Documented features match

  • Enable Microsoft Copilot chat experience - low confidence (llm). Docs say: Public preview, roadmap id 573362. Chat capability
  • Product documentation: Use Microsoft Copilot in Business Central (preview), checked 2026-10-02. To access work data, like meetings, emails, chats, files, and more, via Work IQ, you must have a Microsoft Copilot license. Note: Article is marked prerelease / production-ready preview documentation for the new Microsoft Copilot in Business Central (version 29). FAQ and work-with-data articles repeat this.

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.
