Microsoft 365 Government—GCC, GCC High, DoD, Office 365 air-gapped cloud environments, and Microsoft 365 operated by 21Vianet don't currently support Copilot in SharePoint. Copilot in SharePoint helps you do more with your content. Ask questions, run workflows, and create SharePoint sites, pages, lists, libraries, interactive reports, and Office files by using natural language. Starting in mid-June 2026, these capabilities roll out as an opt-out preview and become available automatically to all users with a Microsoft Copilot license. Copilot in SharePoint is changing from an opt-in preview to an opt-out preview. No administrator action is required to receive it. If you previously opted out your tenant or specific sites, those settings are honored. To use Copilot in SharePoint during the preview: Microsoft Copilot license: Users must have an active Microsoft Copilot license. Copilot in SharePoint is included with this license during preview and at General Availability, at no extra cost. Microsoft Copilot license: Users must have an active Microsoft Copilot license.

You can opt out tenant-wide or for specific sites. Use the existing KnowledgeAgent parameters in Set-SPOTenant to manage availability across all sites, selectively include sites, or selectively exclude sites. For multigeo tenants, run the PowerShell script in each geo. The underlying PowerShell parameter names, such as KnowledgeAgentScope , retain the preview naming for compatibility. Although the feature is now described as Copilot in SharePoint, the parameter names remain unchanged during preview. The enablement process changes for general availability. Use the SharePoint Online Management Shell version 16.0.26615.12013 or later to manage access to Copilot in SharePoint for users with Copilot licenses.

Make Copilot in SharePoint available on all sites Make Copilot in SharePoint available on specified sites only Opt out specific sites (available on all sites except those listed) Turn off Copilot in SharePoint for the tenant Site AI settings The Site AI settings panel lets site owners manage how users interact with AI on their site, including Copilot in SharePoint. Owners can choose which agent opens from the Agent icon, either Copilot in SharePoint or a custom agent. They can also hide the Copilot button on site pages for site visitors only. Restricted Content Discovery Restricted Content Discovery is an existing setting that is respected. If it's enabled on a site, Copilot in SharePoint and AI actions don't appear on that site. This rule applies regardless of your Copilot in SharePoint availability settings. Language support Copilot in SharePoint supports only the languages that appear in both the SharePoint Online supported language list and the Microsoft Copilot supported language list. Languages supported by SharePoint Languages supported by Microsoft Copilot For best results, use a supported language for your prompts. Copilot in SharePoint isn't tested or validated for languages outside the supported list, and results might vary. During preview, Copilot in SharePoint applies daily and weekly usage limits per user to help ensure fair access for all users. Limits are individual and not shared across your organization. When a user reaches a limit, Copilot features are temporarily unavailable until the limit resets automatically. The user is notified in SharePoint. Microsoft might adjust usage limits as it monitors usage patterns during preview. Microsoft is also working on options for users who need additional capacity. Copilot in SharePoint currently runs on a Microsoft-managed reasoning model from OpenAI. Microsoft selects and manages the model, and the specific model might change over time as the service adopts newer models. You don't need to configure a model to use Copilot in SharePoint.
