Standalone Copilot - data interactions

Hi sba_ur,

Thank you  for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.
I would also take a moment to thank Shahid12523 , GilbertQ , GeraldGEmerick  for actively participating in the community forum and for the solutions you’ve been sharing in the community forum. Your contributions make a real difference.

To answer your points copilot will never show data to people who don’t already have access, so there is no risk of extra exposure even if a dataset is marked discoverable. Since your tenant is in Canada but Copilot works only from US/EU, it will need cross-region processing if you enable it. For cost, it needs Premium or Fabric capacity F2+/P1+ and charges are based on capacity usage, not per user.

If data residency is a strict requirement in your org, it is safer to keep it off until Copilot is available in Canadian region.

Kindly refer to the below documentation links for better understanding:

Hope this helps if you have any queries we are  happy to assist you further.
