Updated March 30, 2026: We have updated the timeline and content. Thank you for your patience.
[Introduction]
We’re introducing a refreshed Copilot‑inspired new tab page in Microsoft Edge for Business. This update brings search, chat, and web exploration together into a single search box, along with Copilot‑suggested actions and curated work content designed to help users stay focused and complete tasks more efficiently. Users can also view personalized news and activities.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 558256.
