Microsoft Copilot: New user control for web searches
Microsoft Copilot is introducing a new user control feature for web searches, which will enable users to turn on or off web queries sent to Bing. This feature will be rolled out between mid-December 2024 and late January 2025, and users can access this control from the three-dot overflow menu. If an admin has disabled web search in Copilot, the user control will remain disabled even after this rollout, and users will not be able to enable web search using the control.
To prepare for this rollout, admins need to review their current configuration to determine the impact on their organization and update relevant documentation. You can learn more about controlling web search queries in Copilot through Microsoft Learn.
Overall, this feature aims to provide users with better control over their web search queries and ensures a higher level of data privacy and security for web queries in Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft Copilot.
