MicrosoftReanne_Wong I wanted to give myself some time to digest this before I stated my opinion in case it changed, but it hasn't. I really think it's a step backward to have the Copilot app redirect to the web browser. Having a standalone app has really improved our users' perception of Copilot, and understanding of what it is, and thus usage. That makes me happy, because the ultimate goal in IT is to make users more efficient. Before the standalone app, we had a shortcut to the Copilot web application, but it wasn't utilized much. With this change, Copilot is becoming just another browser tab, rather than a standalone application. For more technical users, this doesn't matter because they/we can just rearrange windows to fit our workflow. But many users are not technical. There's something about the concept of a separate app that users love, that really distinguishes the app from just another website. This change is the opposite of "Easy access for optimal productivity".
