[added: When users select a link in a Copilot Chat response, including responses from agents built in Copilot Studio, Copilot checks the link with Safe Links in Microsoft Defender for Office 365 before it opens. This check requires third-party cookies for *.safelinks.protection.outlook.com. If the browser blocks third-party cookies, for example through an organization-managed browser policy, users see an Unable to verify link message and the link doesn't open.]
[added: To avoid this issue, allow third-party cookies for [*.]safelinks.protection.outlook.com. For example:]
[added: In Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, add [*.]safelinks.protection.outlook.com to the CookiesAllowedForUrls policy.]
[added: In the browser cookie settings, add [*.]safelinks.protection.outlook.com as a site that's allowed to use third-party cookies.]

Observation time is not publication time, and a comparison does not establish an effective date. Full source bodies are not published; this page holds generated summaries, section headings and, as the page's license allows, Microsoft's changed wording. A documentation edit does not confirm feature availability in an environment.

Requirements, exceptions and scope
Extracted automatically from Microsoft's wording. Confirm dates, conditions and whether they apply to you in the source before acting; a month or quarter is a window, not a day.
How this timeline changed
Changes between ChangeIntel's readings of the page, between commits of its source file where Microsoft publishes it, in Internet Archive copies of pages that keep no other history, and entries from Microsoft's own change log (dated as Microsoft dates them). Edits between readings that neither records are unknown.
