Updated September 16, 2024: The updates to Microsoft Copilot as outlined in MC862983 will start rolling out today with an expected completion date of September 30, 2024.

As Microsoft Copilot updates, users will begin to see the new simplified user experience designed for work and education. During the rollout, the updates may not happen to all users—or on all Copilot surfaces—at the same time. As noted above, all updates are expected to be completed by September 30, 2024.

These user interface updates include:

  • A shield outline at the top of the user interface to indicate enterprise data protection (this was previously green with commercial data protection)
  • The ‘New chat’ button moving to the top of the user interface next to the shield outline
  • New prompt cards in the center of the user interface to help users get started
  • A new ‘Chats’ pane on the right side of the user interface for users to refer back to previous chats

Additionally, the Microsoft Copilot documentation has been updated to reflect the updates rolling out: https://aka.ms/Copilot/Docs 

We recommend that you read the documentation to further understand the updates and to prepare your organization.
