MC1288531: Microsoft Viva Adds Copilot Agent Data Export to the Agent Dashboard for Deeper Usage Analysis

📢 Official Microsoft Message Center Announcement

Updated October 20, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. 

[Introduction]

To support deeper analysis of Copilot agent adoption and usage across your organization, Microsoft will introduce a new export capability in the Agent Dashboard. This feature will allow eligible users to download de‑identified Copilot agent usage data for analysis, helping organizations track adoption trends, optimize licensing, and support AI transformation strategies, while maintaining existing privacy and access controls. User identifiers are removed from the output.

This feature will require at least 50 Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses and will apply to the Viva Insights web app.

This message is related to Roadmap ID 560538. 

[When this will happen]

• Public Preview: We will begin rolling out in late May 2026 and expect to complete rollout by early June 2026.
• General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in mid-November 2026 (previously late October) and expect to complete rollout by end of November 2026 (previously early November).

Note: Group managers with data access limited to their own teams will not have access to this feature.

What will happen

• Eligible users will be able to export de‑identified, user‑level Copilot agent metrics and agent attributes aggregated by user and week, for up to the past six months. User identifiers are removed from the output.

  • Copilot agent usage metrics, including the number of responses generated
