Use Contact Center workspace
The Contact Center workspace application is an agent-facing app in Dynamics 365 Contact Center that provides a powerful agent desktop with Copilot capabilities and collaboration tools across channels like live chat, SMS, voice, Microsoft Teams, and social channels. Contact Center workspace connects to your organization's customer relationship manager (CRM) solution to provide contextual knowledge and customer data to assist agents in resolving customer queries. As an agent, you can have simultaneous customer sessions within the app without losing the context of each session. You can also use Copilot within Contact Center workspace to ask questions pertaining to a case, removing the need to manually search across multiple knowledge sources.
Prerequisites
You must have the Omnichannel Agent role.
Access the app
The app is automatically installed in all the Dynamics 365 Contact Center organizations. You can sign in to Dynamics 365, and on the apps page, select Contact Center workspace.

- Agents can work on up to nine sessions and within a session, they can open up to 10 tabs.
- A new session starts when an agent opens a case from the Home session or accepts an incoming conversation.
- If the agent opens the customer record from a session, a new tab opens in the same session.

- When an agent opens a page from the site map, the page loads in the current focused session.
