Roadmap information for Microsoft Copilot Studio and agents transitioning to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap

Starting July 2, 2026, Microsoft Copilot Studio and agent roadmap updates will move from Release Planner to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap for unified tracking. Release Planner links will redirect automatically, but some custom planning features will be discontinued. No immediate action is required.

[What and Why:]

Starting July 2, 2026, roadmap updates for Microsoft Copilot Studio and associated agent experiences will be published to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, giving you a single, consistent place to track upcoming features. Release Planner will no longer be maintained as a source for this roadmap information. This change makes it easier to stay informed and plan for what's coming—all from one location. This transition also aligns roadmap information with experiences that are easier for AI-powered tools and agents to discover and consume. By consolidating roadmap content within the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, customers benefit from a more consistent and accessible source of information for both human users and AI-assisted workflows.

[Rollout Schedule:]

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in early July 2026 and expect to complete by early July 2026.
