Microsoft 365 Copilot: Federated Copilot connectors support create, update, and delete actions

Microsoft 365 Copilot’s federated connectors will support create, update, and delete actions in third-party services starting October 2026. Actions require user approval and use the user’s permissions. Administrators can review and disable connectors via the admin center. No user action is needed to receive this feature. Federated Copilot connectors currently allow Microsoft 365 Copilot to retrieve data from third-party services in real time. With this update, supported connector tools that create, update, and delete content in those services will become available in Microsoft 365 Copilot experiences, helping users complete tasks without leaving Copilot. Actions are performed using the signed-in user’s account and permissions in the third-party service, and by default each create, update, or delete action requires the user’s explicit confirmation before it runs. Administrators can review each connector’s read and write/delete tools in the Microsoft 365 admin center and disable connectors that do not meet their organization’s requirements.
