That prompt worked.
Don’t keep it to yourself.

Someone on your team just figured out a better way to use Copilot. That shouldn’t stay in one person’s chat history.

Share prompts for Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, Teams, Copilot Cowork—or an agent you’ve built. Tell us what worked. And what didn’t.

Useful beats impressive.

The first pick could be yours.

We’re collecting the first submissions. Our weekly pick will highlight a useful idea, with the context and limitations that make it worth trying.

The shared collection

No community prompts published yet. Every submission gets an editorial review before it appears here. The collection will be free to browse and copy.

Start with an email

Show us your useful thing.

No account. No upload maze. Paste your prompt into an email and tell us enough for someone else to try it.

Email your submission ↗

The button opens your email app with a template. Prefer Gmail in your browser? Copy the template and paste it into a new email.

Sharing an agent?

Send a description, the shareable instructions and the setup it needs. Explain any licenses, connectors or permissions you know about. Don’t send access tokens, private files or an agent link that grants access to your organization.

Keep the private stuff private.

Replace real names, figures and documents with placeholders. No employer secrets, customer data, passwords or confidential attachments. Only share material you’re allowed to share.

What happens next?

01

We read it.

A person reviews the submission for usefulness, clarity and anything that shouldn’t be public. We may email you a question.

02

We keep the context.

Selected entries include the app, requirements, date tried and limitations. Reported results and Newsdesk testing are labeled separately.

03

People build on it.

Approved ideas join the free collection. A weekly pick highlights a practical, well-explained contribution—not a paid placement.

You keep ownership of your work. Include permission for Copilot Newsdesk to edit and publish it. Choose a public display name or stay anonymous; your email address is never published. Submission does not guarantee publication. No prize or giveaway is running.
