We are announcing the Evaluation for Workflows (Trace-Based) feature for Microsoft Copilot Studio. This feature will reach public preview on May 31, 2026.
How does this affect me?
This feature enables trace-based evaluation for workflows to measure quality, detect failures, and validate behavior without re-execution or side effects.
This feature introduces a reliable evaluation framework that:
- Enables safe evaluation without re-execution or side effects.
- Reduces reliance on manual testing, increasing customer confidence, adoption, and governance readiness.
- Establishes the foundation for evaluation across the entire agent lifecycle.
What action do I need to take?
This message is for awareness, and no action is required.
