There is currently not a policy that does all of this automatically, but if you'd like to disable all other Sidebar apps (and keep Copilot available,) you can block the other Sidebar apps. Please see this guide on how to do so: Manage the sidebar in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Learn
This guide shows how you can block individual Sidebar apps by their Extension ID (which this doc explains how to find.) To block all other Sidebar apps that are not Copilot, you will have to block them each individually.
You can also use this method to enable specific Sidebar apps, such as Copilot.

I would like to use copilot chat in the sidebar of edge to primary ask questions to the webpage I am browing. I am limited by the no of messages I can send it to copilot chat in the sidebar. Is there anyway I can purchase a copilot pro just for the purpose of using this feature. I do not want office 365 or any other software other than this.
