Message ID: MC1065549
We are announcing the Easily find and use knowledge data sources feature for Microsoft Copilot Studio. Instead of having to know the precise details of specific data sources, this feature allows users to search for applicable data sources to add to agents. This feature will reach general availability on May 1, 2025.
How does this affect me?
Previously, selecting data sources required knowing the precise name and location of a data source, or time dedicated to locating and selecting the data source. This feature introduces a search functionality that responds to queries and returns applicable data sources. The feature is also backwards compatible with existing knowledge sources, allowing for easy integration of new data sources.
What do I need to do to prepare?
This message is for awareness and no action is required.

The announcement of the “Easily find and use knowledge data sources” feature for Microsoft Copilot Studio is a game-changer for both administrators and users alike. With the general availability set for May 1, 2025, this update promises to streamline the way we interact with data sources, making life a lot easier for everyone involved.
For admins, this new search functionality means less time spent on tedious data management tasks. Instead of hunting down specific data sources or memorizing their precise names and locations, admins can now leverage this intelligent search feature. It’s like having a personal assistant who knows exactly where everything is stored—no more frantic searches or endless scrolling through lists. Plus, the backwards compatibility with existing knowledge sources ensures a smooth transition, so there’s no need to worry about compatibility issues.
On the user side, this update is equally impactful. The ability to search for applicable data sources opens up a world of possibilities. Users can now access the information they need more quickly and efficiently, leading to enhanced productivity and better decision-making. Imagine being able to find that elusive report or dataset with just a few keywords—talk about a time-saver!
In terms of overall impact, this change is likely to be significant. By reducing the friction in data sourcing and accessibility, it fosters a more collaborative environment where both admins and users can focus on what truly matters: leveraging that data for insights and innovation. And let’s face it, who wouldn’t want to spend less time on data hunting and more time on creative problem-solving?
