Business value
With 2024 release wave 1, we introduced chat with Copilot: a conversational experience where people can get assistance from Microsoft Copilot to find data, get unblocked, or learn new skills. Most of our customers install one or more ISV add-on apps from Microsoft AppSource to enhance Business Central with industry-specific solutions, localized functionality, or other critical capabilities that meet their needs.
Now, Copilot in Business Central can explain and guide workers through using functionality of these add-on apps, transforming Copilot from a simple "librarian" to an in-house expert that understands your unique Business Central. Copilot saves time and reduces context switching when you need answers by searching add-on app documentation on your behalf.
Feature details
Copilot's chat capabilities are enhanced with the following:
- You can ask questions about installed add-on apps, such as setup tips, getting past errors, how to use new pages, fields, and business processes.
- Copilot explains and guides based on online documentation provided by the apps installed in your Business Central environment.
- To enhance Copilot with information from the web, administrators must first Enable Bing Search from the Copilot & agent capabilities page.
Note
- Copilot responses are subject to availability and quality of the documentation provided by each app publisher. Microsoft isn't responsible for third-party content provided by app publishers.
- This feature is part of Copilot chat and is available for sandbox and production environments of any country localization. Previews are subject to supplemental terms of use. For more information, go to Supplemental terms of use for Dynamics 365 preview.
- This feature is supported in English only. While it can be used in other languages, it might not function as intended. Language quality might vary based on the user’s interaction or system settings, which may impact accuracy and the user experience.
- AI-generated content might be incorrect.
Availability
This addition to Chat rolls out in September 2025 and requires Update 26.3 or later.
Preparing your online content for Copilot
We appreciate that app publishers need time to plan their online content strategy. To give our partner community the opportunity to verify compatibility with their own content and move more of their guidance and troubleshooting material online, this functionality is available only in sandbox environments from update 26.3. With update 27.0, it also becomes available in production environments.
