"Deprecated" means we intend to remove the feature or capability in a major future release. The feature or capability continues to work and is fully supported until it's officially removed. This deprecation notification might span a few years. After removal, the feature or capability will no longer work. We're notifying you now so that you have sufficient time to plan and update your code before the feature or capability is removed.

Emails that need follow-ups in Copilot in Dynamics 365 Sales

Effective September 2025, the Show emails that need follow up prompt in Copilot in Dynamics 365 Sales is deprecated region-wise. After the deprecation, you can no longer view the emails that need follow-ups in Copilot in Dynamics 365 using this prompt.
However, you can use in-flow summarization and natural language processing capabilities to achieve similar outcomes.

Copilot in Dynamics 365 Sales in full-screen view

Effective September 2025, the full-screen view of Copilot in Dynamics 365 Sales is deprecated region-wise. After the deprecation, you can no longer select, view, or use Copilot option in app’s site map.
Alternatively, you may utilize the Copilot side pane for supported functions, allowing banner summaries to appear within context rather than in an immersive canvas. This approach minimizes context switching and aligns with the strategy of engaging sellers directly within grids and forms.

Exchange integration for relationship intelligence

Effective April 2025, the native Exchange integration for relationship intelligence is deprecated. If you want Dynamics 365 Sales to use emails and meetings from Exchange to generate insights, enable server-side synchronization for Exchange.
