What it does

The prompt gallery is a library of ready-made prompts you can run and adapt across the Copilot apps. It's paired with the wider best-practice guidance on writing prompts that get useful results.

Key facts

• The gallery offers curated prompts by task and app, as starting points rather than fixed commands.
• Organisations can publish their own prompts to the gallery for their users.
• Good prompts tend to name the goal, the source content, the audience and the desired format.
• It's part of the standard Copilot experience — no extra licence to browse it.

When to use / skip

Use the gallery and custom prompts as the backbone of adoption — most people don't know what to ask. Skip treating any single prompt as gospel; the point is to adapt them to the real task.

Configuration decisions

• Whether you curate and publish organisation-specific prompts, and who owns that library.
• How prompt guidance is woven into your training and champions programme.

Gotchas

• A stale or generic gallery gets ignored. Curated, role-specific prompts are what people actually use.
• Users copy a prompt verbatim and wonder why it's off — they've not adapted the context to their own work.
• Prompt quality, not model power, is the biggest lever on output for most users, and it's the least taught.

Consultant notes

• Building a curated, role-based prompt library is one of the highest-return adoption activities. Make it a deliverable, not an afterthought.
• Prompt skill is a training gap, not a tooling gap. The tenants that invest here see the value; those that don't blame the product.
• Keep the library alive — assign an owner, or it rots within a quarter.
