so… Microsoft Ignite kicked off at 3:30am this morning and what a ride – 34minutes in and there was already a announcements left and right, and as imagined co-pilot was very much front and centre around everything, but some really cool things to.
SharePoint Premium

SharePoint Premium was one of the big announcements for me – This is a HUGE announcement, Think SharePoint, but very much, next level content and collaboration, combined with AI and some other jazzy things which will make productivity gains everywhere.
SharePoint Premium will bring:
- AI document processing (classification and extraction of data)
- Auto-translate to different languages
- Auto tagging content all within SharePoint
- Microsoft 365 Archive
- Microsoft 365 Backup
- Content assembly
- Contracts management, including AI clause analysis (e.g. high risk contracts)
- Business Documents app in Teams
- Branded Document Portal for simpler sharing with external parties
- Optical Character Recognition
- PII detection
- AI Image tagging
- Taxonomy tagging
- Data Access Governance (oversharing)
- Advanced security policies
- eSignatures (Microsoft native, DocuSign or Adobe Sign)
- Plus more!
