[What and Why:]
We’re improving the Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Chat usage reporting experience to provide more timely usage data, better report organization, and expanded access to usage metrics through Microsoft Graph APIs. These changes help organizations monitor Copilot adoption more effectively, align reporting experiences across Microsoft analytics tools, and support custom dashboards and reporting solutions through programmatic access to usage data.
[Rollout Schedule:]

[Compliance considerations:]
| Compliance Consideration |
Explanation |
| Does the change alter how admins can monitor, report on, or demonstrate compliance activities? |
The update enhances Microsoft 365 Copilot reporting through faster data refresh, expanded reporting metrics, a dedicated Microsoft 365 Copilot Agents usage report, and additional Microsoft Graph API reporting capabilities. Organizations may need to update dashboards, reporting processes, and governance documentation that rely on existing report structures or metrics. |
| Does the change include an admin control and can it be controlled through Entra ID group membership? |
Access to the updated reports and reporting data continues to be governed by existing Microsoft 365 admin roles and reporting permissions. No new administrative controls are introduced, and existing permission models remain in effect. |
