explanation for non-techies**
Imagine you have a favorite kitchen gadget that helps you prepare meals efficiently. Over time, the manufacturer decides to stop making that gadget, so you can no longer buy replacement parts or get help if it breaks. This is similar to what's happening with the Document Automation Toolkit in Power Automate. As of November 15, 2025, this feature will no longer be supported, meaning you won't be able to install, configure, or use it anymore.
Just like you would look for a new kitchen tool to replace your old one, it's time to explore other options within Microsoft's offerings. Microsoft Copilot Studio is suggested as a new tool that can meet your business needs. Think of it as upgrading to a more advanced kitchen appliance that offers new features and capabilities, helping you work more efficiently.
If you have questions or need guidance on transitioning to these new features, reaching out to your Success Manager, FastTrack representative, or Microsoft Support is like asking a knowledgeable friend or expert for advice on which new kitchen gadget to choose. They can provide the information and support you need to make a smooth transition.
