It’s here. Starting today, SharePoint Copilot Apps are in public preview<\/strong> – and they change what Copilot can do for your users. Instead of describing a task in a back-and-forth chat, users can approve an expense, triage an incident, or run an onboarding checklist as a real, interactive app, right inside the Copilot canvas – not a wall of text.<\/p>\n

Here’s the power: you can surface almost any interactive UX component directly in the canvas<\/strong> – filterable data grids, multi-step forms, interactive maps, live charts and KPI dashboards, schedulers, or a purpose-built approval panel. All fully interactive, built with the web stack your team already knows<\/strong>, and no new platform or hosting to stand up. If you can build it on the web, you can bring it into Copilot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is the next wave of Copilot: not only better answers, but helping people move from intent to outcome – natural-language reasoning on one side, real guided experiences and business actions on the other.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Announcement<\/h2>\n

Today we’re excited to announce the\u00a0public preview of SharePoint Copilot Apps<\/strong>, shipping as part of the\u00a0SharePoint Framework<\/a>\u00a0(SPFx) 1.24 preview. It’s a new way to bring guided, action-oriented experiences into Microsoft 365 Copilot – so users can review, validate, decide, and\u00a0complete<\/strong>\u00a0work without leaving the Copilot flow.<\/p>\n

The split is simple:\u00a0Copilot<\/strong>\u00a0helps users express intent and reason over context;\u00a0SharePoint Copilot Apps<\/strong>\u00a0provide the UX, permissions, validation, and dependable operations that actually get the work done. And you build them with the industry-standard web stack, MCP Apps, and the proven SPFx packaging model –\u00a0hosted automatically in Microsoft 365 tenant<\/strong>, with no extra infrastructure to stand up or run.<\/p>\n

Why this matters<\/h2>\n

Many enterprise workflows can’t end with a generated response. Approvals, updates, submissions, and line-of-business actions need structure, accountability, and predictable execution. SharePoint Copilot Apps connect the flexibility of natural language with the reliability of governed business operations.<\/p>\n
