This is a new feature introducing personalised Copilot behaviour based on Microsoft 365 work data, with rollout beginning in October 2026. Admins have a control to disable enhanced personalisation, but no action is required unless restrictions are preferred. Users will see more tailored responses, so communication and review of privacy settings may be advisable before general availability.
