About organizing and sharing context with Copilot Spaces

Understand how gathering context with Copilot Spaces can improve your results and help your teammates.

谁可以使用此功能?

Anyone with a Copilot license can use Spaces.

注意

Copilot Spaces is in 公共预览版 and subject to change.

Copilot Spaces let you organize the context that Copilot uses to answer your questions. Spaces can include code from repositories, free-text content like transcripts or notes, and more—grouped together in one place. You can ask Copilot questions grounded in that context, or share the space with your team to support collaboration and knowledge sharing.

Why use Copilot Spaces?

Whether you’re working solo or collaborating across a team, Spaces help you make Copilot more useful.

With Copilot Spaces you can:

  • Get more relevant, specific answers from Copilot.
  • Stay in flow by collecting what you need for a task in one place.
  • Reduce repeated questions by sharing knowledge with your team.
  • Support onboarding and reuse with self-service context that lives beyond chat history.

How are Spaces different from knowledge bases?

Spaces are optimized for specific tasks and grounded conversations. Because context in Spaces is scoped, Copilot's responses are more accurate and relevant.

Who can use Spaces?

Anyone with a Copilot license, including Copilot Free, can create and use Spaces.

During the 公共预览版, if you're using a Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise plan, the organization or enterprise that provides your plan must have the Opt in to preview features setting enabled. See 管理组织中的 Copilot 策略 or 管理企业中 Copilot 的策略和功能.

Spaces can belong to a personal account or to an organization. Spaces owned by an organization can be shared with other organization members (read-only) or kept private to the person who created the space.

Questions you submit in a space count as Copilot Chat requests.

  • If you're a Copilot Free user, this usage counts toward your monthly chat limit.
  • If you use Spaces with a premium model, this usage counts toward your premium usage quota.
