Copilot Studio: Build SharePoint Agents

Key insights

• Copilot Studio lets teams add AI agents directly into SharePoint sites.
  Users open agents from a Copilot icon on the site to ask questions, retrieve information, and run tasks without leaving SharePoint.
• Agents connect live to SharePoint content—sites, document libraries, folders, and especially SharePoint lists.
  That live connection ensures answers reflect the latest organizational data.
• Admins create and publish agents from Copilot Studio to specific SharePoint URLs or lists.
  Authentication uses Microsoft identity and honors existing governance and data loss prevention rules.
• Embedding agents reduces tool switching and speeds work, improving team alignment and task completion.
  Increased productivity comes from getting help and insights where people already collaborate.
• Organizations keep control with built-in governance: data loss prevention, auditing via Microsoft Purview, Sentinel monitoring, and options for custom encryption.
  Enterprise governance supports secure, compliant agent use.
• New in 2025: support for Direct publish to SharePoint, expanded site-level knowledge sources, improved UI, and broader multi-channel support across Teams and Power Apps.
  These updates make agents easier to deploy and more useful across work scenarios.
