MC1239186 - Microsoft 365 Copilot: Turn Copilot Pages into SharePoint News posts

Updated June 1, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. 

Introduction

We are introducing a new handoff experience that allows users to take content created in Copilot Pages and seamlessly continue authoring as a SharePoint news post. This update helps users move from ideation to publishing more efficiently.

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out in September 2026 (previously late May) and expect to complete by end of September 2026 (previously mid-June).

How this affects your organization

Who is affected:

• Users who create content in Copilot Pages and publish SharePoint News
• Organizations using Microsoft 365 Copilot with SharePoint Online

What will happen:

• Users can move content from Copilot Pages directly into a SharePoint News post.
• A new SharePoint option will appear under the Create button in Copilot Pages:

  

• Selecting SharePoint opens the content in SharePoint News for continued editing and publishing.
• The feature is enabled by default.
• Existing SharePoint permissions, policies, and governance controls are respected.
• There is no disruption to existing SharePoint News workflows.
