What and Why

Power BI will retire the preview standalone Copilot experience in early January 2027. This includes access from the Power BI Home page, Power BI mobile apps, Microsoft Teams, and app-scoped Copilot. Microsoft has announced Microsoft 365 Copilot in Power BI and Microsoft Fabric (preview), which brings Microsoft 365 Copilot into these products. Beginning December 8, 2026, Microsoft 365 Copilot in Power BI will be enabled by default.

Rollout Schedule

Microsoft 365 Copilot default-on (Worldwide): December 8, 2026.

Retirement (Worldwide): Standalone Copilot will be retired in mid-January 2027.

Impact on Your Organization

Standalone Copilot will no longer be available from the Power BI Home page, Power BI mobile apps, Microsoft Teams, or within Power BI workspace apps. The associated navigation entry points and settings will be removed, including the standalone Copilot tenant setting and the "Show Copilot in app navigation" setting. Beginning December 8, 2026, Microsoft 365 Copilot in Power BI will be enabled by default, providing an alternative for continued AI-assisted analysis of Power BI data.
