What and why

Copilot Notebooks now lets users add Power BI reports as references, bringing report data directly into their notebooks alongside files. Copilot uses this information to help generate more relevant summaries, presentations, and briefs grounded in the organization's data.

Rollout schedule

  • Public Preview (Worldwide): We will began rolling out late September 2026 and expect to complete by mid-October 2026.
  • General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late October 2026 and expect to complete by mid-November 2026.

Impact on your organization

Customers who use Power BI can bring their reports into Copilot Notebooks as a knowledge source, so Copilot's outputs reflect real business data, not just documents. Organizations that don't use Power BI won't see any change.

Action required / Recommendations

No additional setup is required beyond having Power BI and Copilot already available to users. If your organization already uses Power BI and has Copilot enabled, this capability will become available automatically.
