Microsoft Copilot to update to enterprise data protection

Microsoft Copilot is set to receive an update next month that includes enterprise data protection for users with an Entra account. The feature will be accompanied by a new ad-free interface, with no changes to other Copilot experiences in Microsoft 365 apps. Rollout begins mid-September 2024, and users signed in with an Entra account will be redirected to a new simplified, ad-free user interface optimized for work and education. These updates are aimed at enhancing data security, privacy, and compliance, and simplifying the user experience. It is important to note that there will be no changes to Copilot for Microsoft 365 graph-grounded chat or any Copilot experience in the Microsoft 365 productivity apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, where enterprise data protection is already provided.

However, it should be noted that government cloud customers and students under 18 are not currently eligible. Existing users logged in with their Entra account will automatically be redirected to the new interface. Web users signed into Bing.com/chat and copilot.microsoft.com with an Entra account will be redirected to the simplified experience on Microsoft.com/copilot, while Windows users will be redirected to the Microsoft 365 app and will be able to opt into Microsoft Copilot. Similarly, mobile users signed into the Copilot mobile app with an Entra account will be redirected to the Microsoft 365 mobile app and will be able to opt into Copilot. The complete rollout is expected to be completed by mid-October 2024.

Overall, this update will be integral in improving the security and compliance of enterprise data for users with an Entra account using Microsoft Copilot, allowing for safer and more private data access.
