Feature Request: Chat Folders to Organize Copilot Conversations

I use Microsoft Copilot extensively for long‑term, project‑based work such as strategy development, research briefs, RFPs, and cross‑functional planning. As the number of chats grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain continuity, reuse prior work, and efficiently manage ongoing initiatives.

A significant productivity improvement would be the ability to organize Copilot chats into folders, for example by project, topic, or workstream. Specifically, it would be very valuable to:

  • Create folders to group related chats
  • Move existing chats between folders
  • Keep historical context for long‑running projects without starting from scratch

Today, the lack of organizational structure leads to duplicated prompts, loss of context, and friction for advanced and enterprise users who rely on Copilot as a continuous work tool rather than for isolated, one‑off queries.

Introducing chat folders (potentially combined with chat renaming and basic organization controls) would greatly enhance scalability, usability, and knowledge continuity for people using Copilot heavily in real business workflows.

Thank you for considering this request.

    Hello Joel Eduardo Martinez Camacho, 

    Thank you for sharing this detailed feedback about organizing Microsoft Copilot conversations into folders. 

    I understand that you use Copilot for long-term, project-based work such as strategy development, research briefs, RFPs, and cross-functional planning. In that type of workflow, being able to group related conversations, move existing chats into folders, and maintain continuity across ongoing projects would help reduce duplicated prompts and make previous work easier to reuse. 

    Please note that this is a user-to-user support forum. Moderators and contributors, including external Microsoft employees, cannot directly change Microsoft product features or access back-end systems. I can only provide technical guidance on reported issues, requests, or ideas. 

    I recommend submitting this request through the feedback option available in Copilot by click on 3 dots symbol in the upper right corner in the screen or you can submit the same suggestion through the Feedback Hub app in Windows by selecting Start, typing Feedback Hub, and opening the app. You can then choose Suggest a feature, search to see whether similar feedback already exists, upvote it if available, or submit new feedback with your own details. When submitting the feedback, it would be helpful to include the examples you shared, such as project-based work, research briefs, and cross-functional planning. 

    As a temporary approach, you may consider using a consistent naming convention for chats, if chat renaming is available in your Copilot experience. For example: [Project name] - [Workstream] - [Date or phase] 

    I hope this helps clarify how to submit this feature request through the available feedback channels. Wishing you a smooth experience using Copilot for your project-based work and ongoing workflows. Thank you so much for your understanding.

    Chat folders for organizing Copilot conversations are not described in the provided information.

    The closest available organizational features in the context are:

    1. Copilot Pages in Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat
      • Copilot Pages act as an interactive canvas where responses can be turned into editable, shareable pages.
      • Multipage functionality allows opening existing pages beside the current Copilot chat and creating multiple new pages from a single chat session.
      • Pages can be browsed and managed through the Copilot Pages navigation pane and shared with others, helping maintain continuity and reuse content across projects.
      • Copilot Pages are available to:
        • Work or school (Entra ID) accounts with SharePoint or OneDrive storage (even without a Microsoft 365 Copilot license).
        • Personal Microsoft accounts with Microsoft 365 Personal, Family, or Premium subscriptions.
    2. Context IQ (CIQ) for grounding and reuse
      • CIQ suggests relevant files, emails, conversations, and other Microsoft 365 content and lets users insert multiple items (files, images, people, meetings, emails) into Copilot prompts.
      • This helps maintain continuity across work by reusing existing organizational content in new chats.
    3. Copilot Chat vs. Microsoft 365 Copilot
      • Copilot Chat (web‑grounded) and Microsoft 365 Copilot (work‑grounded) differ in how they use organizational content, but the context does not mention folder‑based chat organization for either.

    Within the provided material, there is no mention of a folder feature for chats or a way to group chats by project or topic beyond using Copilot Pages and CIQ to manage and reuse content.
