When you submit a question, is there a way to get the AI answer without that question posting to the Community? Sometimes I just want to see the AI answer first before posting that question to the Community. FYI.
Recommendations for improving the Microsoft Q&A website
If the AI answer satisfies the question, then there is no need to post the question to the Community.
Sometimes I feel bad for not replying to Community members who are kind enough to provide answers when those follow-up answers are not actually necessary. FYI.
AI answer
No. Q&A First Answer is generated only after a question is posted on Microsoft Q&A, and it appears automatically as the first response. There isn’t a mode to preview the AI answer privately before posting to the community.
Relevant limitations also indicate that the feature is tied to the posted question flow and supports only a one-time regeneration after the AI response appears.
