Attach file button (paperclip) disappeared from Copilot web

Anonymous

Hi,

Any idea why the attach file button has suddenly vanished from Copilot, Copilot (microsoft.com)? It was available yesterday. I used it to quickly summarize PDF and Word documents.

Regards,

Alex

I am having the same issue. What is the point in paying if I am unable to utilize the feature.

I've just resolved this by clearing my browser cache.

It twigged when I was using InPrivate browsing and the paperclip appeared again.

The response from Microsoft(as expected):

TLDR: Wait until it is released and announced publically.

I had the button this morning at 1 a.m. When I tried to upload another file later, around 6 p.m., I noticed it was missing. Now Copilot says that it does not have the ability to read files, so I am assuming they got rid of that feature.

so I am assuming they got rid of that feature.

As told many times previously in the thread, this feature is not publically announced. For unannounced features, they can disappear for a while. Definitely they haven't gotten rid of it surely.
