Federated Copilot Connectors are now generally available
[Web]
Federated Copilot connectors are now generally available, enabling users to securely connect Microsoft 365 Copilot to supported third-party data sources and retrieve information in real time using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Details:
What changed:
Federated Copilot connectors are now available across Microsoft 365 Chat, Researcher, and Agent Mode in Excel. Admins can discover, review, enable, disable, and manage Microsoft-published federated connectors from Microsoft Admin Center > Copilot > Connectors.
Why:
Organizations can extend Copilot with real-time access to external business data while maintaining centralized governance and administrative control.
Try this:
Review available federated connectors in Microsoft Admin Center.
Use staged rollout to enable connectors for a subset of users or groups.
Evaluate connectors during the 7-day admin review period before end-user availability.
Disable connectors that do not align with organizational policies or compliance requirements.
Why this matters:
Business impact:
Provides secure, governed access to external business data without requiring data ingestion, storage, or indexing in Microsoft 365.
Personal impact:
Users can connect approved third-party applications and access up-to-date information directly within Copilot experiences, helping them complete tasks more efficiently.

Automate agent lifecycle management with policy-based rules
[Windows, Web]
Admins can now leverage rules to take large-scale agent management scenarios such as bulk installing first-party (1P) agents and reassigning ownerless agents to appropriate managers, enabling consistent governance and reducing operational overhead in enterprise environments.
Roadmap ID:
481518
Details:
What changed:
Admins can now use rules to manage two key scenarios: (1) bulk installation of first-party (1P) agents across all users in the organization, and (2) automatic reassignment of ownerless agents to the appropriate manager. Previously, these actions required manual intervention or scripting, making it difficult to manage at scale. With rules, these workflows can now be executed consistently and based on defined conditions.
Why this matters:
Business impact:
Accelerates enterprise-wide agent adoption while ensuring every agent remains governed with a clear owner, reducing risk and operational gaps at scale.
Personal impact:
Eliminates manual effort for admins to deploy agents or track down ownership gaps, enabling more efficient and reliable management of agent environments.
