Updated April 30, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.

[Introduction]

We’re introducing the Agent Dashboard, a new dashboard available as part of Copilot Analytics in Microsoft Viva. This dashboard provides visibility into key agent adoption trends and associated Copilot credit usage. It supports insights into agents used within Microsoft 365 Copilot, which may be:

Built using Microsoft Copilot Studio, SharePoint, or the Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit
Built by employees, your organization, Microsoft, or Microsoft partners

This release also enhances the Adoption tab of the Copilot Dashboard, allowing users to view agent insights directly and access the Agent Dashboard for deeper analysis.

Public Preview (Worldwide): Begins rolling out in early February 2026 (previously January), expected to complete by mid-February 2026 (previously end of January).
