Action Workflows
# Copilot Cowork — Action-Taking Workflows
> These prompts do things Chat cannot. Chat drafts — Cowork executes. Every prompt here ends with Cowork taking an action (sending, scheduling, posting, creating) after showing you a full preview for approval.

## Why This Is Different
Both Copilot Chat and Cowork can search your emails, Teams messages, and SharePoint. That is not the difference.
The difference is what happens after the research. Chat produces a draft and stops. You have to copy it, open Outlook, paste it, check recipients, and send it yourself. Cowork can send the email, schedule the meeting, post to Teams, create the calendar block — with your explicit approval before each action.
Every prompt in this file completes an action. None of them stops at the draft.
