M365 Changelog: Microsoft Graph API will include usage metrics for Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 – Aug 29, 2024

MC877369 – Coming soon: Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 usage in your tenant will be added to the Microsoft Graph API to facilitate the creation of customized reporting and analytics. Metrics included in the Graph API will match those available in the Copilot for Microsoft 365 usage report in the Microsoft 365 admin center, including tenant-level count of enabled users and active users, as well as last activity date per user (totals for each Microsoft 365 app and a grand total). A Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 license is required to use this feature.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 396562 and with MC724835 Microsoft 365 admin center Usage report: Microsoft Copilot with Graph-grounded chat (Preview) (published March 2024).

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out early September 2024 and expect to complete by mid-September 2024.

How this will affect your organization:

Before this rollout, the Graph API did not include Copilot for Microsoft 365 usage.

After this rollout, admins can use the Graph API to create customized reporting and analytics for Copilot for Microsoft 365 usage.
