Outlook: New Copilot entry point in Classic Outlook Beta
Data as of 13 minutes ago (26 October 2026)
Description
We've introduced a new experience for Copilot in the apps—a consistent entry point across apps that sits above your work and understands the context beneath it. Rather than scattering touchpoints across the interface, it anchors Copilot as one connected system across Microsoft 365, surfacing relevant actions that help you stay in flow. With this release, we are rolling out this new experience - already available across other Outlook endpoints, as well as in Word, Excel and PowerPoint - to classic Outlook.
