Refer to Copilot Citations to ground Copilot’s responses in trusted information and verify where details came from.
A source is the information Copilot uses to create its response. Depending on your access and Microsoft 365 license, this may include documents, emails, Teams conversations, meetings, SharePoint content, or public web pages.
A citation connects part of Copilot’s response to the source it used. Select a citation to open the referenced content and review the original context.
