You have a draft checked against a source document. Which request gives you the answer that is easiest to verify?
- “Is everything correct?”
- A table with statement, location in the source and finding (supported, different, not in the source)
- “Improve the text.”
Answer
The correct answer is: A table with statement, location in the source and finding (supported, different, not in the source)
With the location and a fixed finding for each statement, you see line by line what is supported, what differs and what is missing from the source. If you ask “Is everything correct?”, you usually just get a yes.

The answer marks a statement from your draft as “supported”. What does that mean for you?
- It is definitely correct.
- It is a hint. You look up two of the hits in the source yourself.
- You do not need to check anything else.
Answer
The correct answer is: It is a hint. You look up two of the hits in the source yourself.
A “supported” is a hint, not a certainty. If you look up two hits yourself, you quickly see how far you can trust the check.

Are web search queries from Microsoft Copilot Chat covered by the same data protection commitment as your prompts and responses?
- Yes, everything is protected the same way.
- No, they run separately through Bing with their own data rules.
- Copilot Chat has no web search.
Answer
The correct answer is: No, they run separately through Bing with their own data rules.
According to Microsoft, Enterprise Data Protection applies to prompts and responses. Web search queries go to the Bing service, run under their own data rules and, according to Learn, are not covered by the Data Protection Addendum. That is why customer names and internal figures do not belong in a research question.

You have research done on the web. Which request lets you verify what is true?

- After every sentence the link it comes from, plus a separate list “Not supported”.
- “Use only reputable sources.”
