Copilot Lab is now called the Copilot Prompt Gallery, and Microsoft 365 Chat is now Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat. The exact location of the button may differ per app.
What is the Prompt Gallery?
The Prompt Gallery is a collection of sample prompts from Microsoft, by app and by task. You can save prompts to reuse later, and in some organizations also share them with your team.
