This capability builds on existing Copilot agent controls and respects current tenant compliance   and governance settings, while helping users save time and stay focused.<\/p>\n<p><b>[When this will happen]<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Rolling out to Frontier: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rollout start:<b>&nbsp;Late April 2026<\/b><\/li>\n<li>Rollout end: <b>Early&nbsp;May 2026<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>[How this affects your organization]<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>Who is affected<\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Users with a<b> Microsoft 365 Copilot license<\/b> using:\n<ul>\n<li>Outlook (classic and new)<\/li>\n<li>Outlook on the web<\/li>\n<li>Microsoft Teams<\/li>\n<li>Outlook mobile (iOS and Android)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>IT admins who manage<b> Copilot agent access and policies<\/b> in <i>Microsoft 365<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i>What will happen<\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Calendar Agentic capabilities will appear in <i>Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat <\/i>  from calendar-related surfaces.<\/li>\n<li>Users can enable agentic actions by selecting <b><i>Allow Actions (Frontier)<\/i><\/b> in  <i>Copilot Chat<\/i>.<\/li>\n<li>Users can <b>create ongoing, natural-language calendar instructions<\/b> (for example, \u201c<i>Always accept meetings from my manager if my calendar is free<\/i>\u201d).<\/li>\n<li>Calendar Agentic experiences respect each user\u2019s<b> Outlook working hours <\/b>  settings.<\/li>\n<li>A new <b>activity history view<\/b> will show actions taken by Copilot, grouped by Accepted, Followed, Declined, and Deleted, with an explanation for each action.<\/li>\n<li>The feature is<b> enabled by default<\/b> for users who have Copilot and are allowed to use agents.<\/li>\n<li><b>No new admin controls <\/b>are introduced; existing <b>Copilot agent policies apply<\/b>.<\/li>\n<li>Calendar Agentic experiences act only on the signed-in user\u2019s calendar and does not operate across mailboxes or tenants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What is not changing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Existing admin policies, permissions, retention, and compliance boundaries remain unchanged.<\/li>\n<li>No changes are made to data residency, audit logging, or Purview enforcement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>[What you can do to prepare]<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No action is required if your organization already allows Copilot agents.<\/li>\n<li>Review your existing <b>Copilot agent policies<\/b> to confirm which users are permitted to enable agentic actions.<\/li>\n<li>Consider notifying helpdesk or end users that Copilot may take automated calendar actions once users enable the feature.<\/li>\n<li>Update internal guidance if you document Copilot or Outlook calendar behavior.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Learn more:&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/techcommunity.microsoft.com\/blog\/outlook\/copilot-in-outlook-new-agentic-experiences-for-email-and-calendar\/4514601\" target=\"_blank\">Copilot in Outlook: New agentic experiences for email and calendar | Outlook Blog<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/microsoft-365-copilot\/frontier-program\" target=\"_blank\">Frontier program &#8211; Microsoft Adoption<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>[Compliance considerations]<\/b><\/p>\n<table class=\"table table-bordered\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Question<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Answer<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Does this change alter how existing customer data is processed, stored, or accessed?<\/td>\n<td>Yes.
