Standalone Copilot

Hello !

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Fabric community !

The admin portal message indicates that Standalone Copilot will be enabled by default on or after September 7, 2025, unless the setting is toggled off in advance since it is managed in the Fabric admin portal under Copilot and Azure OpenAI Service tenant settings.

Your Power BI tenant residing in Canada means all internal customer data is stored in the Canadian Azure geography, unless configured otherwise via multi-geo options.

Fabric Copilot is backed by Azure OpenAI Service, which is typically available in a limited set of regions primarily the US and certain EU datacenters (and not yet in Canada). https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/copilot-enable-power-bi

Microsoft allows cross-region data processing for Copilot, but only with an explicit opt-in via admin-configured consent. Without consent, Copilot features will not operate if they would require endpoints outside your resident region. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-service/copilot-data-movement-geos
