Launch Copilot prompts from a SharePoint page button

Microsoft has introduced a Copilot Action for the SharePoint page button.
Editors with a Copilot license can add the button to a SharePoint page and configure a Copilot action with a predefined prompt. When a visitor clicks the button, Copilot in SharePoint answers the prompt.

  • The button is not visible to users without a Copilot license.

This action type is only available for users with a valid license for Copilot in SharePoint. Additionally, page viewers will need the same license in order to see and use the button. Unlicensed users will not see the button on the page.
