Microsoft 365 Copilot extensibility: Parallel content and identity crawl improves content freshness

Copilot
Parallel content and identity crawl improves content freshness
[Web]
Copilot connectors now run content crawl and identity crawl in parallel, making ingested content available to users faster than before.
Details:
What changed:
Previously, content crawl and identity crawl executed sequentially, causing delays before content became accessible in Copilot. Now, both crawls run in parallel, reducing total processing time. This change improves content freshness and availability without compromising security or permission accuracy.
Why:
Sequential crawling delayed content availability, impacting user productivity.
