Copilot in Microsoft SharePoint's Rich Text Editor makes it easy to author content in SharePoint pages and posts. Copilot in SharePoint's Rich Text editor is available as part of the Text webpart for any user with a Copilot Microsoft 365 license. When this will happen:Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out late July 2024 (previously early July) and expect to complete by late August 2024 (previously late July). General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling late August 2024 (previously late July) and expect to complete by late September 2024 (previously early September). How this will affect your organization:Before the rollout: The Copilot button did not appear in the SharePoint's Rich Text editor. After the rollout: Users who have been assigned a Microsoft 365 Copilot license will find a Copilot option in SharePoint's Rich Text Editor when editing page content. Copilot in SharePoint combines the power of Large Language Models (LLMs), the user's data in the Microsoft Graph, and best practices to create engaging web content. Copilot in SharePoint can help users draft content when creating new pages, adjust the tone, condense content, and expand meeting bullets into structured text all within Microsoft's existing commitments to data security and privacy in the enterprise. The Copilot menu option in the Rich Text Editor for the Text webpart: Copilot after rewriting the contents of a SharePoint Text webpart: This feature is bundled as part of Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 and always on for licensed users. It can be disabled if the customer deselects the Microsoft M365 Copilot for SharePoint service plan from the Microsoft 365 admin center. What you need to do to prepare:This rollout will happen automatically by the specified dates with no admin action required before the rollout. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate. We will update this post with new Support articles before rollout begins. |
