.
• Treat legal, medical, and financial answers as a starting point and verify them with a qualified person.
• Check quotes, citations, and calculations. If Copilot did not show a source, look one up.
• Follow your work or school policy for customer data and confidential files.

Microsoft employees will not ask you to install remote-access software to “fix Copilot.” See how to recognize a support scam.
