The standalone Copilot experience for Power BI—also known as chat with your data—is a full-screen, chat-based AI experience that finds data and answers questions about any report, semantic model, or Fabric data agent you have access to.
Beginning on or after September 5, 2025, the standalone Copilot experience will be enabled by default for all tenants where Copilot has already been turned on.
This means if your tenant admin has enabled this setting: Users can use Copilot and other features powered by Azure OpenAI—then we’ll automatically enable this setting in September: Users can access a standalone, cross-item Power BI Copilot experience (preview).
Not ready yet? Here’s how to opt-out
We understand that some organizations are still preparing their data for AI and configuring what Copilot can access. If you’re not ready for this experience to go live just yet, you can opt out of the automatic rollout by doing the following:
- Turn the setting on in the admin portal.
- Then immediately turn it off.
This action tells us that you prefer to enable the standalone Copilot later, and we’ll skip the automatic default-on for your tenant.
