5. We're excited to announce the general availability of Restricted SharePoint Search for Copilot, a feature that empowers admins to manage content effectively while deploying Copilot. Users retain access to their content, ensuring a smooth transition. Original Content: Review and audit site permissions with Restricted SharePoint Search Restricted SharePoint Search is now generally available for Copilot for Microsoft 365, enabling admins to review content management and data governance practices without losing momentum with Copilot deployment. Microsoft 365 admins can turn off organization-wide search and restrict both Enterprise Search and Copilot experiences to a curated set of SharePoint sites, so they can review and audit site permissions in parallel with the Copilot rollout. Users in the organization can continue to interact with files and content they own or that they have previously accessed in Copilot. Please view the Microsoft Learn article for more information and check the public roadmap for rollout status.

This limits the content Copilot can search and reference when responding to your prompts. Learn more.”
