SharePoint: AI citations analytics for documents and pages
SharePoint will add AI citations analytics by mid-May 2026, showing how documents and pages are referenced by Microsoft Copilot and AI agents. Features include citation metrics in site usage, page analytics, and a new AI citations analytics page. No admin action is needed; Copilot licenses are required. We are adding AI citations analytics to SharePoint to help site owners understand how their SharePoint documents, news posts, and pages are referenced by Microsoft Copilot and other AI agents. These insights will help organizations track content value, identify high‑impact information, and understand how AI‑powered workflows use SharePoint content. Users must have the appropriate Microsoft Copilot licenses to use the AI features that may generate citations. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 480725.
