Surveys agent is being renamed to Forms agent [MC1287367]

Message ID: MC1287367

[Introduction]

To better align with Microsoft Forms branding and improve clarity for customers, the Surveys agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is being renamed to Forms agent. This update is a naming and visual refresh only and does not introduce any functional changes. The rename helps users more easily associate the agent with Microsoft Forms capabilities.

[When this will happen:]

• General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in late April 2026 and expect to complete by late May 2026.
