7. Compressed Files: .zip, .rar, .7z, .tar, .gz Try clearing your browser cache and cookies.If only jpg/png work, there might be a file type filter enabled. Convert your PDF or DOC to an allowed format temporarily. Use online conversion tools if needed. Check the file size limits (typically 25MB or less). Update Copilot to the latest version. Disable browser extn. and use a different browser.

Answer 2

Hello,

According to this link Frequently asked questions about Copilot | Microsoft Learn

"Microsoft Copilot has many of the same features as before plus a few new ones. Some previous features are not immediately available, and a few are no longer available."

And based on the discussion here: To attach document the file button 'paperclip' disappeared from - Microsoft Community. It seems this feature has been removed from the new version of Copilot. It now only accepts images.
