We’re excited to announce the new Copilot Hub experience in the Power Platform Admin Center, unveiled at Microsoft Build, which brings a host of improvements based on your feedback. This updated experience provides Power Platform and environment admins with a central place for Copilot management – offering greater transparency on upcoming features, deeper usage and cost insights, and unified settings for easier governance. Best of all, it’s live now for you to try out. Simply head to the Power Platform admin center, select the ‘New admin center’ toggle in the upper right corner, and click on Copilot in the left navigation to explore the new capabilities.

Transparency and visibility: No more surprises in what’s coming

We heard your feedback for more clarity and heads-up about new Copilot features. In response, we built a “What’s new” page in the Copilot hub that gives you a centralized view of upcoming Copilot and AI capabilities. Instead of scrambling to catch up with release notes or blog posts, you can now see upcoming features within the “What’s new” page in Copilot hub. For each new announcement, you’ll see what the capability is, how it might impact your organization, and how to prepare your environments ahead of time. Visit the “What’s new” page now in Copilot hub to learn about upcoming features, and stay ahead of the curve for smooth, managed rollouts.

Get started: Resources & best practices to accelerate your Copilot and agent journey

Adopting Copilot and Copilot Studio agents can be a journey, so we’ve added a dedicated “Get Started” page in Copilot hub loaded with resources and tools to set you up for success. One highlight is the Copilot Studio Kit – a comprehensive toolkit that helps makers develop, test, improve, and track Copilot Studio agents. It also includes an agent inventory dashboard, which provides a tenant-wide view of all Copilot Studio agents in the organization – with details on which features they use, knowledge sources, and more. We’ve also included a curated best-practice guide for Copilot Studio architecture and governance. Be sure to explore this section to leverage best practices throughout your AI journey.

Usage and cost insights: Measure Copilot and agent impact

Another clear ask we heard from customers was better analytics – richer insights into how Copilot and Copilot Studio agents are actually being used, so you can determine their value. The updated Copilot hub delivers new usage dashboards and metrics that go far beyond basic counts, helping you connect Copilot usage to business impact. If a Copilot feature or Copilot Studio agent has high usage, you’ll see evidence to support expanding it.  In the Copilot Hub, each supported product now has its own analytics page with detailed usage and cost-related insights

Copilot Studio: Agent success at a scale

You’ll get an overview of how many Copilot Studio agents are active in the last 28 days, and an agent success rate (e.g. percentage of chatbot sessions that were successfully resolved). The hub even ranks your top 10 Copilot Studio agents by monthly active sessions – effectively showing you which Copilot Studio agents are the most “impactful” or popular in your org. This makes it easy to identify your most valuable solutions so far, and double down on those success stories.

Integrated Cost Tracking: We know usage goes hand-in-hand with cost and licensing considerations. The Copilot hub doesn’t leave you guessing here either. Licensing details and cost insights are built into these pages, with links into the Power Platform Licensing page for more information. For instance, on the Copilot Studio product page you can quickly jump to the Licensing page to review AI credits or meter consumption associated with your Copilot Studio agents. Having usage and cost data side-by-side means admins can better calculate ROI – you can directly compare how much a Copilot feature is being used versus its cost impact. This visibility into “AI spend vs. value” was a top request from customers looking to justify investments in Copilot and Copilot Studio agents, and we’ve made sure to reflect this in the new experience.

Power Pages: AI-powered Web Creation and Governance

The updated Copilot hub introduces a dedicated experience for Power Pages, giving tenant admins the power to monitor and manage AI-powered website features across environments. With this integration, you gain:

• Visibility into how makers leverage AI for site creation, page generation, and intelligent content suggestions
• Analytics on end-user engagement with AI elements like chatbots and smart search
• Switchable “Maker” and “End User” views for audience-specific insights

These granular analytics illuminate how AI is shaping the customer and creator journey, enabling targeted improvements and maximizing the value of every Copilot-powered web experience.

Centralized Management: One stop for Copilot and agent settings

The third major feedback we’ve heard from admins is that managing Copilot settings is too fragmented making discoverability challenging. In the new Copilot hub experience, we introduced a new “Settings” page to centralize Copilot settings into a single place – making it easier to govern Copilot and Copilot Studio agents across environments.

The “Settings” page now aggregates settings across Power Platform products. Here you’ll be able to configure global settings like Bing Search, data movement across regions, and feedback, as well as product-specific settings across Copilot Studio, Power Apps, Power Pages, and Power Automate.

What can I expect to find on the Copilot hub? 

Managing Copilot features across the Power Platform just got a whole lot easier. The Copilot hub in the Power Platform Admin Center is designed to give admins a comprehensive toolkit for gaining insights, ensuring readiness, and maintaining control over Copilot capabilities. Here’s an overview of the three core sections in the Copilot hub. 

Readiness: Your Go-To Resource Hub 

The readiness section is your central location for understanding everything about Copilot in the Power Platform. It’s packed with educational resources to help Power Platform admins understand how Copilot works and provides a clear view into our data and security fundamentals for Copilot features. It also highlights resources around Microsoft’s unwavering commitment to Responsible AI, ensuring that the technology adheres to ethical principles and safeguards user trust. But that’s not all – staying informed is crucial in today’s fast-evolving landscape. The Readiness section features announcements of new Power Platform Copilot releases, ensuring Power Platform admins are up to date on the latest enhancements and capabilities. This section equips you to enable Copilot features in your organizations with confidence.  

Usage: Tracking Adoption Made Simple 

Understanding how and where Copilot is being used in your organization is essential for effective management and planning – and that is where the Usage section shines. This area provides Power Platform admins with metrics on Copilot adoption across key areas of the Power Platform, including Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, and Copilot Studio. These insights enable admins to identify patterns, drive adoption strategies, and maximize the value of Copilot for their organizations. 

Governance: Centralized Control at your Fingertips 

Managing and maintaining oversight of Power Platform Copilot features is made easier than ever now, thanks to the insights and tools available in the Governance section. The Governance section is designed to give Power Platform admins full visibility into Copilot features through insights and tools to monitor and manage feature availability across environments. Here’s what you’ll find: 

• A detailed breakdown of Copilot features: Gain a clear view of all Copilot capabilities and identify which environments they’re enabled in. This transparency helps admins ensure consistency and compliance across the organization.  

• Settings grouped by product level for easy management: Settings are organized by product – Power Platform, Copilot Studio, Power Apps, and Power Automate – making navigation intuitive and efficient. Need to adjust Copilot feature availability for a specific product area? A convenient side pane lets you update Copilot environment- and tenant-level settings without leaving the Copilot hub, simplifying the entire process.  

• Content moderation for Responsible AI Insights: The Governance section goes beyond settings – it also provides information on how Microsoft’s Responsible AI principles are put in practice across the Microsoft Power Platform. This helps admins understand the safeguards in place to maintain ethical and responsible AI practices.  

With these tools, the Governance section enables admins to efficiently tailor Power Platform Copilot settings to meet the unique needs of their organization, while maintaining full transparency and control. 

Why does this matter and what is next? 

As AI-powered capabilities continue to redefine how people work, the demand for streamlined governance and insightful analytics grows. The Copilot hub in the Power Platform Admin Center is designed to meet this growing need, offering a centralized location for resources that enables admins to embrace innovation, while ensuring compliance, security, and responsible AI practices.  

The journey doesn’t stop here – this is just the beginning for the Copilot hub in the Power Platform Admin Center. We’re committed to evolving the Copilot hub with richer insights and enhanced controls to continue to support admins in governing Power Platform Copilot features. As we roll out new updates and capabilities, we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.

What’s new?

By default, Microsoft-managed encryption keys are used to encrypt and secure all customer data. However, to give customers greater control over their own data, CMK allows customers to instead leverage an encryption key from their own Azure Key vault, which Microsoft does not manage. Once the CMK policy is applied to the environment, all existing and future Power Apps data – the app source code and assets – will maintain encryption via the customer’s encryption key. This will also be applied retroactively to any Power Platform environment already enabled for CMK. This change is an admin-led action that will be invisible to makers and end-users using Power Apps today.

You can find step-by-step instructions on how to apply this to your environments at https://aka.ms/PowerAppsCMK.

Copilot-generated app descriptions

Using the powers of AI, Copilot is now able to take your low-code app and provide a brief description that captures how end-users within your organization can use your app to increase their productivity. Makers can always review these descriptions and modify if Copilot didn’t quite get it right. These descriptions will help IT admins support the apps in their organizations in a scalable way and make apps more discoverable for end-users and increase app usage. There’s no need for users to guess what an app does based on the app name or launch the app to confirm it’s the one they’re looking for. Copilot inspects all code in the app and provides a succinct summary of what the app does.

Building this capability was not easy especially when it came to large app sizes. To work around the input size limitations of Large Language Models (LLMs), the team defined an app graph that could be broken up into several discrete pieces. The LLM describes each piece separately and then performs a final summarization.

We are excited to unlock this capability, so that makers can focus on building apps and let Copilot make their apps more discoverable for end-users.

Apps Grid View

We are excited that as part of this release, users will have a richer experience discovering apps with the new grid view. This will feature maker and Copilot-generated app descriptions in a more prominent card view. Try it out by clicking on the grid button in the Apps tab within Maker Portal

What’s Next

While this Public Preview feature is currently limited to U.S. environments, we are planning to expand the capabilities of Copilot across geographic regions with support for different languages.
