You're absolutely right! Currently, there is no option for a Microsoft 365 admin to selectively enable Copilot for specific apps. Copilot integrates with several M365 applications by default, and you cannot choose to activate it in some apps while keeping it disabled in others.
Here's a breakdown of how Copilot currently functions:
Integration: Copilot is designed to work seamlessly across various Microsoft 365 applications, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and more.
Admin Control: Admin controls are focused on assigning Copilot licenses to users and managing access to the service itself, not enabling/disabling it within specific apps.
While you can't choose individual apps for Copilot, it's important to note that Copilot's functionality can vary depending on the application. For instance, Copilot might offer suggestions for writing emails in Outlook or creating presentations in PowerPoint, but its features might differ from its use in Word document editing.
