Behaviour
Approvals
Apply safe edits
Ask first
Apply everything, scripts too
Safe means empty cells, new sheets or slides, and the assistant's own work; anything that overwrites yours asks. "Apply everything" never asks unless you say "show me first" or the reviewer flags a risk. Changes stay undoable (Undo at the top right, or ask the assistant to undo), except scripts in Word and PowerPoint; in Excel a script's undo doesn't reverse settings such as protection, print setup or comments, and very large workbooks can't be undone after a script. Keep version history (SharePoint, OneDrive) or a copy.
Advanced changes (scripts)
Run reads, and writes to the assistant's own slides or sheets, without asking
Run read-only scripts without asking
Ask before every script
Off
For work the standard changes don't cover. Scripts are shown in full and checked afterwards; in Word and PowerPoint they can't be undone. "Own" means a slide or sheet the assistant added in this chat; the assistant checks the rest of the file didn't change. Anything else that changes the file always asks.
Thinking time
Model default
Low
Medium
High
How long the assistant thinks before acting: longer is more thorough on hard requests, slower on simple ones.
Standing instructions
Applies to every request in every chat, in every app. The assistant can propose additions when you say "from now on…".
Plan bigger requests before starting
Keep a work log sheet ("F&P Assistant Log") in this workbook Off by default because it changes the workbook. Enable it only when this workbook should retain an assistant audit trail.
