• Tailor arnold to your business processes
• Replace standard behavior with custom logic

🚀 arnold™ 0.7.3​

enosix arnold™ Plugin for Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork​

What it is​

The enosix arnold™ plugin is now available for Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork, enabling users to securely access live SAP ERP data and execute SAP business workflows directly from the Microsoft 365 Copilot experience. Users can install the plugin from Microsoft AppSource, authenticate with their arnold environment, and interact with SAP using natural language—all without leaving Microsoft 365.

What you can do​

Using the enosix arnold plugin together with Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork, users can:

• Retrieve real-time SAP business data using natural language
• Search sales orders, deliveries, invoices, quotes, customers, inventory, and other SAP business objects

• Prepare PowerPoint presentations using the latest SAP business data
• Share updates directly in Microsoft Teams without manually copying information between systems

Why it matters​

Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork works across Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint, OneDrive, Calendar, and other Microsoft 365 services, allowing users to combine enterprise SAP data from arnold with the Microsoft applications they use every day. Instead of switching between SAP and Microsoft 365, users can complete end-to-end business tasks from a single AI-powered workspace—for example, retrieving a sales order from SAP, creating an Excel report, drafting a customer email with the latest order status, and sharing updates with the sales team in Teams. All actions remain governed by Microsoft 365 approval, security, and compliance controls.

🔐 Security Improvements​

This release includes critical security enhancements to protect your data and integrations.

Why it matters

• Your integrations are better protected against unauthorized access

📄 Document Download Reliability​

PDF document downloads have been refactored to behave consistently and provide clear feedback when a document is unavailable.

Why it matters

• PDFs are now always fetched before determining how to deliver them (inline or via URL), ensuring consistent behavior regardless of the configured download mode
• A clear error is returned when a document cannot be found, eliminating silent failures that could mask configuration issues
• Improves troubleshooting and reduces support burden

🛠️ Admin & Integration Enhancements​

The portal includes several improvements for administrators and integrators.

Why it matters

• An OAuth authorization server metadata link now appears next to Client Credentials, giving administrators quick access to endpoint details needed for manual client registration and configuration
• All MCP tools are now explicitly marked as read-only or write operations, helping AI agents and integration clients distinguish safe queries from operations that modify data
• System information can now be retrieved using user-level credentials alongside tenant credentials, improving flexibility in mixed-credential environments
• The Test Connection button is now only enabled when the appropriate credentials are configured, reducing confusion during setup
• Inactive clients are no longer shown on the Dashboard, keeping the admin view accurate and uncluttered
• Client creation validation now correctly checks the user's original input before trimming, ensuring names are validated as entered
