Updated July 14, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.
What and Why:
Organizations need more than usage metrics to understand Copilot adoption—they need clear insight into employee experience and perceived value. This update brings detailed Viva Pulse survey results directly into the Copilot Dashboard, enabling leaders to measure adoption, readiness, impact, and business value. By centralizing rich survey insights, admins and change leaders can make data-driven decisions to improve Copilot adoption and scale AI transformation with confidence.
