We are announcing the Agent Builder in Copilot Chat feature for Copilot Studio. This feature enables pay-as-you-go agents for the existing free chat experience for Microsoft 365 commercial users. This feature will reach general availability on February 18, 2025.
We’ve released updates to the following update channels for Microsoft 365 Apps:
We are announcing the SharePoint as a knowledge source for generative answers feature. When a user asks a question and the agent doesn’t have a topic to use for an answer, this feature allows the agent to search the SharePoint URL and all subpaths, and generative answers will summarize this content into a targeted response. This feature will reach general availability on February 28, 2025.
Coming soon to new Microsoft Outlook for Windows desktop and Microsoft Outlook for the web: A None color category that users can apply to Mail and Calendar items. This update provides parity with classic Outlook and more flexibility and customization for users to categorize their emails and calendar events. By selecting the None option, users can choose to have items without a designated color, allowing for cleaner organization and more control over which items stand out visually.

Users will be able to summarize files with Summarize for me using Microsoft Copilot within one-on-one or group Microsoft Teams chats. This feature will work on common file types like Word and PDF initially, and other file formats will be added over time. This summarization respects the file’s security policies, ensuring that only users with access to the file receive a summary, which will carry the same sensitivity label as the original file. A Microsoft 365 Copilot license is required to use this feature.

Before this rollout, users can apply a sensitivity label to a non-Office file or a PDF file in Microsoft Windows to apply protection that encapsulates the file into a .pfile file type that can verify user authorization and rights on the file. A user who needs to modify and collaborate with others on a .pfile can use Microsoft Purview Information protection (MPIP) to remove the label and protection on the .pfile, make changes, and then reapply the label and protection to the updated file.
After this rollout, Microsoft Purview Endpoint Data Loss Prevention (EDLP) will be able to simplify and protect the collaboration experience in managed Windows devices in conjunction with the MPIP client. Non-Office files and PDF files stored on managed devices will be labeled while retaining their original file types to allow a user to modify and update the file on their device. When a user copies and uploads a labeled file to a destination external to their Windows device, EDLP will help enforce the rights protection by converting the file to a .pfile for secure sharing to other users. If the other users are also protected with EDLP, they can use MPIP to remove the label on the shared files before collaborating.
Coming soon for Microsoft Purview eDiscovery: We will increase the limits for Hold policies for eDiscovery Premium. You will be able to add more locations into a single Hold policy within a case.This message applies to the new Purview portal only. Classic eDiscovery and Microsoft Graph are not currently supported.
When this will happen:
The In development for Microsoft Intune page in our documentation has been updated.
How does this affect me?
On March 11, 2025, the Ask a virtual agent feature in the Maker Portal will reach end of support.
