SharePoint: Create charts on pages with AI
Rollout startMay 2026

Added to roadmap: 9 apr 2026 | Last modified: 21 sep 2026

This feature empowers authors to create rich, interactive charts with AI in SharePoint when editing SharePoint pages. Authors can describe the chart they want to create in plain language within a chat on a SharePoint page.

Updated September 14, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.

Introduction

We’re introducing a new Charts web part with AI assistance in SharePoint, designed to help page authors quickly create rich, interactive charts using plain-language prompts. This update reduces the time and effort needed to visualize data on SharePoint pages and enables more intuitive, AI-powered authoring experiences directly within SharePoint.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 560076.

When this will happen

  • Targeted Release: Rollout begins in late May 2026 (previously early May) and is expected to complete by mid-June 2026 (previously mid-May).
  • General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout begins in mid-June 2026 (previously mid-May) and is expected to complete by end of September 2026 (previously end of August).

How this affects your organization

Who is affected

What will happen

  • While editing a SharePoint page, a Chart web part can be added in one of the following ways:
    • Open the AI agent chat pane from the Agents coin icon in the upper-right navigation or the AI sparkle icon on the page toolbar.
    • Open the web part toolbox, search for Chart under the AI category, and add it to the page (this automatically opens the chat pane).

      • Screenshot 1: Entry point if adding a chart from the web part toolbox:

  • Describe the chart to create using plain language, such as the data to visualize and the chart type. Relevant files can be attached to provide additional context.

    • Screenshot 2: Prompt to add a chart through the chat pane:

  • After the chart is created, follow-up prompts can be used to:
    • Add, edit, or remove data
    • Adjust the look and feel of the chart
  • Changes can be reverted at any time using the Undo button in the command bar.
  • The feature is enabled by default for users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, and existing SharePoint permissions and Microsoft 365 policies continue to apply.

What you can do to prepare

No action is required.

  • Optionally inform SharePoint authors of the new capability.
  • Update internal documentation if you provide SharePoint or Copilot guidance.
  • Review Copilot licensing assignments to confirm which users will have access.
