Near Term Updates and Roadmap (2026)

The following improvements are planned for 2026:

Copilot in OneDrive (for the cloud) continues receiving improvements but new features are slowing down. Rolling out is the ability to review PDFs using the Copilot context menu and AI actions. The Office agents from Anthropic create a folder in OneDrive for their output.

Administrative updates will help admins manage the sprawl of agents and M365 Copilot features with controls and reporting. Additional updates focus on securing content.
