What and Why

Microsoft Copilot Cowork now supports Power Platform connectors published as plugins, with connector availability managed through the Microsoft 365 admin center. This enables organizations to extend Cowork to third-party applications and services while giving administrators centralized control over which supported connectors can be used. Cowork respects these settings when creating connections and executing actions, helping organizations extend AI-powered business processes with enterprise-level manageability.

Rollout Schedule

General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout will complete by mid-November 2026.
