Imagine you're in a large library, and you're trying to find specific books on various topics. Previously, the books were scattered across different floors and sections, making it a bit of a treasure hunt to locate what you needed. Now, imagine the library has reorganized itself, placing all the books related to a particular subject in one easily accessible section. This is similar to what Microsoft has done with Graph connectors in the Microsoft 365 Copilot environment.
Graph connectors are like librarians that help you index and access information from different "books" or data sources, such as ServiceNow, Jira, or Salesforce. Previously, to set up these connectors, you had to navigate through a complex maze of settings. Now, Microsoft has streamlined this process by bringing all the connectors into a single, centralized location within the Copilot Control System. This change simplifies the process, much like having all your subject-related books in one place in the library.
Additionally, Microsoft has introduced a new "connector gallery," which is akin to having a detailed catalog in the library. This catalog groups books by categories, making it easier to find the right book for your needs. Similarly, the connector gallery organizes connectors by usage scenarios and business needs, allowing you to quickly discover and deploy the ones that are most relevant to your organization.
Furthermore, each connector now comes with clearer descriptions, much like having a summary or review for each book, helping you decide if it's the right fit for your requirements. This enhancement aims to make the management of connectors more intuitive and aligned with how you manage Copilot, ultimately making it easier for users to search and query enterprise content across various platforms.
In summary, these changes are designed to make the process of managing and using Graph connectors more efficient and user-friendly, much like reorganizing a library to improve the user experience.

This experience reflects our commitment to aligning Graph Connectors with the way you manage Copilot today, bringing them closer to the Agents experience for unified, simplified, and intuitive management across data sources and AI workflows. What is new? Alongside this relocation, we're rolling out an enhanced connector gallery experience designed to help you discover and deploy connectors more efficiently. Here's what's improved: Improved Discoverability with Categories: Connectors are now grouped based on usage scenarios and business needs, making it easier to explore what's relevant to your organization. Search by Category or Name: You can now search using connector names or by category to quickly find what you need. Clearer Descriptions for Better Decision-Making: Each connector now includes rich descriptions and context to help you determine if it fits your organization's requirements. - expected in June 2025 | Upon configuration of Graph connectors, your end users will be able to prompt Copilot to ask queries about the indexed content.
