What the notice says
Microsoft's text, with its sections, lists and tables; source markup removedWhat and why
Microsoft will retire the SharePoint Page Agent (Frontier) for SharePoint Online. This early access experience enabled users to turn content from Microsoft 365 Copilot conversations into draft SharePoint pages and news posts.
As Microsoft continues to invest in AI-powered content creation experiences, page and news authoring capabilities are now available directly within SharePoint through Copilot in SharePoint. Users can create and refine content directly within the SharePoint authoring experience.
