(Updated) Microsoft Copilot: filter chat history for easier context recall [MC1134741]

Message ID: MC1134741 (Updated)

Updated August 14, 2025: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.

Introduction

We’re introducing a new filtering capability in Microsoft Copilot that allows users to refine their view of past conversations. This enhancement helps users quickly locate relevant chats aligned with their workflows, making it easier to revisit prior prompts, responses, and context.

For more information, refer to Roadmap ID 497910. 

When this will happen

• General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rollout in late August 2025 and expect to complete by early September 2025.
• General Availability (DoD): We will begin rollout in late September 2025 and expect to complete by late October 2025.
• General Availability (GCC and GCC High): We will begin rollout in early November 2025 (previously late September) and expect to complete by early December 2025 (previously early October).

How this affects your organization

Previously, users could only browse their full Copilot chat history without filtering options. With this update, selecting All conversations in the navigation pane will display the full history, and users can apply filters to narrow results based on their current needs.

This feature is on by default and requires no admin configuration.

What you can do to prepare

No admin action is required. We recommend informing your users about this new capability so they can take full advantage of the improved navigation experience in Copilot. If your organization provides training or onboarding for Copilot, consider including this update in your materials.

Compliance considerations

No compliance considerations identified, review as appropriate for your organization.
