Microsoft Copilot feature availability can depend on license, account type, region, tenant settings, app version, admin settings, and rollout status. Do not paste sensitive information unless your organization allows it. For legal, financial, HR, security, compliance, or customer-impacting work, treat Copilot as a drafting and analysis assistant, not the final approver.
