Microsoft has introduced a significant update for Copilot on Windows 11, enhancing its functionality by integrating web tabs directly into the app. This update is available to all channels in the Windows Insider Program.
Web Integration with Edge
With the latest update, Copilot now opens web links in a side pane within the app, utilizing Microsoft Edge. This feature ensures users maintain context during their interactions, as opposed to opening a separate browser window. Users are prompted to grant permission for Copilot to access the content of the tabs they open, allowing for a more seamless experience.
New Features and Improvements
The update also introduces new features such as Podcasts and Study and Learn mode, sourced from Copilot.com. Additionally, Microsoft has made performance and reliability improvements to the app. Some unspecified features have been temporarily removed but are expected to return before the general release.
Version and Availability
These enhancements are part of Copilot app version 146.0.3856.39. Users can also enable synchronization of passwords and form data to streamline their workflow within Copilot. This update aims to improve user experience and efficiency on Windows 11.
