(Updated) Create charts on pages with AI in SharePoint

Updated September 14, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.

Introduction

We’re introducing a new Charts web part with AI assistance in SharePoint, designed to help page authors quickly create rich, interactive charts using plain-language prompts. This update reduces the time and effort needed to visualize data on SharePoint pages and enables more intuitive, AI-powered authoring experiences directly within SharePoint.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 560076.

When this will happen

• Targeted Release: Rollout begins in late May 2026 (previously early May) and is expected to complete by mid-June 2026 (previously mid-May).
• General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout begins in mid-June 2026 (previously mid-May) and is expected to complete by end of September 2026 (previously end of August).

How this affects your organization

Who is affected

• SharePoint page authors
• Tenants using SharePoint Online
• A Microsoft 365 Copilot (Premium) license is required to use this feature

What will happen

• While editing a SharePoint page, a Chart web part can be added in one of the following ways:
• Describe the chart to create using plain language, such as the data to visualize and the chart type. Relevant files can be attached to provide additional context.
• After the chart is created, follow-up prompts can be used to:
• Changes can be reverted at any time using the Undo button in the command bar.
• The feature is enabled by default for users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, and existing SharePoint permissions and Microsoft 365 policies continue to apply.

• Open the AI agent chat pane from the Agents coin icon in the upper-right navigation or the AI sparkle icon on the page toolbar.
• Open the web part toolbox, search for Chart under the AI category, and add it to the page (this automatically opens the chat pane).

• Add, edit, or remove data
• Adjust the look and feel of the chart

What you can do to prepare

No action is required.

• Optionally inform SharePoint authors of the new capability.
• Update internal documentation if you provide SharePoint or Copilot guidance.
• Review Copilot licensing assignments to confirm which users will have access.
