explanation for non-techies**

The Microsoft 365 Copilot Interaction Export API is a new tool designed to help businesses manage and understand the interactions users have with Microsoft 365 Copilot. Think of it like a security camera in a store. Just as a camera records what happens in the store for security and compliance reasons, this API records the interactions between users and Copilot. It captures the questions users ask and the responses Copilot provides, along with the resources Copilot uses to generate those responses.

This tool is particularly useful for companies that need to ensure their operations comply with security and regulatory standards. By exporting this interaction data, businesses can analyze it to ensure that all interactions are appropriate and meet their compliance requirements. It's like reviewing the footage from the security camera to ensure everything in the store is running smoothly and according to the rules.

To use this API, a Microsoft 365 Copilot license is necessary, similar to needing a subscription to access certain premium features or services. The rollout of this API will begin in June 2025, and it will be available automatically, so no additional setup is required from administrators. However, it might be a good idea to inform users about this new feature and update any relevant company documentation to reflect this change.

Overall, this API provides a way for businesses to keep track of how their employees interact with Copilot, ensuring that these interactions are secure and compliant with company policies.
