How to Dynamically Scope Copilot Agent Knowledge to a Specific SharePoint Folder

Hi everyone,

I’ve implemented an SPFx web part that captures the clicked element (folder name) on a SharePoint page and passes it to a Copilot agent via query string. The Copilot agent reads this value and stores it as a global variable.

The agent uses a SharePoint document library as its knowledge source, which contains multiple folders and subfolders. My requirement is:

When the SPFx web part sends a folder name, I want the Copilot agent to restrict its knowledge scope to only that folder—so all responses should be based solely on documents within that folder.

I’m looking for a way to implement this with minimal customization. Ideally, I’d like to avoid re-indexing the entire library or creating separate agents per folder.

Has anyone tackled a similar scenario? What’s the best way to dynamically filter the knowledge base in Copilot based on a folder name passed from SPFx?

Thanks in advance!

How to Dynamically Scope Copilot Agent Knowledge to a Specific SharePoint Folder

hello

at my knowledge, using instruction to tell "use only this folder" as never worked.

what i do "not dynamically" is that you can have a data source per folder in copilot studio : you can add a sharepoint libary with the folder in the url and it will target the url of the library, instead of full library, use this often to have good agent : not target full lib but use few topics to target folder.

Doing this dynamically i m not sure it's possible :)

hope this help
