Microsoft SharePoint Online: Select page canvas elements for Copilot-assisted editing

SharePoint Online now lets page authors with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license select specific page canvas elements for targeted Copilot editing, improving precision and user experience. This feature is generally available worldwide with no action required. We have introduced an enhancement to Copilot in SharePoint page authoring that allows page authors to directly select specific page canvas elements before submitting a prompt to Copilot. This improvement helps authors provide more precise context for Copilot, making it easier to target edits to specific sections or web parts and improving the page editing experience. Rollout schedule General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): This feature is available now. Who is affected SharePoint page authors with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.
