MC1266023 - Microsoft 365 Copilot: Comprehensive Copilot metrics in Copilot Analytics

Updated May 4, 2026: We have updated the content. Thank you for your patience. 

Introduction

We are adding new Copilot metrics across Microsoft 365 apps to help you better understand how users engage with Copilot. These metrics include actions taken in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app, Microsoft Edge, and OneNote, and intent-based usage across Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. This update expands visibility into how users adopt Copilot and supports improved insights in the Copilot Dashboard and Advanced Analysis in Copilot Analytics.
