Manage SharePoint agents in Copilot Control System: View, block, or unblock agents used in Copilot Chat

Introduction

To improve visibility and control over Copilot agents, Microsoft is introducing a new capability in the Microsoft 365 admin center that allows administrators to manage SharePoint agents directly from the Agents section of the Copilot Control System (formerly Integrated Apps). This update provides a centralized view of all shared agents and enables admins to block or unblock specific agents used in Copilot Chat.

This message is associated with Roadmap ID 487857.

When this will happen

General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout begins in late September 2025 and is expected to complete by late October 2025.
