Delegated prompt publishing for organization prompts

Admins will be able to delegate publishing of organization prompts to specific users and security groups, who can then create, edit, and delete tenant-level prompts in Prompt Lab. Worldwide (Standard Multi-Tenant).

Why it matters: Lets Copilot admins hand prompt curation to business-unit owners without granting full tenant admin rights, easing prompt governance at scale.

Federated Copilot Connectors in Microsoft 365 Copilot

MCP-based federated Copilot connectors reach GA in US government clouds (GCC, GCC High, DoD), giving Microsoft 365 Copilot secure real-time access to third-party and line-of-business data through Model Context Protocol, with full admin governance and no indexing. Government-cloud scoped, not yet worldwide.
