Business value
A more efficient data source selection workflow helps you discover relevant knowledge sources quicker, and more effectively. You don't have to manually search through a list of data sources; instead, you can search and select from a list to find exactly the correct data source you need.
Feature details
Connecting agents with the end user's work data with knowledge sources enhances the accuracy of the agent's responses through domain knowledge. The main challenge in knowledge source selection is identifying relevant data and its location.
With this update, we're rebuilding the experience in Copilot Studio when you select the data sources they want to use in their agent.
Previously, selecting data sources required either existing knowledge of the precise name and location of the data source, or dedicated time to locate and select the source. Now, when you configure your agent's data sources, you'll have a search-first experience that responds to queries and returns applicable data sources.
The new selection experience is backwards compatible with existing knowledge sources and allows for easily integrating new sources.
You will see the new experience when selecting data sources while configuring an agent.
