Microsoft Copilot in Edge: New contextual features like page summary on Microsoft 365 Copilot Business Chat “Work” tab
Starting mid-January 2025, Microsoft Copilot in Edge will add page summarization and contextual queries to the Work tab in Microsoft 365 Copilot Business Chat. Users will need a Copilot license to access these features, which can be managed by admins using the EdgeEntraCopilotPageContext policy. Rollout completion is expected by late January 2025.
Starting in mid-January 2025, Microsoft Copilot in Edge will introduce support for page summarization and contextual queries to the Work tab for Microsoft 365 Copilot Business Chat. With this feature, users can ask Copilot contextual queries such as “summarize this page.” This feature will also include contextual prompt suggestions to help users ask relevant questions about open pages in Edge. Page summarization and contextual prompt suggestions will be accessible for users when using Copilot through the Edge side pane.
A Microsoft 365 Copilot license is required to use this feature.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 468884.
When this will happen:
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-January 2025 and expect to complete by late January 2025.
How this will affect your organization:
After this rollout, Copilot may have access to a user’s page context when a user sends contextual prompts to Copilot in Edge in the side pane when a webpage or PDF is open.
The page summarization feature will be available by default when it rolls out in late-January. It can also be configured by admins.
What you need to do to prepare:
The existing EdgeEntraCopilotPageContext policy is available now for you to manage whether your users have access to page context while using Copilot in Edge across Copilot Business Chat and Microsoft Copilot with enterprise data protection. Before this rollout, the policy only applied to the Web tab of Business Chat and to Copilot with enterprise data protection. After this rollout, the EdgeEntraCopilotPageContext policy will include the Work tab of Business Chat. If the policy is not configured, users can enable or disable Copilot’s access to page context in their Copilot settings.
