Overview
Copilot Studio allows organizations to build, manage, and deploy AI-powered copilots. Connected agents are integrations or external services that extend Copilot’s functionality. While useful, there may be scenarios where disabling these agents is necessary for governance, troubleshooting, or compliance.
Why Disable Connected Agents?
