We’re introducing a global default enablement policy for generally available Copilot models on Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise plans. Instead of requiring admins to manually turn on each new model as it ships, models that become generally available will now be on by default. We’re adding a single opt-out control for organizations and enterprises that need stricter governance.
What’s changing
Today, a new default availability for released models policy is available in your enterprise and organization model settings. For the next 28 days, this policy is configurable but has no effect on model availability — nothing changes for your users yet.
On August 26, the policy takes effect:
Models you haven’t explicitly configured will be relabeled from “unconfigured” to “inherits default” and will begin following your policy setting. If your policy is enabled (i.e., the default), those models become available to your users. If it’s disabled, they stay off.
