Description
This policy controls whether Microsoft Edge automatically opens the Microsoft Copilot side pane when users open web links from Outlook emails sent from the same tenant.
Starting in Microsoft Edge version 148, when users open eligible links from Outlook emails sent from the same tenant, Microsoft Edge automatically opens the Copilot side pane with contextual insights. 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 links from Outlook emails sent from the same tenant.
If you disable this policy, the Copilot side pane doesn't open automatically when users open links from Outlook emails sent from the same tenant.
This feature applies only to links opened from Outlook emails sent from the same tenant and requires Microsoft Copilot to be available for the user in Microsoft Edge.
This feature is disabled if the CopilotPageContext policy or the EdgeEntraCopilotPageContext policy is disabled, regardless of this policy's configuration. Copilot requires access to page content to provide contextual insights.
