Three quick tips, stuck on for good. Each one takes about ten seconds to learn and saves you an afternoon.

  1. The Four-Part Prompt

    Goal, context, source, expectations — stick all four on and the first answer is usually the keeper.

  2. Reference a file with /

    Type / and pick the document so Copilot reads the real file instead of guessing.

  3. Ask for a table

    End with “as a table with columns for…” and the scribbles line up in tidy rows.
