October ’24 BC Release Wave – Chat with CoPilot

October ’24 BC Release Wave – What’s Included?

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central receives major updates twice a year, typically in April and October. These updates introduce significant new features and improvements to enhance the functionality and user experience of the platform. Most capabilities are made available in major updates, but some become available in minor updates, which are released monthly.

Microsoft is committed to delivering predictable updates to the service. Updates are continuous, touchless updates that provide new features and functionality. They eliminate the need to do expensive upgrades every few years.

What can we expect in the October 2024 release?

2024 release wave 2 introduces chat: a conversational experience where people can get assistance from Microsoft Copilot to find data, get unblocked, or learn new skills. Most of our customers install one or more ISV add-on apps from Microsoft AppSource to enhance Business Central with industry-specific solutions, localized functionality, or other critical capabilities that meet their needs. Now, Copilot in Business Central is able to explain and guide workers through using functionality of these add-ons, transforming Copilot from a simple “librarian” to an in-house expert that understands your unique Business Central.

Copilot’s chat capabilities have been enhanced with the following:

• Users can ask questions about content from installed add-ons, such as new pages, fields, and business processes.
• Copilot explains and guides based on documentation provided by the apps installed to your Business Central environment.

 Note

• Copilot responses are subject to availability and quality of the documentation provided by each app publisher. Microsoft isn’t responsible for third party content provided by app publishers.
• This feature is part of Copilot chat and is available as a production-ready preview for production and sandbox environments in any country localization. Production-ready previews are subject to supplemental terms of use.
• This feature is supported in English only. While it can be used in other languages, it might not function as intended. Language quality might vary based on the user’s interaction or system settings, which may impact accuracy and the user experience.
• AI-generated content might be incorrect.
