hey Matthew, i try to solve this problem:

follow this guide and you should be successful

1. Ensure Eligibility and Licensing:
   • First, ensure that your organization has the appropriate Microsoft 365 licenses. "Thinking Deeper" is likely a premium feature available through certain Microsoft 365 subscriptions (like Enterprise or specific Copilot licenses).
   • Ensure all users in your tenant are assigned licenses that include Microsoft Copilot.
   Check Admin Settings:
   • Admin Center: To enable the feature for all users, you may need to adjust settings in the Microsoft 365 admin center. Go to the admin center (admin.microsoft.com) and navigate to Settings > Org Settings.
   • Look for any settings related to Copilot or the "Thinking Deeper" feature. If the feature is available for your tenant, you might find an option here to enable it for all users.
   Enable Copilot for Users:
   • If your organization has Copilot enabled but not all users have access to "Thinking Deeper," you may need to enable it specifically. This might be done via Microsoft Endpoint Manager or through Azure AD (Active Directory) settings.
   • Go to Microsoft 365 admin center > Users and ensure that all necessary users are properly licensed and assigned to the appropriate group that has access to Copilot features.
   Group Policy or Feature Flags:
   • In some cases, Microsoft uses feature flags or group policies to control access to new features like "Thinking Deeper." If this is the case, you will need to:
   • Go to Microsoft 365 admin center > Settings > Org Settings > Services and check if there is a toggle to enable Copilot or the specific feature for your organization.
   • If you're using Microsoft Endpoint Manager, navigate to the settings there and check for any policy or configuration profile that may allow enabling or disabling Copilot features.
   Communicate with Users:
   • Once the feature is enabled for your tenant, make sure to communicate with all users regarding the new "Thinking Deeper" functionality, so they know to look for the button in the apps where it will appear (like Word, Excel, etc.).

Test the Feature:

• After enabling the feature, ensure that at least one user is able to see and use the "Thinking Deeper" button in the apps. You can test this yourself or select a few users to check.

If It's Not Available Yet:

If you do not see the option for "Thinking Deeper," it could still be in rollout phase, or it might require additional configuration by Microsoft. Contact Microsoft support or check the Microsoft 365 admin center for any updates or announcements.

I hope you have been helpful.
