Features added and then removed?
About two weeks ago I noticed that the file upload (paperclip icon) was available in Copilot for Web along with GPT-4 Turbo functionality for all conversation styles. Now, however, the file upload bu...
- Hi agreca - Thanks for your question. The behavior you are noting with the file upload feature availability is due to the ongoing testing. During the test flight process adjustments are being made and test groups may be reset. Hope that helps!
Thanks for the response! Is there a reason why I would have been part of the test flight and then removed? This has happened quite a few times to me in the past but I'm always on the same computer, browser, account and internet connection.

PattiCofano, I did think of one additional question with regard to feature testing and release for Copilot. Is there a location I can go to confirm whether a feature is currently in test flight or if it's actually been released to all users? I really want to share the new features with my organization as they become available but it would be quite embarrassing to announce a feature that is only available in test flight.
Edit: I am aware of the Roadmap site for Copilot for M365 but I'm not aware of a similar location for Copilot for Web. Thank you.
- PattiCofanoHi agreca - Thanks for your question. Copilot is constantly evolving to bring new capabilities to the AI-powered chat experience. As noted, we occasionally introduce new features to limited sets of users in test flights to ensure their optimal performance before we release them more widely. Some features may be in preview flights. You can reference the Features in Copilot page for updated information on features. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/copilot/features
- agreca I was wondering the same thing about a roadmap for features. We have invested in adoption training for all staff on this version "Copilot for Web (formerly BCE)". The 2 main pieces of feedback are around speed and being able to summarise documents you upload. It's mainly uploading PDFs, but some people have asked about being able to upload word documents too.
