Cannot Publish My Agent
Hello I am currently facing an issue publishing an agent for testing purposes in Microsoft Copilot Studio. Despite having the license assigned, the publishing process is not functioning as expected....

Hey MSOPS1 , it looks like you're hitting three of the most common 'day-one' hurdles with Copilot. Here’s the simple fix for each:
The Missing Tabs: You're likely in the basic 'Declarative' builder. To get those Knowledge and Tools tabs, head over to the full Microsoft Copilot Studio instead.
The License Error: This is usually a permission quirk. Ask your Admin to add you to the 'Copilot Studio Authors' security group in the Power Platform Admin Center - that usually clears the 'user license' pop-up immediately.
The Teams Issue: Publishing in the Studio just saves your work; your Admin still needs to 'approve' it in the Teams Admin Center before it shows up in the store for everyone.
Thanks,
Rajesh G
