Rule summary
No subreddit-specific rules were displayed on the public rules page when Rankhog verified it on 2026-10-12.
Works well
- A step by step walkthrough of how you use Copilot in one specific app, like getting a first draft of a document in Word or cleaning up a spreadsheet in Excel.
- A plain answer to someone's question about a Copilot feature, written to help them even if they never hear of your product.
- A short post sharing one prompt that worked well for you in Outlook or Teams, with the before and after so people can judge the result.
- A question post asking how other teams here rolled out Copilot or trained people to use it, which starts a discussion instead of a pitch.
- An honest comparison of what Copilot does well and where it still falls short in your daily work, because balanced takes build trust in a user community.
Avoid
- Posting something that has nothing to do with Microsoft 365 Copilot, because the moderator guidance says to keep posts relevant to the topic.
- Dropping a link with no context and no effort to help anyone, since with no published rules the moderators judge posts by eye and low effort promotion is the easiest thing to remove.
- Treating the empty rules page as permission to spam, because an unmoderated-feeling space usually means removal happens on feel rather than on a written rule.
- Being rude or dismissive to people asking basic questions, since the guidance asks you to be helpful and respectful.
- Writing a post that reads like an ad for your own tool instead of a genuine answer to a Copilot problem someone is having.
- Assuming your post survived just because nothing removed it right away, then building a whole campaign on that guess.
What r/microsoft_365_copilot Is For
This community is for Microsoft 365 Copilot, the AI assistant built into the Microsoft 365 apps you already use at work. The description names Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams, and says everything got boosted with the GPT-4 AI model. So the people here are using or curious about AI inside those everyday work tools. Think someone asking how to get Copilot to draft an email in Outlook, or how to make it summarize a long document in Word, or whether it is worth the license for their team. It is a user community, not a developer forum and not a general AI chat. If your post is about Copilot in the Microsoft 365 apps, it belongs. If it is about AI in general, or about some other product, it probably does not.
What To Post
With no published rules, the best post is one that is so clearly on topic nobody could question it. Answer a real question about using Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, or Teams. Share a specific workflow you actually use, like how you prompt Copilot in Excel to clean up data, written out step by step. If you are a founder, the respectful move is to lead with help. Write the post you would write if you had nothing to sell. If your product naturally comes up in an answer to someone's question, mention it briefly and honestly, and make the answer useful even to people who never click. Ask genuine questions too, like how other teams handle Copilot rollout, because that invites the kind of discussion this community exists for.
What To Avoid
Here is the honest part. This community displayed no rules on its public rules page, so I cannot point to a rule that gets you banned, because there is none written down. That does not mean anything goes. The moderator one-liner in our brief says to keep posts relevant to Microsoft 365 Copilot, and to be helpful and respectful to other members. That is the whole contract. With no published rules, removal comes down to moderator judgment, and the safest bet is that off-topic posts and obvious self-promotion are the things that get pulled. Do not treat the empty rules page as an invitation to spam. A community with no written rules usually has unwritten patience, and it runs out.

Common questions about r/microsoft_365_copilot
Can I mention my own product here?
The evidence does not say, so the safe move is to make your product mention a small part of a genuinely useful answer about Copilot rather than the point of the post.
Are links allowed?
The evidence does not say, so treat links as something to use sparingly and only when they truly answer the question.
Can I ask a question about how Copilot works in Excel?
Yes, the whole community is about Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams, so a specific question about using it in one of those apps fits perfectly.
Can I share a blog post I wrote about Copilot?
The evidence does not say, so a good default is to share what you learned in plain text and only link out if someone asks.
