Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
This policy controls whether users can use writing support features in Microsoft Edge for Business, such as Rewrite, which utilizes Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat. With Rewrite, users can receive help with drafting content, rewriting text, and adjusting style directly in their browser tab. In Microsoft Edge, users can trigger it when highlighting editable content in their main browser through the right-click context menu. This policy applies only to Microsoft Entra accounts and doesn't apply to Microsoft accounts. If you enable this policy, users can use Rewrite in Microsoft Edge when logged in with an Entra account. If you disable this policy, users within your tenant can't use Rewrite. If you don't configure this policy, the default behavior is as follows: - Rewrite is available to users - Users can enable or disable Microsoft 365 Copilot access to Microsoft Edge page content using the toggle in Microsoft Edge settings. Note: Rewrite isn't available on pages protected by data loss prevention (DLP) policies to help maintain compliance.

Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Value name: ComposeInlineEnabled
Enabled: ComposeInlineEnabled = 1
Disabled: ComposeInlineEnabled = 0
Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
