Disabling Agent Creation for End Users with Copilot for Microsoft 365
Hello! I am an IT admin at my organization, and we recently rolled out Copilot for Microsoft 365 for all end users. I would like our end users to be able to access agents published by my organization and Microsoft (Analyst, Researcher, etc.) but I do not want them to be able to create agents in Copilot Studio OR Agent Builder. We have disabled Copilot Studio at the license level, but our end users are still able to create agents in the M365 Copilot app with the "New Agent" button. To summarize, I want our users to be able to access Agents created by our organization and Microsoft, but I do not want them to be able to create any agents of their own at this time. Is there a way to do this? Thank you in advance, stevenwagnerDLP for Microsoft 365 Copilot is four behavior, Microsoft's own sources disagree on their status
"DLP for Microsoft 365 Copilot" gets talked about as one switch. Microsoft Learn now documents four behaviors, on four different schedules, and they still do not share one status. Restricting Copilot from processing sensitivity-labelled files and emails comes closest to settled. Roadmap 557255 reads "Launched", General Availability, dated April 2026. Learn states only that the feature "is available", without naming a release stage. The behavior that blocks external web search when a prompt contains sensitive info types shows on Microsoft 365 Roadmap 548671 as "Launched", while Learn gives that section no status at all. That same roadmap record carries both General Availability and Preview tags. Message Center MC1263277 was the rollout notice; it expired 31 July 2026. Blocking sensitive info typed into the prompt is the contested one. Roadmap 515945 has read "Launched", General Availability, since 14 May 2026, while Learn, edited since, still says the feature is in preview and rolling out. Verify it in your tenant before you rely on it. External email as grounding data runs the opposite way: Learn tags it "(preview)", while Roadmap 561552 reads "In development" with GA scheduled for January 2027. A setup detail that catches teams out: this is configured only through the Custom DLP template, and selecting the Copilot location disables all other locations in that policy. Confirm what content DLP actually evaluates rather than assuming it. Before you map "DLP covers Copilot," decide which of the four behaviors you need and verify each one's status in your own tenant.deactivate the Microsoft Copilot Consumer App
Hi support .. would like to deactivate the Microsoft Copilot Consumer App while ensuring that Microsoft 365 Copilot (work/enterprise) continues to function normally for users. Here is my Questions Is it possible to disable only the Copilot Consumer App while keeping Microsoft 365 Copilot fully functional? If this is supported, what is the recommended Microsoft approach to achieve this? Are there any known limitations or potential impacts on Microsoft 365 Copilot or other Microsoft 365 services after disabling the Consumer App? Is this configuration officially supported by Microsoft? noticed that in Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps (Cloud App Catalog), both the Copilot Consumer App and Microsoft 365 Copilot appear as Sanctioned automatically through the App Connector. Is this expected behavior, and can the Consumer App be managed independently without affecting Microsoft 365 Copilot?
Copilot pain points....
Guys… seriously… we need some improvements here. I’m not asking Copilot to solve quantum physics or decode alien transmissions. I’m asking a Microsoft program for help with a Microsoft program. You’d think that would be the one scenario where Copilot would shine, right? Like, “Ah yes, my home turf, allow me to demonstrate competence.” But no. I can’t even get Copilot to correctly explain how to do basic SharePoint tasks. BASIC. As in, “click the thing, then click the other thing.” Instead I get a TED Talk about SharePoint philosophy and a guided meditation on patience. And then there’s the folder comparison fiasco. I want Copilot to do something so simple it should practically be a reflex: Compare two folders on my hard drive and tell me if they’re identical. Copilot’s response? “Absolutely, I can do that!” Followed immediately by an ever‑expanding scavenger hunt of things I apparently need to do first. It’s like asking someone to hand you a screwdriver and they say, “Sure, but first you’ll need to assemble this IKEA shelving unit, install three dependencies, sacrifice a goat, and agree to a quest.” I’m glad to hear you’re merging all the copilots into one “super Copilot.” Great idea. Fantastic. But let’s be honest — I’m praying the one that survives is the personal Copilot, because Copilot 365… whew. That thing feels like it was built by a committee that communicates exclusively through interpretive dance. And don’t even get me started on the wrapper versions. Those are like Copilot wearing a Halloween costume of itself, but the costume is made of cardboard and disappointment. And by the way — I’m STILL waiting for Copilot to create an app or program that automatically files my Outlook emails into folders. This is not a moon landing. This is not a Mars rover. This is not a Nobel Prize category. This is a simple, everyday, normal-person task. Yet somehow Copilot treats it like I’ve asked it to build the next Windows release from scratch using only a spoon and positive thinking. Come on, guys. We love the vision. We love the potential. But the basics need to work before the magic tricks do.
Does Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent Builder support OCR and image analysis for SharePoint?
Hello everyone, I am currently testing a Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent Builder agent that is grounded on SharePoint document libraries. During testing, I observed that the agent can successfully analyze and generate responses from text-based documents such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, CSV, and TXT files. However, when folders contain image-based files (JPG/PNG), the agent sometimes reports incomplete analysis or is unable to extract information from those files. I would appreciate clarification on the following: Does Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent Builder officially support OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for JPG and PNG files stored in SharePoint? Can Agent Builder natively analyze image-based content, or is this capability only available through Copilot Studio with additional AI services? Are there any documented limitations regarding image processing compared to text-based document processing? Has anyone successfully implemented a SharePoint-grounded Agent Builder solution that can reliably analyze scanned images, photographs, or image-based documents? If OCR/image analysis is not currently supported, is there a recommended Microsoft solution or architecture for achieving this requirement?Deleted Copilot Chats and Temporary Chat: What End Users Should Know
I published a short video for end users who are asking a practical Copilot question: Can employers see deleted Copilot chats? The question usually starts when users see the “Permanently delete chat?” warning in Copilot. That warning can be easy to misunderstand, especially in work or school accounts where workplace policies may still apply. The video explains this in plain language, including: What users should understand before deleting Copilot chats Why Temporary Chat needs a closer look Why deleted from your view may not mean the same thing in a workplace account What users should avoid typing into Copilot at work Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/ND9Cdp5h9rs?si=FyBkInRHpVgc_x1I Supporting article: https://traccreations4e.com/can-employers-see-deleted-copilot-chats/ Related deletion guide: https://traccreations4e.com/copilot-delete-chat-history/ traccreations4e-p26 6/8/2026Apologies for repeated prompts – account works but restricted / Cuenta ok pero restringida
Hola, mi cuenta fue marcada por una infracción de “Abuso de la plataforma” en M365 Copilot. Ya verifiqué con soporte de inicio de sesión y confirmaron que no hay problemas con mi cuenta. Sin embargo, sigo experimentando errores y desconexiones al usar Copilot. ¿Alguien del equipo de Microsoft puede ayudarme a revisar este bloqueo o indicarme cómo apelar la restricción? Este problema me impide usar Copilot con normalidad. Utilicé un promt una y otra vez intentado hacer una gráfica de pastel y la IA estuvo "alucinando" datos. Intenté tanto que me enojé. Me disculpo. Gracias. Hello, My account was flagged for a “Platform abuse” violation in M365 Copilot. I have already contacted sign-in support, and they confirmed that there are no issues with my account. However, I am still experiencing errors and disconnections when using Copilot. Could someone from the Microsoft team help review this restriction or guide me on how to appeal it? This issue is preventing me from using Copilot normally. I used a prompt over and over trying to make a pie chart and the AI was 'hallucinating' data. I tried so much that I got angry. I apologize. Thank you. Puedes responder en inglés o español, gracias. | You can respond in English or Spanish, thank you.Short survey: Feedback on Sensitivity Label Suggestions in Microsoft 365 Apps
