Rollout

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 1 Dec 2025 late November 2025 → mid-January 2026

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.

Microsoft’s text, safely structured

Updated December 1, 2025: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.

Introduction

We’re updating the AI Disclaimer experience in Microsoft Copilot Chat based on customer feedback. To address this, we’re introducing an admin control that allows organizations to customize how the disclaimer appears, improving user awareness and flexibility.

When this will happen

Rollout will begin in early December 2025 (previously late November) and complete by:

  • Worldwide & GCC: mid-December 2025 (previously early December)
  • GCC High & DoD: mid-January 2026 (previously mid-December 2025)

How this affects your organization

Who is affected

  • All users of Microsoft Copilot Chat on desktop and web experiences.

What will happen

  • The AI disclaimer will remain visible in the user experience.
  • Admins will gain the ability to heighten this message and to provide a link to their own documentation:
    • The disclaimer will display bolded text for increased visibility.
    • Admins can configure a custom URL pointing to their AI policy documentation.

Screenshots 1 and 2 below: The top image shows the current (default) experience. The bottom image shows the AI Disclaimer with heightened awareness enabled by the admin.

Current experience (default):

Heightened awareness enabled:

What you can do to prepare

  • Review the new AI Disclaimer setting in the Admin Portal once available.
  • Decide whether you want to configure this setting for your organization.
  • If desired, prepare a custom URL to include in the UX.
  • Communicate this change to your helpdesk staff and Copilot users.
  • Update internal documentation if you reference the disclaimer experience.
