Control Copilot access to Microsoft Edge page content, browsing history, and video transcript for Entra account user profiles when using Copilot in the Microsoft Edge sidepane

This policy controls whether Copilot in the Microsoft Edge side pane can access page content, browsing history, and video transcript. This includes page summarization, video summarization, and other contextual queries.

This policy applies only to users who are signed in to Microsoft Edge with a Microsoft Entra account and are using Copilot in the side pane. It applies to Copilot experiences in the side pane, including Microsoft 365 Copilot Business Chat and Microsoft Copilot with enterprise data protection (EDP).

If you enable this policy, Copilot can access page content, browsing history, and video transcript when users initiate contextual queries in the side pane or from Edge.

If you disable this policy, Copilot can't access page content, browsing history, or video transcript. This also disables the M365LinksAutoOpenCopilotEnabled feature, because Copilot requires page content access to provide contextual insights for Microsoft 365 links.

If you don't configure this policy:
- Access is enabled by default in non-EU regions.
- Access is disabled by default in EU regions.
- Users can turn this setting on or off in Microsoft Edge settings.

Copilot can't access page content on pages protected by data loss prevention (DLP) policies, even if this policy is enabled.
