By October 30, 2026, rollout of Microsoft 365 Copilot work profiles had reportedly begun, according to Forbes JAPAN in a story distributed by Yahoo! Japan. The feature description was attributed to an October 26 Microsoft 365 Admin Center update. Reports say Copilot may use eligible users’ work emails, Microsoft Teams chats and meeting transcripts to build or use a work profile, including material they did not specifically ask Copilot to analyze.
What work information Copilot may use
The reported profile can draw on work emails, Teams chats and meeting transcripts. The described analysis may include content that a user did not specifically submit for analysis in a prompt.
Which accounts may be eligible
The reports describe eligible Microsoft 365 work or school accounts, with access depending on the organization’s Copilot plan and licensing. BornCity reports that without an additional Copilot license, work-data analysis is limited to files a user uploads manually. With a relevant license, broader work data may be available, subject to the organization’s plan.

What users can do with profile information
The reports say users can ask Copilot what it knows about them and delete information in their work profile.
How Copilot settings label work profiles
A settings screen published in Microsoft’s November/December 2025 Copilot blog places Work profile under Personalization. Saved memories and Conversation history appear under Memory. Those labels distinguish sections of the interface.
The screen’s labels describe how the settings are grouped. Microsoft’s Copilot blog shows that interface; its categories are separate settings sections.
