Summary:
Starting late April 2026, Microsoft 365 Copilot will show suggested actions like summarizing and FAQ generation directly in OneDrive and SharePoint file previews. Enabled by default for eligible users, this feature respects existing permissions and policies, requiring no admin action but user awareness is recommended.
Details:
[Introduction]
We are improving how users discover Microsoft 365 Copilot capabilities in the file previewer of OneDrive and SharePoint. Ready to use Copilot actions will appear directly in the file preview experience, alongside the Copilot button. When users preview supported files, suggested prompts will help them complete common tasks such as summarizing documents, generating FAQ, and extracting key information without writing their own prompts.
[When this will happen]
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in late April 2026 and expect to complete the rollout by early May 2026.
