We’re introducing AI-powered enhancements to the SharePoint FAQ web part to help content owners keep FAQs accurate and fresh with less effort. These updates are based on customer feedback and aim to improve content reliability and reduce manual upkeep. Key improvements include AI-suggested updates, seamless import of existing FAQs, and the ability to ground answers in SharePoint Pages.

This message is associated with Roadmap ID 482198.

When this will happen:

• Targeted Release: Rollout begins in late November 2025 and completes by early December 2025.
• General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): Rollout begins in late December 2025 and completes by early January 2026.

Who is affected: Content authors using the SharePoint FAQ web part with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.

What will happen:

The following enhancements will be available to improve FAQ management and content accuracy:

• On-demand AI-suggested FAQ updates: Authors can manually trigger a freshness check. AI will analyze grounding files and viewer-submitted questions to identify outdated or inaccurate FAQ entries and suggest revisions.
