Microsoft Extends DLP Policy for Copilot to Office Apps

First introduced in March 2025 to block access to sensitive documents by BizChat, Microsoft has extended the DLP policy for Copilot to cover the web and desktop versions of the Office apps (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint). The implementation works but could confuse users. It might be better if Microsoft simply removes all trace of Copilot when working with files subject to the DLP policy.
