Microsoft will remove eight OneDrive Copilot actions from the File Explorer context menu between mid-November and early December 2026, with no administrator action required.

The retired actions include Summarize, Create FAQ and Compare Files. Users can still reach Copilot by right-clicking a file and choosing Ask Copilot, via the Copilot icon in File Explorer Home, or in the OneDrive activity center. Files are attached by reference, so existing permissions and protections still apply. Microsoft classes the retirement as a major change and recommends informing users and updating training and help desk documentation.
