Microsoft also published licensing details about advanced work in Copilot in SharePoint. Autofill metadata is documented as Autofill columns, a feature previously part of Microsoft Syntex.

Note:
The licensing table does not list SharePoint Agents. Organizations that configured SharePoint Agents as a Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) service should be aware this service is not yet included in the cost management policies.
