This guide explains how to control the “Let Copilot use content from Microsoft Edge” setting in Windows 11. This feature allows the AI to read your browser activity to provide better answers.

Microsoft is launching the new Copilot experience that works with Bing Chat AI. It lets you use plain language to change settings or complete tasks. This feature is currently limited to users in the Microsoft Insider Preview program. For it to work, you must have Microsoft Edge version 115.0.1901.150 or newer installed.

Why use this feature?

Allowing Copilot to see your Edge content helps the AI understand the context of your questions. It can provide more accurate and helpful responses based on the pages you are currently viewing.

What happens when you are done?

Once you adjust these settings, Copilot will either have permission to access your browsing data or it will be blocked from doing so, depending on your choice.

How to change your Copilot settings

Follow these steps to turn the feature on or off:

Open the Copilot pane by clicking the icon on your Taskbar.
Click the More options button (the three dots) at the top of the pane.
Select Settings from the menu.

On the settings screen, look for the section labeled “Let Copilot use content from Microsoft Edge.” Flip the switch to On or Off based on your preference.
