(Updated) Microsoft 365 Copilot: Change in accessing additional agents in Excel

🚨 The Signal: Microsoft has paused the rollout of a change to how users access additional Copilot agents (like Researcher or Analyst) within Excel. The original change would have moved access from the chat-only experience to a menu option, but this is now on hold.

The Impact

All Excel users with Copilot licenses are affected by the pause; there is no immediate security risk.

  • Excel users: No change to Copilot agent access due to pause.
  • Admins: No immediate action required for Copilot agent access.
