Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365): People Skills- removal and deletion admin control

Summary

A new admin control in the People Skills settings lets administrators permanently remove their organization's People Skills data from the tenant. With this new control, organizations can delete their entire skills library along with all users confirmed, inferred, and imported skills data—giving them full control to offboard from People Skills in support of data governance and compliance needs. Once deletion is initiated, skills will no longer appear on user profile cards or be used across Microsoft 365 skills-based experiences such as Copilot and Viva. The control is admin-only with no automatic changes.
