| More Information |
|---|
We shared in https://aka.ms/sharepoint/Copilotagents last month that SharePoint would have a new capability for creating and using Copilot agents. Users with M365 Copilot licenses will see a new Copilot action in the Suite Navigation bar where they will see the built-in Copilot scoped to the site they are on. They will also see entry points from the New menu on home and in their document libraries to create Copilot agents. These capabilities are available only if they already have create and edit permissions on the site or document library. They can also share a link to the Copilot agent with other users, and those users (with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license) will be able to chat with it in SharePoint, a Teams group chat or meeting chat. This release does not include the extension to Copilot Studio for advanced customizations or the Site owner abilities to approve agents and set a default agent for a specific site. These capabilities will be available later this year. When this will happen:Targeted release: We will begin rolling out late-October 2024 and expect to complete by early November 2024. General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late-November 2024 and expect to complete by early January 2025 (previously late-December). How this will affect your organization:Users will be able to create and use Copilot agents in SharePoint. What you need to do to prepare:Here is the documentation to learn more about the capabilities.
