Copilot Enable/Disable Checkbox Missing (Word Insider 2506)

I am trying to disable Copilot features in Word, as I want nothing to do with AI and had them disabled before updating to the beta channel (which I did for excel features), but in the options->copilot section the only option is for "add a copilot summary to every document" which is disabled, and in new documents the prompt to try and use copilot features still appears.

    Hi @LillianaEvariste

    Copilot can't be fully disabled in Word Insider 2506; the checkbox is missing due to version limits—either downgrade Word or disable connected experiences in File > Account > Manage Settings to suppress most AI features.
