Microsoft simplifies its Copilot usage report for administrators
On May 6 2026 Microsoft released an updated Power BI report for tracking Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption. The new version uses a simpler layout and adds direct views of how the most active users interact with the tool. Administrators can now see usage patterns without digging through dense tables. The changes focus on highlighting employees who generate the most value from the AI assistant. The update applies only to the existing adoption report and does not introduce new Copilot features inside Power Apps itself.
Until now, adoption data sat in a cluttered report that made it difficult for managers to separate genuine daily use from occasional logins. Teams building internal tools therefore faced little external pressure to incorporate AI assistance into their work. The cleaner view will make high-engagement users visible at a glance, raising expectations that citizen developers should deliver apps faster. Builders who still adjust every control by hand will soon be asked why their output does not reflect the same productivity gains shown in the report.
Analysis
Ignore the adoption dashboard. Open your current canvas app, select the gallery that still needs manual positioning, and type a plain-English description of the layout you want into Copilot. Apply the first formula or property suggestion it returns and test it on a phone before the day ends.
