A consultant configures Copilot for Sales for a team that stores technical spec sheets and pricing documents in SharePoint rather than as Dynamics 365 attachments. During testing, a seller finds that the Copilot chat panel answers questions about opportunity and account records correctly, but replies that it has no information when asked to summarize pricing terms in a document attached to a recent customer email thread. What should the consultant check first?

Short Explanation
Think of the assistant as only being able to see what it is plugged into. Out of the box it is wired straight into the CRM records, so it can tell a seller everything about an opportunity or an account without any extra setup. A document sitting in someone's inbox is a different data source entirely, and unless the assistant has also been connected to mailbox and file content, that inbox might as well not exist to it. The seller in this scenario proves the CRM wiring is fine, since account and opportunity questions get answered correctly, so the fix is not a license, a security role, or a file format problem. It is about extending the assistant's reach into email and attachments, not fixing something that is already working.
Full Explanation
The correct answer is B. Copilot for Sales grounds its answers in the data sources it has been connected to, and Dataverse records such as opportunities and accounts are available by default. Email and file content, including attachments circulating in a seller's mailbox, are only visible to Copilot when the email and calendar integration to the mailbox is enabled and the relevant content access is connected; without that connection, Copilot has no way to see the document even though it exists. Since the seller already gets correct answers about CRM records, the consultant should check the mailbox content connection rather than assume a broader outage. Option A is incorrect because AI Builder model credit quotas govern custom prediction models, not Copilot's ability to locate a document. Option C is incorrect because the seller already receives accurate account and opportunity answers, which shows account-entity read access is already working. Option D is incorrect because Copilot can parse common office and PDF formats without conversion, and a format mismatch would not produce a blanket no-information response when other CRM answers succeed.
