Copilot Studio agents problems connecting to Sharepoint knowledge source
I would start with one affected agent and one known SharePoint page that used to answer correctly. Re-index or refresh that knowledge source, then ask the agent a question whose answer appears verbatim on the page. In parallel, test whether the same user can find that content through Microsoft Search and open the file or page directly. If direct access and Microsoft Search work but the agent still answers as if the content is missing, collect the agent ID, SharePoint site URL, failed prompt, timestamp, and environment region for a Microsoft support case. That evidence points to retrieval rather than permissions.
Thanks for the detailed troubleshooting,
This issue has now expanded and is currently affecting all users and all agents across our environment. Direct access and Microsoft Search continue to work as expected, but retrieval through Copilot Studio fails across the board.
We followed this path and gathered the necessary evidence (Agent IDs, SharePoint site URLs, timestamps, failed prompts, and region details), and a support ticket with Microsoft has officially been opened.
