MC1266023 - Microsoft 365 Copilot: Comprehensive Copilot metrics in Copilot Analytics
Message Center
What changed since this version
Updated May 29, 2026: We have updated the timeline. 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.
In parallel, Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat will unify Work and Web tabs into a single, streamlined Copilot Chat experience. As part of this change, Copilot Analytics will consolidate Copilot Chat (Work) and Copilot Chat (Web) reporting into one unified Copilot Chat metric.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 557981.
