How to run Copilot Studio bot (not working)
Hi, I’m trying to run my Copilot Studio agent but I’m not sure how to execute/test it. I’ve attached a screenshot for reference. Can someone guide me?

hi TechUser2026 You’re probably very close in Copilot Studio, the agent usually needs to be both saved/published and then tested from the Test your agent pane.
A few things to check:
Make sure the agent is Published
Open the Test your agent panel on the right side
Start with a simple prompt like “hello” to verify it responds
If topics/flows are involved, confirm they are enabled and saved
If it still does not run, sharing the screenshot (or any error message) would help identify whether it’s a publishing, authentication, or topic trigger issue.
