M365 Ecosystem Primer

Router for Microsoft 365 work in this library: Word documents, Excel workbooks, PowerPoint decks, Outlook email/calendar, Teams collaboration, and OneDrive organization. Use when the user mentions Microsoft 365, Office, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, or Copilot in Office apps. Scope boundary: Google Workspace → not covered; general academic writing craft → `academic-writing`; slide narrative without Office still uses `powerpoint-decks` for structure; coding assignments → `coding-ecosystem-primer`.
