Today we’re pleased to announce Microsoft 365 Copilot now will include SharePoint Advanced Management capabilities, delivering built-in content governance reports and controls to rapidly accelerate Copilot deployments and automate oversight at scale. 

These reports and controls will deliver powerful insights to help identify and mitigate oversharing and content sprawl, which are critical for maintaining data integrity and access governance.  

By preparing content with fine-grained security, access policies, and regular reviews, this improvement ensures that Copilot can access and deliver only the most relevant and secure information.  

SharePoint Advanced Management is designed to enhance content governance and security by providing IT administrators with tools to manage content sprawl, streamline access management, and ensure compliance with evolving regulations. Including governance and content management features directly into Copilot means that our AI solutions not only enhance productivity and creativity, but also provide a foundation that our customers can use to govern their SharePoint content.  

These features can be complemented with Microsoft Purview to deliver a unified platform for data governance, security, and compliance, enabling organizations to gain visibility into their data, safeguard sensitive information, and manage data risks and regulatory requirements efficiently. This unique approach empowers businesses to leverage AI with confidence, knowing that their data is protected, and their operations are compliant.
