- It does not affect other files.
demerit

- If you want to hide them in other files as well, you'll need to perform the operation in every Excel file.
2. Show Copilot features only when there are suggestions.
Change Copilot's functionality to "only for highly relevant suggestions."
Click on the File tab
Click options
Uncheck "Enable Copilot"
Check "Show Copilot icon only for relevant suggestions" within Copilot and click the "OK" button.
Now, if there are no specific suggestions, the "Copilot" mark will no longer be displayed.
Always show Copilot features
Click options
Check "Enable Copilot"
Uncheck "Show Copilot icon only for relevant suggestions" within Copilot and click the "OK" button.
This has now returned to the state where the "Copilot" mark is always displayed.

Advantages
- You can usually choose not to display the "Copilot" mark.
- You can have it automatically displayed when there is a proposal.
demerit

3. Stop Copilot features
Disable Copilot

Click options
Uncheck "Enable Copilot"
Uncheck "Enable Copilot" within Copilot and click the "OK" button.
Now I have successfully stopped the obstructive "Copilot" feature.
Enable Copilot
Click options
Check "Enable Copilot"
Check the box next to "Enable Copilot" within Copilot and click the "OK" button.
