Rollout

Roadmap

Rollout dates are often only in the text. When Microsoft moves them, the change shows under "What changed".

Schedule dates changed in the text

Date phrases in schedule sentences differ between the versions this installation saw
  • Seen 12 Dec 2025 late November 2025 → end of January 2026
  • Seen 1 Oct 2025 late September 2025, early October 2025 → late November 2025

Read from date phrases in Microsoft's text, not from notice metadata. A changed phrase can be a moved rollout, a new milestone or just rewording; "What changed" below shows which.

What the notice says

Microsoft’s text, safely structured

Updated December 12, 2025: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.

We’re introducing Benchmarks in the Microsoft Copilot dashboard (in Viva Insights). This new feature enables organizations to compare Copilot usage internally across cohorts and externally against similar companies. These insights help identify adoption trends and opportunities to improve Copilot engagement.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID: 495464.

When this will happen

  • Targeted Release (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in mid-October 2025 (previously late September) and expect to complete by late October 2025 (previously early October).
  • General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in late October 2025 (previously mid-October) and expect to complete by end of January 2026 (previously late November 2025).

How this affects your organization

Once available, the Copilot dashboard will include:

  • External benchmarks to compare your percentage of active Copilot users with:
    • Top 10% and Top 25% of companies like yours
    • Top 10% and Top 25% overall benchmarks
  • Internal benchmarks to compare cohorts within your company based on manager types, regions, and job functions:
    • Percentage of active Copilot users
    • Adoption by app
    • Returning user percentage

External benchmarks are calculated using randomized mathematical models to ensure privacy. Each benchmark group includes at least 20 companies and is not derived from any single company’s actual data.

What you can do to prepare

  • Review which users have access to the Microsoft Copilot dashboard and adjust permissions as needed.
  • Assess the impact of benchmark visibility on your organization’s Copilot adoption strategy.
  • Update training materials and documentation to reflect the new dashboard capabilities.
