Module 00: Course Orientation and Setup
Lesson 00.6: Your First Copilot Safety Checklist
Lesson Promise
Create a safety checklist you will reuse throughout the course.
Real-World Scenario
A learner is ready to paste a real customer email into Copilot but pauses to check whether that is appropriate.
Core Concept
Safety is not fear. It is knowing what data you are using, what tool context you are in, what output will be used for, and who must review it.
The same checklist works across chat, apps, files, agents, and automation.
Step-By-Step Workflow
- Classify the data as public, internal, sensitive, restricted, or human-only.
- Confirm the account and tool are approved for that data.
- Remove unnecessary private details.
- Ask for assumptions, sources, and limitations.
- Review facts, tone, recipients, and risk before use.
- Escalate legal, HR, finance, medical, security, or compliance decisions.
Prompt Lab
Bad Prompt
Can I paste this?
Better Prompt
Help me decide whether this information is safe to use in Copilot and what I should remove first.
Expert Prompt
Create a Copilot safety checklist for this task. Include data classification, approved account/tool, unnecessary sensitive details to remove, source boundaries, output use, review owner, human-only decisions, and escalation path.
Hands-On Exercise
Classify five sample tasks and decide safe, revise, or do not use.
Deliverable

Course Setup Checklist
Common Mistakes
- Starting with private work data before learning the safety routine.
- Assuming every learner sees the same Copilot buttons, agents, or app features.
- Treating missing features as user error instead of checking account, license, tenant, and rollout.
- Skipping source and human review because the first answer sounds confident.
- Trying every module at once instead of building a steady weekly learning path.
Quiz / Checkpoint
What should happen before using sensitive data?
