Documented features match

  • Enable Microsoft Copilot chat experience - low confidence (llm). Docs say: Public preview, roadmap id 573362. Chat behavior
  • Product documentation: Work with Business Central data in Microsoft Copilot, checked 2026-10-02. Microsoft Copilot works on your behalf and can access only the Business Central data that you have permission to access. Note: Article is prerelease documentation (production-ready preview). Copilot FAQ (copilot-overview) says Copilot inherits user data permissions.

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.
