Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
This policy controls whether browsing history in Microsoft Edge is shared with Microsoft 365 Copilot Search to provide more relevant search results. Only tenant-approved, work-related sites are shared. This feature is available only to users who are signed in to Microsoft Edge with an Entra ID account and have an eligible Microsoft 365 Copilot license. If you enable or don't configure this policy, browsing history will be shared with Microsoft 365 Copilot Search by default, and users can turn off sharing using the toggle in Microsoft Edge settings. If you disable this policy, browsing history won't be shared with Microsoft 365 Copilot Search. Learn more about how Copilot uses data and consent at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2333202
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Value name: ShareBrowsingHistoryWithCopilotSearchAllowed
Enabled: ShareBrowsingHistoryWithCopilotSearchAllowed = 1
Disabled: ShareBrowsingHistoryWithCopilotSearchAllowed = 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.
