(Updated) Microsoft SharePoint: Microsoft 365 Copilot customers now have SharePoint Advanced Management capabilities

Microsoft 365 Copilot customers now have SharePoint Advanced Management capabilities. This feature is available globally and requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Admins should review the oversharing baseline report via SharePoint Online PowerShell and take recommended remedial actions. Review configurations and notify admins about this change.

Updated June 26, 2025: We have updated the content. Thank you for your patience.

We announced at Ignite (November 2024) that SharePoint Advanced Management will be included with Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses in early 2025. We are pleased to announce that your tenant now includes all SharePoint Advanced Management (SAM) capabilities.

A Microsoft 365 Copilot license is required to use this feature.

[When this will happen:]

General Availability (Worldwide): Available now.

[How this will affect your organization:]

In the SharePoint admin center, the SharePoint Advanced Management page will display this message: “Your SharePoint Advanced Management subscription is now enabled:"

Important recommendations from the product team:

• The oversharing baseline report using permissions is the first significant step in understanding the current oversharing status in your entire tenant and setting up an appropriate baseline. This report is available in Microsoft SharePoint Online PowerShell only and is not available in the SharePoint admin center. We recommend using SharePoint Online PowerShell and initiating the report as soon as possible. After you have the report, you can start to focus on clean-up and remedial actions.
• Remedial actions such as Restricted access control, Restricted content discovery (to exclude content from appearing in Copilot search), and Site access review are documented in Microsoft SharePoint Premium - SharePoint Advanced Management overview - SharePoint in Microsoft 365 | Microsoft Learn

This change is available by default.

[What you need to do to prepare:]

Review your current configuration to determine the impact for your organization. You may want to notify your admins about this change and update any relevant documentation.
