Microsoft Copilot is a powerful tool, but it struggles to differentiate between recent work and older content. It can be like asking a friend for today’s homework notes and getting a folder from middle school. Copilot can surface outdated files as if they’re current, which often leads to frustration when irrelevant or obsolete content appears in the results.

Archiving isn’t something to be left until a later date. By planning for it early in the migration process, you ensure that your SharePoint Online environment is efficient, compliant, and easy to manage.
