Microsoft Copilot in Business Central 29: new chat experience in preview
Microsoft documents a new Copilot experience in Business Central version 29, replacing the previous Chat with Copilot.
This production-ready preview lets users ask questions about company data, find information and navigate to Business Central pages through citations. The Chat capability must be enabled and users need permission to access it.
Data queries are read-only; making changes requires customization with an agent. Business Central agents cannot be invoked from this Copilot experience. The documentation was updated on October 2, 2026; this is a documentation date, not a confirmed launch date.
