    Limitations do not talk about that 

    • Copilot isn't supported in workspaces backed by Power BI Premium Per User (PPU).
    • The Copilot button on the ribbon might be visible to some customers even if the Copilot chat pane isn't yet available for them. This situation is temporary.
    • The report view Copilot pane isn't supported in Power BI Desktop versions dated January 2025 and earlier. Update to the latest version to access this feature.

Thank you for raising this question. I’m currently working on a Proof of Concept (POC) related to Copilot and semantic model metadata behavior, specifically around retrieving column or field descriptions.

If you were able to find any resolution, clarification, or official guidance regarding this issue, could you please share an update here? It would be very helpful for my ongoing POC to understand whether this behavior is expected, a known limitation, or if there are any recommended workarounds.

I would really appreciate any insights or updates, as this will help me progress with my POC.
