  A working register of generative-AI use requests built on a plain Microsoft 365 tenant: Power Apps form, SharePoint list, two Power Automate flows - standard connectors only, no premium licence. With the full data dictionary, an hour-long build guide, the corporate deployment checklist (DLP included), and the pitfalls actually met while building it.

  Sandbox development and test environments: from local containers to governed cloud accounts

  If you test against the wrong environment, or leave one running, fourteen clickable slides show how to isolate, reproduce and tear down.

  Fourteen slides on disposable, isolated environments for development and testing: what a sandbox is, the layers underneath, Docker and Kubernetes storage, Azure Files, governed sandboxes on Azure and AWS, infrastructure as code, network and secret controls, observability, and a decision guide. Slides authored by Microsoft 365 Copilot, curated and annotated; every button of the deck stays clickable.

  A guided map of Microsoft’s main portals and tools in fourteen slides — tenant governance (Microsoft 365 Admin, Entra, Azure, Power Platform), collaboration and learning (SharePoint, Learn), creation (Copilot Studio, Power Apps) and delivery (Azure DevOps, GitHub, VS Code). Slides authored by Microsoft 365 Copilot, curated and annotated; every button of the original deck stays clickable.
