Assessment Reasoning
Copilot Agent Mode is being introduced to Word on Android during an active October 2026 rollout. Admins mainly need to update user guidance and ensure Copilot policies align with mobile access. The impact is moderate for admins due to AI and data compliance considerations, and higher for users as it changes the Word mobile experience by adding interactive AI drafting and reasoning features.
