Updated March 27, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. <\/p>\n

[Introduction]<\/b><\/p>\n

We are updating the entry points for Copilot in Word<\/i> to provide a clearer, more consistent, and more intuitive experience. These changes unify how users access Copilot and introduce Word Agent in the chat pane <\/i>as the primary Copilot interface<\/b>. This update improves discoverability, simplifies the user workflow, and creates consistency with other Microsoft 365 apps.<\/p>\n

[When this will happen]<\/b><\/p>\n

General Availability (Worldwide)<\/b>: We will begin rolling out in early April 2026<\/b> (previously late March) and expect to complete by June 2026<\/b> (previously late April).<\/p>\n

General Availability (GCC, GCCH and DoD):<\/b> We will begin rolling out in October 2026<\/b> (previously late March) and expect to complete by late October 2026 <\/b>(previously late April).<\/p>\n

[How this affects your organization]<\/b><\/p>\n

Who is affected<\/i><\/p>\n

All users of Microsoft 365 apps for Word on Windows, macOS, and Web.<\/p>\n

What will happen<\/i><\/p>\n

    \n
  • The existing Copilot entry point in the left margin will be replaced by a consolidated entry point positioned in a consistent corner location.<\/li>\n
  • Users will see contextual Copilot entry points when selecting content:\n
      \n
    • Windows and Web<\/b>: inside the selection floatie<\/li>\n
    • Mac<\/b>: in the right\u2011click context menu<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Word Agent in the right-side chat pane <\/i>becomes the primary Copilot experience for prompts and responses.<\/li>\n
    • All Copilot entry points\u2014consolidated and contextual\u2014will connect to Word Agent to ensure a unified experience.<\/li>\n
    • There is no change to admin configuration, policy behavior, or Copilot availability settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      [What you can do to prepare]<\/b><\/p>\n

      No action is required.<\/p>\n

      You may optionally:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Inform your users about the new Copilot access points and updated experience in Word.<\/li>\n
      • Update internal help content or training materials if you document Copilot entry points.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        [Compliance considerations]<\/b><\/p>\n

        No compliance considerations identified. Review as appropriate for your organization.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
