Search within your agent

You remember adding a specific message somewhere but you don't remember where? Instead of inspecting your topics and nodes one by one, use the search feature to locate elements within your agent.

Open the search panel

Select the Search your agent icon at the top of most pages. Alternatively, use Ctrl+J (Windows) or Command+J (Mac). The search panel appears, listing recently updated elements of your agent. You can select any element from the list to go directly to the page where you created or used it in Copilot Studio. For example, selecting a topic takes you directly to the authoring canvas for this topic. Selecting a tool takes you directly to the configuration page for this tool.

Search for an element by name

Enter the name of the element you're looking for, or part of its description, in the search box. For example, the name of a topic, the name of a variable, something you remember from a text or voice message in a node. When the element you're looking for appears in the search results, select it to go directly to the page where you created or used it. You can use the arrow keys on your keyboard to go up and down the list of results, and press Enter to go to the desired element.

Use search filters

To limit the scope of your search, select the Filter icon next to the search box, and select the types of element you're looking for:

• Knowledge
• Topics
• Tools
• Skills
• Entities
