How to Manage Bing Chat Toolbar in Microsoft Edge
You can manage the Bing Chat toolbar, now known as Copilot, directly within Microsoft Edge’s settings.
Copilot in Edge provides instant AI assistance, acting as a powerful tool for quick answers, content creation, and on-page information retrieval without leaving your current browsing tab.
This AI feature typically appears as an icon in the upper right corner of your Microsoft Edge window, opening a convenient side panel for seamless interaction. For instance, you can ask Copilot to summarize a webpage you are viewing or generate email drafts directly within the browser.
Manage the Bing Chat (Copilot) toolbar in Microsoft Edge by going to Settings > Sidebar > Copilot and toggling “Show Copilot” on or off. This option controls the visibility of the AI assistant icon in your browser toolbar.
