When you submit a question, is there a way to get the AI answer without that question posting to the Community? Sometimes I just want to see the AI answer first before posting that question to the Community. FYI.

    No. Q&A First Answer is generated only after a question is posted on Microsoft Q&A, and it appears automatically as the first response. There isn’t a mode to preview the AI answer privately before posting to the community.

    Relevant limitations also indicate that the feature is tied to the posted question flow and supports only a one-time regeneration after the AI response appears.

    AI-generated content may be incorrect. Read our transparency notes for more information.

    If the AI answer satisfies the question, then there is no need to post the question to the Community.

    Sometimes I feel bad for not replying to Community members who are kind enough to provide answers when those follow-up answers are not actually necessary. FYI.
