Add new topics to Copilot chat

In Copilot Studio, you can add topics to your app’s Copilot agent. These topics can be customized to use various trigger types and can respond with simple messages, adaptive cards, or generative answers. Additionally, topics can also initiate actions like flows, connectors, and Dataverse plug-ins enabling seamless point in time integration with external systems.

Add topic to Model-driven-apps via Copilot Studio

Note

Copilot Studio has inline capability to "Test your agent" and can be used to validate topics as they're added. However, topics using out-of-the-box model-driven app custom variables like Global.PA__Copilot_Model_PageContext.pageContext.id can only be tested in the published Copilot.
