Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
This policy controls whether Copilot in the Microsoft Edge side pane can access page content. This policy applies only to Microsoft Entra ID profiles in Microsoft Edge. It doesn't apply to Microsoft account (MSA) profiles. Copilot requires access to page content to summarize pages and interact with text selections. This policy doesn't control access for Copilot with enterprise data protection (EDP). Access for Copilot with EDP is controlled by the 'EdgeEntraCopilotPageContext' (Control Copilot access to Microsoft Edge page content, browsing history, and video transcript for Entra account user profiles when using Copilot in the Microsoft Edge sidepane) policy. If you enable this policy, Copilot can access page content. If you disable this policy, Copilot can't access page content. This also disables the 'M365LinksAutoOpenCopilotEnabled' (Automatically open Copilot side pane with contextual insights for links opened from Outlook) feature, because Copilot requires page content access to provide contextual insights for Microsoft 365 links. If you don't configure this policy: - Access is enabled by default in non-EU regions. - Access is disabled by default in EU regions. - Users can turn this setting on or off in Microsoft Edge settings.
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Value name: CopilotPageContext
Enabled: CopilotPageContext = 1
Disabled: CopilotPageContext = 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.
