Dynamics 365 Business Central: controlling the Summary system part.
Business Central version 27 introduces a controllable Summary system part for Copilot that developers can show, hide, or configure on card and document pages. The Summary FactBox uses AI to generate role-tailored record summaries and identify urgent information across the current page and related data.
