Status evidence

Where they talk about it
- What's new: Demystifying the New Microsoft Copilot Chat in Business Central: 5:20 to 6:26, demo at 3:37 (called "Page context and user knowledge sent to Copilot" there)
Quotes
- 5:51 "Abdul was on a item card. So we can also pull that content from UI." - Shows Copilot uses the current page as context, which matters for extension pages.
Documented features match
- Enable Microsoft Copilot chat experience - low confidence (llm). Docs say: Public preview, roadmap id 573362. Chat capability
- Product documentation: Microsoft Copilot in Business Central FAQ, checked 2026-10-02. Copilot can also use context from the Business Central page or record you're viewing. Note: Article is marked prerelease / production-ready preview documentation for the new Microsoft Copilot in Business Central (version 29). Application card also covers application context (company, page, record, installed extensions).
Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale.
