📢 Official Microsoft Message Center Announcement
(Updated) Measure Copilot sentiment in the Copilot Dashboard with Viva Pulse
Message ID: MC1422058 (Updated)
Updated July 14, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.
[What and Why:]
Organizations need more than usage metrics to understand Copilot adoption—they need clear insight into employee experience and perceived value. This update brings detailed Viva Pulse survey results directly into the Copilot Dashboard, enabling leaders to measure adoption, readiness, impact, and business value. By centralizing rich survey insights, admins and change leaders can make data-driven decisions to improve Copilot adoption and scale AI transformation with confidence.
[Rollout Schedule:]
- Targeted Release (Worldwide): We began rolling out in mid-July 2026 (previously mid-June) and expect to complete by end of July 2026 (previously mid-July).
