Microsoft Edge

Control Copilot access to page context for Microsoft Entra ID profiles

Computer and userIntune-readyCopilotPageContext

Supported on Microsoft Edge version 124, Windows 7 or later

What it does

This policy controls whether Copilot in the Microsoft Edge side pane can access page content. This policy applies only to Microsoft Entra ID profiles in Microsoft Edge. It doesn't apply to Microsoft account (MSA) profiles. Copilot requires access to page content to summarize pages and interact with text selections. This policy doesn't control access for Copilot with enterprise data protection (EDP). Access for Copilot with EDP is controlled by the 'EdgeEntraCopilotPageContext' (Control Copilot access to Microsoft Edge page content, browsing history, and video transcript for Entra account user profiles when using Copilot in the Microsoft Edge sidepane) policy. If you enable this policy, Copilot can access page content. If you disable this policy, Copilot can't access page content. This also disables the 'M365LinksAutoOpenCopilotEnabled' (Automatically open Copilot side pane with contextual insights for links opened from Outlook) feature, because Copilot requires page content access to provide contextual insights for Microsoft 365 links. If you don't configure this policy: - Access is enabled by default in non-EU regions. - Access is disabled by default in EU regions. - Users can turn this setting on or off in Microsoft Edge settings.

  • The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
  • Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
