Policy
Automatically open Copilot side pane with contextual insights for links opened from Outlook
Microsoft Edge
Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
Supported OS tags: Windows7
This policy controls whether Microsoft Edge automatically opens the Microsoft Copilot side pane when users open eligible web links from Outlook emails sent from the same tenant. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 148, eligible links from Outlook emails sent from the same tenant can open with the Copilot side pane. Copilot can use the originating Outlook email as context to surface relevant insights and suggested next steps alongside the web content. If you enable this policy or don't configure it, the Copilot side pane opens automatically when users open eligible links from Outlook emails sent from the same tenant. If you disable this policy, the Copilot side pane doesn't open automatically for those links. This policy is not yet supported. When support becomes available, eligible links from Outlook emails sent from the same tenant can open with the Copilot side pane.
