M365 Changelog: Microsoft 365 Copilot: Select Microsoft SharePoint sites when writing prompts – Jan 7, 2025

MC973505 – Coming soon for Microsoft 365 Copilot: When writing Copilot prompts in the chat box, users will be able to use CIQ to search for and select Microsoft SharePoint sites.

Context IQ (CIQ) is a set of AI capabilities from Microsoft that allows users to search for, select, and insert relevant enterprise or personal data directly into their prompts or conversations. This capability helps users to “ground” or anchor their prompts in specific, contextually relevant data, making responses more accurate, specific, and useful.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 413110.

A Microsoft 365 Copilot license is required to use this feature.

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide): Microsoft will begin rolling out mid-February 2025 and expects to complete by late February 2025.

How this will affect your organization:

No impact to tenant admins. This change is available by default. Users will begin seeing their recent SharePoint sites in CIQ (only the sites they have access to) when writing Copilot prompts.

What you need to do to prepare:

This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before or after the rollout. Review your current configuration to determine the impact for your organization. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation.
