Summary:
SharePoint page editors with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license will get an AI-powered authoring panel to create and edit pages using natural language prompts, leveraging existing Microsoft 365 content. The feature rolls out from April to June 2026, is enabled by default, and allows switching between AI and manual editing.

[Introduction]
We are introducing Create and edit SharePoint pages with Copilot-powered AI, a new authoring experience that helps page editors plan, create, and refine SharePoint pages using natural language prompts. This feature reduces the time and effort required to build high-quality pages by allowing authors to generate and edit content, layouts, and web parts directly through an AI-assisted editing panel, grounded in their organization's existing Microsoft 365 content.
[When this will happen]
Targeted Release: We began rolling out in early April 2026 and expect to complete by mid-April 2026.
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in early May 2026 and expect to complete by early June 2026.
