Summary

Microsoft 365 Copilot dashboard will add a public preview export option in mid-May 2026, enabling company-level users to download de-identified, user-day aggregated usage data for the past 28 days. This supports detailed short-term insights and uses existing Viva Feature Access Management controls.

Details

Updated April 6, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. 

[Introduction]

To help organizations analyze more recent Microsoft 365 Copilot usage trends, we’re adding a new export option in the Copilot dashboard. In addition to the existing user‑week export (see MC1173208), dashboard users with company‑level access will be able to export a subset of de‑identified Copilot usage metrics aggregated by user and day. This option includes 28 days of activity data and supports more granular, short‑term insights into Copilot adoption. Exported data will usually reflect copilot activity up to 3 days before the export date; actual timing may vary 

A minimum of 50 Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses is required. This feature applies to the Viva Insights web app.

[When this will happen]

  • Public preview: Mid-May 2026 (previously Early April) – Late May 2026 (previously late April)
  • General availability (Worldwide): Early August 2026 (previously early June) – Late August 2026 (previously late June)

[How this affects your organization]

Who is affected

This feature is available to Copilot dashboard users with full company-level data access, including:

  • Senior leaders (as identified in Entra ID)
  • Admin‑assigned company‑level users
  • Delegates with company‑level access
  • Global analysts and admins
  • Group managers with access restricted to their own teams won’t have access to the user-day export.

What will happen

  • A new export option will allow eligible users to download de-identified, row-level Copilot usage metrics aggregated by user and day, covering the most recent 28 days.
  • Organizations can use this export to assess short-term usage patterns, support tactical adoption efforts, optimize licensing, and evaluate the impact of recent changes.
  • Exported data will usually reflect copilot activity up to 3 days before the export date; actual timing may vary
  • The export supports analysis across Copilot-enabled apps (for example, Word, Excel, Teams) and includes two additional attributes: Organization and Job function.
  • Copilot activity metrics in exports run within 2 days of Copilot license assignments or removals may not reflect those license changes. Exports run after the 2‑day window will accurately reflect the impact of those license changes in copilot activity metrics under normal conditions.
  • Data in previously exported files will not be automatically updated or modified after the export is generated.
  • Access to the new user‑day export uses the same Viva Feature Access Management (VFAM) controls as the existing user‑week export (Viva Insights → Copilot Metrics Export). No new access controls are introduced. Existing VFAM settings for the Copilot dashboard export will remain in effect and apply to both day and week level export options after the day level export is released. Please read MC1173208 for more details.

[What you can do to prepare]

  • Review and update VFAM settings for users with company‑wide access to the Copilot dashboard.
  • Inform eligible users about this new export option.
  • No additional admin configuration is required if export functionality is already enabled.
  • Admins may disable the export feature for the tenant or specific groups at any time through VFAM.
